Elektra December

All makeup in this shoot was provided by  Divinity Makeup .  Model for this shoot is Alena. This shoot was taken in my studio and concept was a collaboration on a simple inspiration of the greek goddesses.  

In this shoot we demonstrate how the tones of purple can give life not only to the model but on the set as well. We use all tones of purple to bring out the features on the model, this can be seen from the purple smokey eyes and light tint on the cheek bones. The deep purple to blue backdrop helps the skin look extra smooth and elongate the body. We hope that these photo's display a great way that purple can be used to enhance any models portfolio.  http://makeupbysuheli.com/   

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if your love and must needs have desires, let here be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart And a song of praise upon your lips. Khalil Gibran, The Prophet  

This shoot is a personal favorite of mine. Many of my close artist friends came together to participate in creating these images and many more that have been used for publishing. This photo shoot was used to promote a wonderful jewelry line called CutieCoduti. This jewelry line is meant for everyone to wear no matter what the occasion. This concept is demonstrated by model Modesty Blaise and makeup artist Suheli Serrano. http://cutiecoduti.com http://makeupbysuheli.com  

This photo shoot was to show a fun way a model can update their portfolio by showing character and beauty at the same time. The model Betty Lopez does this by using her hands, and upper body to bring out the proper emotion for the pose. This photo shoot was very fun and yet on point to get the job done. Makeup was provided by Melissa owner of BellaMakeup365. All concepts in this photo shoot were a collaboration amongst the artist.

The High Line Shoot Set 1 The High Line Shoot was an  amazing opportunity  to show not only the  beauty in New York , but the talent that thrives in this city.  Our goal was to bring the natural everyday fashion out into the  open on The High Line. Makeup Artist Melissa , owner of  Bella Makeup365 was able to accomplish this goal with model Gigi. Melissa  used a a wonderful soft natural pallet of colors to show off Gigi's elegant facial features. Gigi brought it all together  with her personal style and wonderful personality. I consider this  shoot to be one of my favorites. A great many thanks to Melissa , Gigi  and the staff on The High Line for allowing us to shoot on their property.                                                The High Line ...
