Amanda was an aspiring model, and therefore loved to be in front of the camera. This made my job pretty easy. We did a series of editorial style portraits for her portfolio. This is one of my favorites.

For this photo shoot, I was planning a trip to New York to visit friends. These friends were, consequently, good friends with the brother of Elton Dharry, a professional boxer who has taken several titles.

When they asked me to do a photo session with Elton, how could I say no?

On the chosen day, we headed over to Elton’s house and did a quick photo shoot literally “in the streets”. We were going for a tough, gritty feel, which was not tough to achieve with this guy.

Fun, silly, yet serious. These words describe Brian well. He had me laughing through half of the shoot.
