I'm at an all time low in my life right now.
Somewhere I'm hoping to escape very soon.


These videos reminded me of who I am.
And what I love to do.

Eliza Torres

IADT graduate Stylist & Clothing Designer Eliza Torres has been a good friend of mine for years now. All of her work is original HAND MADE, one of a kind garments. Her work is so interesting because she takes high fashion concepts, and mixes them with hyper pop color, and an urban flair. Working for Kay Unger, French Connection, and Giant magazine in NYC, Torres's work has been featured on BET Spring Break, and in the Tampa Tribune.

Not only is she bold, creative, and a super bad ass, but SHE KNOWS HER SHIT. Keep your eyes open world, this is a big name in the making.

I'm alittle torn on how I want to approach this.

Thesis Outtake

Makeup by: Mary Coffie

I don't think I will ever get tired of photographing Lindsey.

Cool?

So my friend Cesca made me aware of this posting about me

Design You Trust

Um... this made me very happy. :)

I want to be better at editing skin. I also want lighting and my new camera, and studio so I can take pictures that make me proud. This is Kelse, typical shot by me...but I want to start bettering myself pushing the limit. All good things take time (more importantly money).

Awww back in the day.....Highschool Photography? lol

I was BIG into theatre in High School, and just barely finding photography. I thought this would be a fun picture to share. This was taken backstage during the production of A Midsummer Night's Dream (I was a fairy ha ha). It's always fun to look back at where you come from.

Numero tres

I've been bummed because since I left Ringling I have no access to lighting (untill I buy some), so when I shoot I'm like "blahhhh", but it's been kind of beneficial for me to see how much reflectors can do.... and for me to step away from my overlit style (although once I have lighting I will return to that style lol). Chrissy Johnson is a great makeup artist, its kind of hard to tell because the images are black and white, but she is truly talented.

Its a nice day for alitlle Rock'n'Roll

The Muse strikes again.

                                                                          Beautiful.                                      

                                         We will all yell at her about her fingernails later.

                                            

HEY SARASOTA!

So in recent news I thought I would take this opportunity to let everyone know about this awesome local store called CLOTHESLINE owned by my good friend Austin. What makes clothesline so unique? Well aside from being an independent business collaborating with artists to produce unique one of kind American made (fuck globalization) clothing, the store has a urban graffiti-style atmosphere selling all clothing and merchandise made by local artists (and some really awesome kid-robot merchandise). And it doesn't stop there, clothesline not only houses an on site screenpriting studio...but also has a seperate amazing gallery space where there are often kick ass shows with artists from all over Florida.

To my Fellow Ringling kids:  Why this is relevant to you?

1- If your work is awesome theres a good chance you could exhibit in this space

2- Austin loves collaborating....have some kick awesome drawings/photographs/ or designs that would make an awesome shirt....You can contact Austin and have shirts made (for your thesis? gallery opening? just cuz your awesome?), contact the store to get a quote...tell Austin your an art student...and he will work out an awesome price for you.
