Back from another trip - NY!

I just recently got back from a 5 day trip to NY.  Manhattan to be exact...and it was great.
Main reason I had gone was to visit the McQueen show before it ended.  The exhibit was aptly named Savage Beauty...which is exactly what it was.  It was graceful and beautiful yet cruel and vicious at the same time.  I was in such a thrall that I wanted to literally stay there for the whole day and keep staring at all the amazingly gorgeous pieces that Alexander McQueen has ever created.  His heart and soul was in every piece and what more can a art and fashion lover could ask for.  I found the show to be extremely inspiring.  Just reminds me why I love shooting fashion so much.  It's not just about photographing a clothing on a model, but to show off the fabric and colors and all the wonderful textures that come with it.  To photograph a complete picture where it makes the person who's looking at that image go 'wow!' and wanting to keep looking at it.  That's what I strive for in my photographs.... I want people to keep looking at a photograph taken by me.  I want to be so enamored by it that it is engraved in their mind.  What I've been grateful to know is that I have been achieving this thus far.  I've had followers state that they can't help but stare at my works.  Thank you :)

I also wanted to share that I've recently updated both my site and my blog header.

It's my first time really shooting men and I have to say that it was very challenging, but fun at the same time!  Everyone was great.  I look forward to shooting more men in the future as I enjoyed the challenge very much and have to say very pleased with the results.

Stay tuned for more images as there have been more shoots and a fall fashion shoot publication coming up.
