Pin-up Girl

Model: Christa

Location: Liberty Bell in San Pedro CA 2010

I used Christa as a model for a victory roll demo in beauty school. I can't stand my photography, but her hair came out SO freakin cute!!! She makes for a great pin-up model because she has that sexy hour glass shape and tight tummy. NOT to mention all the tattoos. Cute pic, little sailor girl!<3Alexia

Andi Martens

This girl has gorgeous crispy blue eyes, but she looks so timeless in black and white, I couldn't go with color. All accessories belonged to her Grandmother :) LOVE LOVE LOVE! <3Alexia

Alice (in her modeling wonderland)

Model: Alice

Location: Apartment in Lawndale CA 2008

This was another paid shoot, but I wasn't happy with the photography. This is when I start getting frustrated with being a photographer with little knowledge and low-end equipment. This image ended up fine, I guess, but I also feel that ALL images are going to come out similar to the attitude and experience of the model and this one was just dull. I couldn't agree more with Tyra when she calls out "just another girl with a pretty face". Not model material. Whatever. My concept and my hat.

My Little Cherry Bomb, Christina

Model: Christina Shank

Location: Apartment in Lawndale CA 2008

I remember being very satisfied with everything when I shot this one. I used Gwen Stefani as inspiration for her swirl up top. These images came out so darling. If I were to do anything different, I would probably change out my lighting system and change the color of the gloves and tights so she wouldnt be so washed out. Overall, :)

Model: Asma

Location: My house, Lawndale CA 2008

Paid Job and I can't remember how she found me on the internet, but she called me and we set it up. Her images weren't for anything inparticular, but she photographed well. I adore her weightless curls. Good job, Me. Im proud of my work even prior to beauty school.  This was a fun day of shooting because all we did was take the reflector out with us on a walk and shot a ton of images in the neighborhood.
