NEW ORLEANS Fawn works with me a lot. I have known and worked with her for over twelve years!
UNITED KINGDOM for this job I shot advertising for a bridal fashion designer (and friend). They have a great high-end shop in Marylebone(London) and a production studio just north of London. We rented a 16th century Abbey in County Dorset, England- near the southern coast (Dover, Portsmouth). It was beautiful but most importantly- we had our own executive chef! Sweeeeeeeeeeet…

ATLANTA GEORGIA fashion shoot for a magazine (3 years ago)
This is a memorial post. Stan Milton, who did the hair for this shoot, is one Atlanta’s hair salon Icons. He died suddenly this year and will be sorely missed. Tony Marshall did hair and make up for my studio for almost three years. He also styled wardrobe, which he did on this shoot. His sudden death three years ago sent me into a very bad mental state. He was Lillians adopted “Uncle” and one of the best people I’ve ever known. We were very close. My assistant on this job, Greg Dupree, is doing GREAT as a shooter now , product and people. He also occasionally teaches at his alma mater, the Creative Circus. Crazy kids! They grow up so fast…
