Portfolio Building Project 2009

In 2009 I sent this post out to Model Mayhem:

So.. Just like everyone else I am trying to build my portfolio. And I do enjoy seeing all of your beautiful faces!

I want to have a Photography Portfolio-building party at my apartment.
I want to set up 1 white sheet and 1 black sheet.
I want a BUNCH of models.

I have tons and tons of ideas flying through my brain.
I would like to try them out on all of you.

I need a Volunteer Photographer(s)

** This also gives everyone an excuse to meet and work together**

I would like everyone to come hangout and I will do makeup one by one and send them down stairs to have their picture taken and so on...

I mostly want fun HIGH FASHION head shot but I think it could be a blast to have group picture?


Get it?

obviously there isn't any pay here. It for fun portfolio building....

Obviously Schedules are very difficult... I am thinking of doing this on a Sunday. Everyone who works usually gets off at 6pm and can join later. And everyone who is off of work can come during the day.. etc.

My Sunday Schedule for July absolutely SUCKS right now but maybe the first weekend in August or something?


p.s. Im not crazy.

Message me if your interested! First I need a photographer!!!!!!!!!

Soon after I posted this I had a overwhelming amount of feedback. We had tons of people excited about the PBP.

The PBP took place on August 9th 2009. It was amazing. We had a great Turn out.
We had a total of 5 MUA's three beauty artists (Tina Rodosta, Shena O., and Myself) and two amazing Fx artists (Scot Clark and Barton Giley)
We also had 6-7 photographers(which I will name Later) and One amazing hair stylist Habiba White from Salon Euphoria.

The pictures came out amazing we had a lot of fun!



I completely transformed my apartment. I folded the coaches on top of one another and stacked all my furniture...


My room was transformed into a studio as well. I folded up my bed and created 4 different makeup stations. It worked out great. Such a fun party!



Shena O. ("So made Up") I have worked with Shena for a few years. She is very talented and is very promising. Not to mention shes absolutely adorable. I ended up convincing her to be a Model and she did Fantastic.





Tina Rodosta another MUA featured in the PBP. Oh Tina always a blast to work with, shes always so upbeat and excited! She did an amazing job at the PBP! You can see more of her work at: http://www.bridalbeautyconsulting.com/






Scot Clark such an awesome guy! He has taught me so much I definately look up to him! He did Old age makeup on Joe Robert one of the Male Models. It was great! He also did a bad-ass skull on Wes (Tina's Man)



Barton Giley did an awesome job on model Brian Roberts. He used a Foam latex appliance from CFX. http://www.compositeeffects.com/


Habiba White from owner of Salon Studios did a wonderful job on this project. She worked her butt off! Habiba did all of the Hair for the PBP. May I just say the hair was terrific! Thanks again Habiba!
I was extremely impressed with Habiba's work on my two models (Jen and Heather) for my female loch ness monsters. She twisted their hair in to this nasty nests of coolness!





Kaylynn Marie Photography continues to always impress me with her greatness she got some great shots!
This was model L. Alexander he was extreamly patient and a very good, hungry model! MUA: Me
This is Model Jen Leblanc (jagged Soul) Stunning as usual! MUA:ME!

Derick Hingle also participated he was so much fun. Derick typically does Sports photography for the Saint mostly! I have to say it was quiet an honor to work with him! He was a little shy at first but he warmed up to us! He got some really great shots too! Take a Look! you can view more of his work at:http://www.photoshelter.com/c/derickhingle







We Had a few others on our team I can't seem to find any Photos from them unfortunately. Hopefully I'll get some later to update!


Overall the PBP was a Huge Success! Hope fully we can have another in 2010!
