Umoya in light.... editorial work in New York

Margot in the city

instagram.com/film.grain - Fashion black and white from when I first came to NY .... I was wet behind the ears with a canon 40d, a 50mm 1.8 lens, and a hunger for what the world had.... I had such a bad initial trip here, but I never let that stop me....  little would I know that those were some of the easiest hurdles to overcome... this is my art...

Natural hair, natural woman..... Shot in NYC before she was on Project Runway ... the homie Janine 

Studio black and whites in the city..

instagram.com.film.grain - This is me in my studio element... I love black and white images and the power they bring.... This is really in my element... I used to shoot exclusively black and white... I honestly dream in black and white..is that crazy? Anyhow.... this was from one of my favorite series that I shot ... there is so much energy in this.. What do you see?

Thoughts of the past or visions of the future.... Margot in May ...  with the dream team.... something about this is powerful and beautiful to me. I shot this very raw and imperfect in an attempt to make the emotion the focus of the image..... They say film is not dead.....
