The Original Gata – Monique Dupree

Jay — Sat, 21 May 2011 14:54:55 +0000

This shoot, in December 2010, was two years in the making. I first met The Original Gata – Monique Dupree at a Suite Abyss party, several years ago. I was taking candid photos of everyone at the event, capturing all the wonderful attire. It was a crowded party, in a small venue, which made it [...]

Magic at the Beach

Jay — Sun, 08 May 2011 18:09:31 +0000

Evenings at the ocean provide one of the most beautiful backgrounds to shoot. Swimsuit, implied and full nudes take on a special quality when shot on the beach. Early morning or early evening provide unmatched lighting.

More Cigar…Literally!

Jay — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:15:51 +0000

Cigar and I’ve been waiting for a warm day before we set up another shoot. The warm weather arrived this weekend, so Saturday morning we headed off to a local state park. She brought her suitcase, only this time, it was filled with maternity outfits. Our goal was to shoot some expectant mommy pics. The [...]

Leah

I recently did a shoot with Leah, a singer, who is currently producing her first CD. The theme for the shoot was “Bad Girl”. She had planned for two looks. The first was the bad Bad Girl. Wardrobe consisted of a pair of tight, curvy, thread bare jeans, black jacket, hat, very sexy open toe [...]

Sanova

Yesterday afternoon I shot with Sanova, a friend of Kayan’s. They arrived mid- afternoon and she decided to start with implied nudes, then take care of makeup before shooting two different fashion looks. I set the lights up for direct rim while she sorted out how to drape herself in the sheer bright orange fabric [...]

West Indian American Day Parade

Jay — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:23:01 +0000

Labor Day is home to New York’s West Indian Day Parade. This was my first time to attend, so I arranged to meet Kay at the parade on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn in the afternoon. Expecting Brooklyn to be overrun with parade goers, I packed lightly, just the camera and one spare battery. When I [...]

C’igar…she’s smokin

Jay — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:29:36 +0000

Serendipity! You just never know when she is around the corner. This past week, I’ve been playing ModelMayhem tag with a local model. We had agreed to an evening shoot, and yesterday I found my evening suddenly open up. I sent her a quick note, not thinking she would get it, but I guess those [...]

Jaz at seven months

Jay — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:18:01 +0000

I think I have been waiting since forever to shoot a pregnancy. Last weekend, the wait finally ended. Jaz, her sister and I met and drove to the studio. They got her hair and makeup done while I finished setting up the lighting. We started off easy with a white men’s dress shirt shot against [...]

Anomalia’s Pad

Jay — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 01:25:04 +0000

Did a first shoot in the spare room at Anomalia’s apartment. Not as wide, but deeper than my basement studio. 9 ft ceilings will mean I can shoot taller models in more statuesque poses. I hung a single black background in the corner of the room. Two portable lights set about 1/16th power were about [...]

Second shoot with Kayan-Part 2

Jay — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:45:33 +0000

We met up around 11:30 and headed across 34th to the Hudson River. We stopped to shoot an old couch that was on the sidewalk and then started walking south from there. The sun was very cooperative, so we didn’t have too many issues with deep shadows and overly bright lighting. We shot several different [...]

Second Shoot with Kayan – Part 1

Jay — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:56:12 +0000

Today promises to be fun. Weather forcast calling for occasional thunder storms, although at 10 AM it’s mostly overcast with patches of sun and shade, and the humidity above 90%. Kayan and I are heading down to the Meat packing district in NYC to see that we find. No real images in mind, fashion casual [...]

Suspension Shoot with Anomalia

Jay — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:49:07 +0000

This was an interesting first suspension shoot. To prepare, I cleared a space in the garage, visited the hardware store for the block and tackle, rope, and everything else needed to set up some basic suspension. I then bolted a 2×4 to the ceiling rafters, and loaded it with about 300 pounds for [...]
