Sept 22, 2011 I had a photo shoot with Amy Klewitz of Fem Bodiment. We walked around our neighbor hood, Greene Point, Brooklyn stopped and took photo' in front of anything we saw interesting. I'd say it was more of a hang out session and I just happened to be taking pictures, not to mention Amy lost her sandals that day too -  haha. Here are some of the photos taken from that day.


The following day I was the photographer for Free Your Star Foundations' first scholarship winner SHEAN!  I didn't think my set could get any better after shooting with Amy, but Shean and his team proved me wrong. We all met at Rachael's place to get ready and get aquatinted. At first I was a little worried since it was pouring down rain, but about an hour before Shean and his team had arrived it started to ease up on us, and where theres a will theres a way!



I wrapped my camera up in 2 grocery bags and first stop was the backyard where we had a really nice brick textured wall. Shean was born to do this, from the minute I held my camera up he stuck a new pose with every photo I took. He even falls into poses! Our second stop was down by the water, where we had graffiti walls, fences, and of course the water! We ended the day with some jumping poses, and then had the whole group join in. It was a very fun day!! Enjoy the photo, both Amy and Shean will be there :)
