Fashion/Editorial: Lori C. - Preview

   Here's a sneak peek from my recent shoot with stunning model,  Lori Cannon. I met Lori through the Steampunk and Chakra collections of designers Kelly Jones and Diane Corey, and Lori immediately connected with the 6:12 lens. Since that time, we've shot everything from high fashion to scary clowns, and she's been a part of both cycles of WERK the RUNWAY. She always shows such comfort and ease when she steps in front of the camera, and the photos that we create together are full of intensity.

Take a look at Lori with her new shaved hairstyle...

Introducing Dianna H.

Here's a look at the best portraits from my recent shoot with the beautiful Dianna H. during my visit to New York City / Rahway, NJ back in September. It was one of her first times in front of the camera, and she proved to be a natural. She has a future in the modeling industry, and I'm excited to see where it takes her.

Model, Eryn Carpenter

   For "WomanCrush Wednesday," take a look at some of the best portraits from my recent editorial/fashion shoot with model, Eryn Carpenter, featuring makeup artistry and hairstyling by MUA Missy Young.
   Eryn has a natural beauty about her, inside and out. The camera loves her, and she gives me 100% for every shot. It's her natural talent that has opened up the doors to some incredible opportunities in her modeling career --- signing with Eleven Model Management in Los Angeles, where she'll spend the spring before heading off to Europe this summer.
   Eryn is a huge encouragement to work with. As I'm looking through the lens and directing her for each look, it's so evident, "she was born for this." Modeling is in her blood, and I'm so excited to see where her modeling career takers her.

   Special thanks to MUA Missy Young for providing the hairstyling and makeup artistry for the shoot. Speaking of talent and opportunities, Missy was recently voted Makeup Artist of the Year for RAWArtists Atlanta/Georgia, and she will go on to compete at the National level. That's not all though, Missy was also one of the select few artists chosen to be part of Tyra Banks' BeautyTainer Team, out of thousands of artists who applied nationally. Missy and 6:12 Photography definitely have some big plans ahead for 2015 --- be sure to check out our upcoming "Werk the Runway" high fashion runway event on April 11th.

Snow Portraits with Model, Jonathan C. - Preview

East Tennessee (and many other parts of the country) saw plenty of snow, ice and frigid winter weather last weekend. I had the opportunity to go outside and do a photo shoot in the snow with local model, Jonathan. Even in temperatures around 10*F, Jonathan still helped create some incredible snow portraits.
