The White Princess for Jute Magazine

So happy to say, after a long pause, I am back in full swing. Here is an editorial I shot in October for December issue of Jute Magazine. The reason this shoot came through was for the location. Its an old watch tower near Dana Point on Victoria Beach-Laguna Beach. It makes for a great castle feel and gives a romantic look. I love capturing such beautiful architecture and tell a story with it. Here is my story of a young princess who is going to be the White Queen.  The White Queen is a major part of the book: Alice in Wonderland. Here I made the character more of a younger version. Check out the editorial on the link and please do share your thoughts. 

Thank you

Behind the Scenes: White Princess Photoshoot

Today, I spent a lot of time driving to this location and setting up the shoot. Lot of things had gone wrong initially and the shoot was a little uncertain because of everyones travel time. But in the end I am so glad it happened so well. All the uncertainty went away when I saw the designer and make up had already started. Basically, it was all about the location and and the climate around it. Here is the behind the scenes look - pictures from designers and make up artists instagrams:

Smell the flowers



Vogue'd Uno Mas! 
Its always wonderful being recognized in Vogue Italia. Here is another one of my shots that was approved. check out the look...eeks...excitement! I hope to keep pursuing this journey. no matter what the bumps and holes I have to cross over. I really hope you as an audience understand that a Photographer doesn't just mean taking pictures because you own a camera and you know the technique of proper lighting. Its about expression. A visual personality. Its about color. The feel. I love this capture and it is one of my favorite shoots thus far. Especially because we got to play with bunnies.
