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

VOGUE it!

Summer's Play

Model: Kayla Cashman (my precious :P)

Make up: Lauren

Hair: Katherine

Photography: Pavithra (me)

About a year ago - April 22nd of 2011 - I photographed Kayla Cashman. I always think of her as my lucky charm because she was the first girl I shot an editorial with and we got it published: Heritage of Feathers in Racing Minds Magazine. It really feels like I have grown this past year. It is the first shot that got published in Vogue. Now I can say I got VOGUE-d! :] Here is the pictures and with the Vogue water mark (love!). 

Behind the Scenes: Georgie Photoshoot

Here are some quick behind the scenes pictures of todays photoshoot. Cant wait to share the behind the scenes video as well as the photos.

Warrior Princess

So today was a scary day for me. Not only was this my first shoot with a horse it was also the first time someone got hurt at the photoshoot. Everything was going great. The makeup and hair was coming along wonderfully, the designer brought some gorgeous dresses for the gorgeous model to wear and the horse was getting brushed ready for the shoot. As we move to the grass area we hear wind picking up, still everything was fine. And we get to this perfect location - trees all around, the greenest grass you could ever find, everything looking gorgeous. The model gets ready to go on the horse and all of a sudden the wind picks up as she is climbing on the horse and the horse decides to throw her over. She flips over the front of the horse and lands on the grass. I think one of the bravest models I have ever seen. I learned a lot today - nothing is predictable and even if everything is perfect you have to take small steps. And people's safety is first and foremost! Super glad to share that the model is doing great and she only suffered a sprain on her hand. Thank you chauntelle for being so brave! Models like you really show what this Industry is all about - strength and beauty! 

Avant Garde Photoshoot

These are the results from the Avant Garde styled shoot on Jan 7th, 2012. I had just returned from India a day earlier and it was nice to know that I was doing a shoot with wonderful artists from San Diego. Check out these pictures and cant wait to share them published in G.O.O.D.S Magazine.

A Wild Rose in the Garden: Part 2

I thought I would separate the two looks into two post. Here is look two designed by Carolina Cecena, a local San Diego designer. Enjoy and share your thoughts!

A Wild Rose in the Garden

This was a Photoshoot I did last month for a wonderful local designer: Carolina Cecena. The location wasn't set till the very last day. Carolina requested a flowery spot for her clothes but the only problem was that it was no longer spring and most of the blooms/flowers were dried up or gone. I began googling for flowers that have late blooms and came across only two: Bougainvillea and Roses. Found this wonderful garden in Downtown San Diego that made this shoot so much fun to work at. We had two gorgeous models: Beth and Waverly working the beautiful designs. And it was a breeze to shoot them. The only problem was that we were working in a public park and there were lots of tourists coming in our shots. And of course coming to ask us what we were doing (which is always fun!). Here is the first series of the final shots:

With Each Cup of Tea (cont'd)

I wanted to share more from the recent shoot. I enjoyed creating this shoot. Will share some behind the scenes shot to show you how hard the MUA and Designer worked. Thanks guys for a wonderful work. I think the result has turned out beautifully! The models were super gorgeous and the day and location was perfect for this shoot. :]

With Each Cup of Tea

I shot my third editorial couple weekends ago at a neighborhood close by. I have been passing this place for quite some time and watched the late bloom hit this summer. When I contacted the designer she requested a flowery place and this spot just fell in perfectly. Here are my favorite shots from this shoot. Please do share your thoughts and comments as they help me progress and learn this art better. Thank you for your kindness.
