the newmans and my website update

Having friends who photograph well, or are professional models has been the secret to my portfolio looking like it does for the past few years. But this new series has me super excited like nothing else quite has. Ashley and Brian recently got married (and are repped by Elite/Chosen), and she got a new NYC haircut and wanted to shoot while she was in Chicago for a few days. It was fantastic to see Ashley so happy. We've known each other since college and we've both been through rough patches and for her to get hitched to such a great man is so perfect. She's a great example of how a model can be a truly interesting and compelling person with tons of charisma, not just a pretty mannequin with no story.

Anyways, I took the shots and printed up a nice handmade book of the images. The first printing didn't go quite as I planned (there will be round 2) but this is what It should look like in the end. (the last image is the front and back cover, folded down the middle)
