INDIA FESTIVAL

CATALOGUE, KALI KLEAVER

Kali Kleaver is a great Professional Model from Lawrence, Kansas.  This set was done using a Greenscreen and shot entirely indoors.  She's great at acting the part and nailing the idea. She had to imagine she was deep in the woods, and her expressions made the shoot.

THE ROMA ; GYPSIES

COURTNIE MARIE ROSS

Highly suggest working with Courtnie.  She's really good at posing and is very relaxed. She knows how she appears to the camera, that's a real advantage in Fashion work.

HELL ON WHEELS TOUR W/ KIP MOORE AND BRANTLEY GILBERT

AURELIEN COLLIN'S AC78 COLLECTION DEBUT

"As a young man, I grew up in a suburb of Paris with the American Dream. I was always amazed by how stars were dressed and how in Paris this was a state of mind. My Mother would buy fashion magazines like Elle and Vogue and I would study the clothing and how to style clothing."                                 - Aurelien Collin.

THE NELSON ATKINS MUSEUM OF ART

The Nelson Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City has some spectacular and authentic rooms from the 19th Century.  One of my favorite buildings in the city, I could spend days walking through the massive rooms and halls. 

TEXTURE STUDY

Textures are fun, rust, old and crumbling paint. Hopefully this set will end up in a stock photo collection.

EVIL PAWN JEWELRY : WHITE WEDDING

This is a preview from our most recent shoot with Evil Pawn Jewelry out of Kansas City. It was an amazing day, more than 10 models, 3 makeup artists and assistants on a farm outside the city.  It was partly cloudy, which fit the mood and feeling of the idea. All the models did really well at remembering they were showing off jewelry, and posed accordingly. Couldn't have been happier with the models Evil Pawn had picked. Check out the amazing jewelry at Evil Pawn.        

OLD CITY : BLVD. DRIVE-IN

Boulevard Drive-In,  Kansas City.  Every year, a giant hot rod car show takes place at the retro drive-in called Greaserama. Car show by day, and old movies at night.  A light rain gave me a great opportunity to capture a retro image.......hot rods in front of a drive in screen gave it a real natural feel and reminded me of the famous drive in scene from the film "Outsiders".

FASHION : ENVOLVE BOUTIQUE

These advertising images were captured during America's Next Top Model showcase in Kansas City.  Envolve Boutique provided the looks and models, and 81sikc was asked to do the shots. Great Day, these shoots were followed by a full fashion runway show at Power and Light district.

MODEL : JESS

Jess is a great model from Kansas City, Kansas.  We spent a full day working on some portfolio shots for her budding career. She needed some fashion and lifestyle shots to show off her posing and figure. She was great and had a good sense of her posing and how it would look from my side of the camera. Sky is the limit for this stunning model.

JUNK YARD

I often stop and shoot photos if I notice something worthwhile to shoot! This giant salvage yard in the East Bottoms, Kansas City is just miles and miles of junked and rusty cars. Great opportunity for capturing textures and faded colors.
