Jaidan - Disco Beauty Shots

This shoot with Jaidan was taken January 2nd 2023. Since it was the first shoot of the year I thought I’d put something cool together. It took some time to create the set but I think it was worth it. She killed it. The vibrant images and the monochrome images came out great.

Ayla - Mask

Sorry, I thought I posted this set months ago. This set of images were taken May 29th at HTX Studio 409. What do I do when I get beautiful facial features, long silky hair and damn near flawless skin? I cover it with a black lace mask. I knew Ayla would be a perfect candidate for my mask series. She’s very glamorous and captivating. For this lighting set up, a Godox SK400II with a 33” Octagon softbox was used with a 67” x 24” clamshell reflector to light her under her chin.
