More from my archives. My buddy Cara Basso. I love this woman. Photographed her many times editorial and advertising. Cara always showed up late but always ready. I never worried about it because she would always be there for me. As one person close to me said… when Cara walked in, all the air got sucked out of the room, all eyes were on her.
For the past months I have been working on my photo archives. Organizing, uploading to my searchable archive accessed through my website, uploading to my agencies for editorial and stock.
As I go through these photographs I thought I might share some at random, regardless of a theme or type. I have shot many genres. So here, a beautiful face. From March 2004 at a hotel in Irvine California. The camera was a Canon 1V, an all time favorite of mine, Kodak film and only natural light.

Certainly got my attention. I like this idea of wardrobe for a photo shoot. From the Facebook group Vamps and Flappers of the 1920’s, 1920’s, and early 1930’s.
“Actress Lorraine Marshall in the 1933 film “Footlight Parade”. Marshall was a bit actress and dancer in many pre-code film and early talkies, including “It’s Great To Be Alive” (1933) and “I’ve Got Your Number” (1934).
I have said it before, one of the most beautiful women I have ever photographed. And I have photographed her many times. My buddy Randalene Sergent. Makeup and hair styling by Natalie Lyle.
Model Aristodeme naked except for wrapped in papier doux. A day we spent shooting with many unusual props and ideas. Much fun! Hasselblad digital camera system and Broncolor lighting. Thanks!
I do not know how many times I photographed Randalene Sergent. I first photographed her for a feature in Iron Man Magazine for Bodybuilding.com. I remember being speechless, she was so breathtakingly beautiful as I looked through the camera. We became steadfast friends and I went on to photograph her for more magazine features, advertising, company promotions and fashion editorials. Makeup and hair styling in this photo shoot by another of my steadfast best buddies, Natalie Lyle.
