Welcome to Woodbridge

What do you get when you have two producers, one videographer, and one rap artist? One interesting shoot. I'm not even sure how this shoot came to be.. I just remember telling my boy I would show him how to work the Nikon D700... one hour later we have a full fledged photo shoot going lol. I feel we were able to capture some pretty creative pics.. take a look.

Tis The Season..

2009-11-27T08:04:00.000-08:00

The overall mission of this photo shoot was to capture a photo for my cousins holiday postcard. Shot-out to my cousin for selecting this awesome location over my idea of shooting in her sisters backyard (lol). I'm posting these pics against my cousins wishes... I just couldn't wait (lol)! Check them out!

I have to say, photography has been a fun ride since starting in May of this year. If you have been following my work then you have seen the many phases I have been through. These phases are good because they have allowed my own skills to emerge and steer me in a certain direction. Currently, I'm going through a natural light phase, which I'm considering focusing all my attention towards.

My short term goal with photography is to continue being a "weekend shooter". Yeah, it would be nice to immerse myself in the world of photography, but photography is not keeping my refrigerator on (lol).

The official web-page is coming soon.

DC Chillin..

Long day, but very fun times. Corinne is a clothing designer from Connecticut who was in the area for the weekend. This fellow Trojan (VSU!) is very talented at what she does and has a bright future ahead of her in the fashion industry. Take a look at a sample of her pieces and see for yourself!

Short Sleeves in November

75 degrees a week before Thanksgiving??? How could I not call up a shoot.. lol.

Jeneene is a very focused entrepreneur out of the DC area. We decided it would be a good look to take some quality pictures as a way to promote her brand. I feel we made out with a variety of cool pics during the hour of shooting. Good times.

Cool Pic from today's shoot.

Sorority Girls

2009-11-07T22:32:00.000-08:00

Today I had the pleasure of doing a photo shoot for the Nu Xi Zeta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority - serving Alexandria, Virgina. We had a great time during the 20 min of shooting.

Lifestyle Shoot

Snippets from the LeQuan Hylton lifestyle shoot.

Sulaiman Azimi

2009-11-01T15:11:00.000-08:00

Sulamiman is an up and coming recording artist in the DMV. We wanted to go for the fall look with this shoot and I feel we accomplished it. Fun shoot.

Rain or Shine

I could not wait to post these pics! I actually did this shoot an hour ago. I have to give thanks to Toya for hanging in there and allowing me to get creative. The shoot was for her, but ended up being more of a job for her then it was for me (lol). Anyway - take a look.

VA to Hollywood

2009-10-06T15:18:00.001-07:00

These pics were taken for up and coming actress Katrina Snow. We decided to shoot on the roof of her condo. Great location... I will be revisiting this site for another shoot lol.

Portrait

2009-09-27T15:15:00.000-07:00

I'm not a huge fan of shooting indoors, but there are plenty of cool styles you can execute with a simple backdrop. I like to add some edge to my indoor portraits. Nothing crazy, just a little "Alien Skin Exposure 2", and high pass filters (for all my photographers)..

2009-09-25T20:54:00.000-07:00

What started as a photo shoot to highlight "ME" studios, some how turned out to be a lifestyle shoot for super producer Marlon Beats. Marlon is a VERY talented producer in the DC area.. Look out for him in the very near future.

Studio Necessities

Did I tell you I love music?

The MOVEMENT!

2009-09-22T18:09:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite subjects to shoot is an artist by the name of "Fatso Skinny". Fatso & Tamika Jones are next up and will be a force to recon with! They came through around 12:00am on a work night, but I was good to go once the shoot got started.

Fun with PhotoShop

Random pics..

804 to 703

2009-09-20T07:05:00.000-07:00

Introducing the Almanac crew from Richmond. These guys were a TRIP! The only downside to the shoot was we didn't make it outside fast enough to take advantage of the natural light... but we were able to land some cool pics in the studio. Take a look..

Starbucks Who?

2009-09-19T20:43:00.001-07:00

Eight years ago a good friend of mine told me he was dropping out of college to open up his own franchise. We all thought he was crazy! Eight years later he owns 7 of his own Dunkin Donut shops around the D.C. area. Jerome Johnson is a true inspiration and example to all. The photo shoot only lasted 30min but we had a crazy time… see for yourself…

Adams Morgan Compilation

2009-09-13T14:41:00.000-07:00

Introducing Fatso Skinny, Tamika Jones and Wes Felton. Perfect day for a shoot - bad calculations when picking the location. We failed to realize in advance that Adams Morgan was having their festival, which brought huge crowds. Despite this set back we made the best of the shoot and had a great time.

The 4 mile shoot...

2009-09-12T20:52:00.000-07:00

I'm glad I was wearing my New Balance shoes today! Local rap artist FRAZE, and record label executive Greg Challoway, approached me about doing a photo shoot to promote FRAZE as an artist, and also to promote the label/clothing line "ME".

You will be able to tell by the pics that we were in "exclusive territory". At first I was a little skeptical about shooting off the highway (lol), but the pics turned out to be much better then I thought they would upon arriving to the location.
