I’ve been waiting to work with Mary Catey for about six months. This girl quite busy and with this kind of look and versatility it is easy to see why. Mary Catey can go from sweet and innocent to naughty vixen in the blink of an eye and has an incredible gift of expression with those piercing blue eyes.

For those technically inclined, this series was lit with 2 300ws strobes fired with 1 shoot thru and 1 reflective umbrella for just the right kind of contrast. I was able to get the white background on just those two lights.

One of the advantages of shooting outdoors it that there is always an interesting backdrop to be had here in New Mexico, even in the late fall, early winter.

These are pulled from a photoshoot I did several weeks back. Josh was a good sport and despite the fact that the wind was pretty chilly (for us New Mexicans), he did great. I look forward to hooking up with Josh again for some indoorsy type of work.

Working with Diana, a local model and actress has been a great experience. She is expressive, funny and very versatile with a number of different styles, looks and concepts.

Not only can she do a flawless impression of Oprah Winfrey (as Sophia in the Color Purple) “you told Harpo to beat me!!!” (it was really funny, maybe you just had to be there), but she has a bag chock full of wigs, props and accessories that just beg to be worked with.

These images are from what I call her “funky cool” set.
