Most first shoot was done on film. This is from my first model (in this case, defined as someone who I didn't know personally), Shiloh.

...which probably remains one of my favorite compositions of all time. But that could be the sentimental value thats attached to it to.

Not my first "shoot"--this was about 3 hours after I got my first camera, 10 years ago last week.  The scan sucks, but the photo makes me really happy.

My first ever photoshoot was for a clothing company called "Zaftique". I was so nervous and I left make-up school early that day to do it.

I believe this was the first image I ever sold to someone other than the model.  It was done about 18 years ago in one of the dance rooms at Casa del Prado in Balboa Park.  The girl was with a school I was shooting for and was about 14 or 15.  I can't remember where the boy came from.  I licensed it to some paperback publisher and delivered it as an 11x14 print, though I never did see the final use.

Looks like I've come full circle, huh?

From about a year ago - Her name is Brenda Camille, and she's a DJ who needed some promo shots done...
to be honest, I really don't think I've progressed much since then... (but photography is only a part-time diversion for me)

It was last year when I started shooting even though I tood photography classes 10 years earlier, ironic ha.  Never thought that at this time in my life people would be asking me for artistic advice.  My very first model was Nina Blaze and man did she ever set me off as an Urban Photographer.

I shot this around '94 - processed and printed it in the darkroom...I think I was about 16 or so at the time.  Wish I still had the negative & original print, this is a scan of a bad copy I found after I scrapped my portfolio a few years back.  Dumb move.

A 17 year old me... probably in late 1997. The photographer used film, and he did my make-up as well.... I joined a not so cool agency while living in Hawaii. They ripped me off, by '98 I was no longer interested and didn't care and my contract was thankfully up. I then got sucked back into taking pictures in late 2004 when a friend wanted me to take pics with her and some photographer she knew from a site called omp.

I think I saw them in 1902 as well, but I didn't get a shirt.
