My Website Photoshoot with Photographer Thomas Dodd. Makeup by Nneka & Club Pictures

This post is long overdue, (insert big smile...) & it's been a while since I had personal pics up. A lot of you have noticed my new header. or via twitter or facebook.

My picture was taken by a photographer in Atlanta, called Thomas Dodd. At first I was going to do a header that was more burlesque, photoshopped & more of a magazine look. While looking for Atlanta photographer I came across Thomas Dodd & loved the way some of his images are a bit dark, surreal & from a different period. Then I merged the idea with the theme I was thinking of, and let him do his magic. His work varies, and is really different, so I wasn't  exactly sure how the results would be, so along the way I got some cool pictures out of the process. 

these are 2 of his styles I like, the first is my favorite!! he's work is beautiful and continues to change, and he's a really nice guy. (you should see it live in canvas!! amazing)

DAY OF PHOTOSHOOT


My makeup & hair (weave & styling) was done by Nneka, who's one of atlanta's best makeup artists, does fab hair and also happens to be my cousin.

& these are some behind the the scenes, most you havent seen before:

Thanks to everyone on facebook that helped me vote for my header!!!it truly meant a lot. 

& the design was done by me & Ola. and he put the twitter thing in it, and came of with the font.
so the finale of my header is what you see now.

Anyways after a long days work, I took my ass partying with ma girls at Eros (yeah they're my girls from Miami), then went partying with the guys at Primal.

Pictures at Eros with Nneka, , Nk (cynthia), Danielle, Dominique:

 

omg the bang bang shrimp @ Eros Tapas Atlanta was the bomb!

When we were done. decided I still wanted to party so headed out to party with Shaun (not in pics) & Hugo.

Primal is huge, tons of rooms, people arent even aware that there's a section outside:

 

ha ha we were laughing cuz I kept taking pictures and deleting them cuz I looked like crap in all of them and sweaty!!  finally ones decent:

I had soo..... much fun that day & night, even though the rain tried to ruin the shoot, it came out well. I partied with ma people & had a blast. Goodbye Summer. I'll miss you!

After this whole experience I've realized that sometimes you have to be clear on what you want, especially if you have a vision in your head, and it might be different from what a creative expert might prefer, and it's hard to find a balance between getting what you want and not pissing people off & keeping everyone happy. It was a lovely experience, and these are all great people to work with, that will take your ideas into consideration, and work with you, revision after revision with patience
