Fitter Than Your Mother

Here are some test images I shot for Wilhelmina Modelogic in Richmond. The model’s name is Lee Washington, amazing guy. This is probably the most “digital” shoot I have done in a really long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think my photography is taking a new direction with this. I’m going to concentrate [...]
Grace Jones, Is That You?

I recently shot a model test for a local designer. When the model walked in I was totally shocked as to how much she looked like the wonderful Grace Jones. If only it were her. HA! But, the model was great too.
MAKEOVER – TIM COBURN STYLE!

The top modeling agency in DC, The Artist Agency, came to me needing a real makeover on a cute 17 y/o girl. The owner of the agency wanted something updated for her hair and a look that would make her stand out. So of course I got my best hair and makekup talent, James Cornwell, [...]
Trees In The Urban Jungle

I was in NYC for a makeup shoot and of course I had to take a minute to visit some trees. Oh, how I love Central Park.
Ocean City Sunset… I Mean Evacuation

Being forced to cut your vacation short due to an evacuation isn’t fun. Silly hurricane. But, at least it was blessed with a beautiful sunset.
Basketball Shoot

Why am I always laying on the floor?? HA! This is a behind the scenes from the basketball shoot. See finished images here. Photo by Cedric Terrell
Expecting The Unexpected

Life works in funny ways sometimes. Just before this shoot, I got off the phone with a potential intern. We were having a conversation about the type of photography he is doing now, where he wants to go and what he wants to learn. At the moment, he’s shooting a lot of photojournalism for the [...]
From Lawyer To Designer

Sharron Levine of Adam Alexis used to be a corporate lawyer… until she travelled to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. She was so inspired by the traditional handmade bags from all over Central and South America that she decided to start her own line of bags. And at the same time she launched a line of hand [...]
Koshie O – Where Culture Meets Style

The Koshie O brand integrates African themes with modern designs. It’s a wonderful concept that has suited them well over the years. I had the pleasure of shooting their new advertising/editorial images for the Fall of ’11. Below are a few samples from the shoot. Stay tuned for more updates on their collection.
Til Death Do Us Part

My dad and his new wife. At first I was mad he made me shoot his wedding. He gave me no choice. But, after we got started I realized it was actually a lot of fun seeing moments I probably would have missed if I didn’t have on my “photographic eye.” Then, I felt lucky [...]
A Love Affair

I’ve decided that I’m in love in Colorado. Never thought I would be. When I was younger I pretty much hated nature. I found it boring. But the last 15 years I have really grown to love being out in the middle of nowhere. Every time I go to Colorado I find myself feeling sad [...]
Colorado Countryside

Beautiful yes. This is just a sample of what I saw while driving 5.5 hours to the Colorado countryside. More to come.
Washington Life Fashion Editorial Video (Spring, 2011)

Watch me shoot for the Spring 2011 issue of Washington Life. These videos always make me laugh. I love how left out the part where the police came and told us to stop shooting. We had to change out game plan a little bit. Oops!
It Always Rains In Hawaii

A snap shot I took in Hawaii with the Sony Nex5 16mm. It rained every day I was there. The landscapes are absolutely stunning and I couldn’t help but get snappy with the camera.
Cranberry Goodness – Finished Product

The finished product. Click here in case you missed the behind the scenes. Happy Holidays everyone! Here’s to 2011!
Cranberry Goodness

Behind the scenes from the Art Soiree Winter Wonderland shoot. Retouching was done THAT night and I was up until 4:30am! Check out the final images at this event. See you there!
Terry Richardson Shoots Like Me

This past weekend I did a shoot for PR At Partners and TIGI. We shot a series of people, Terry Richardson style. It was one of the most fun shoots I’ve had in a long time. Less concentration on the lighting/style of the shot and more on telling a story…or just being silly. I forget. [...]
Swimwear, Water and Mirrors

Found these behind the scene shots from the Belafigura shoot somewhere on my hard drive. I don’t think I ever shared these. What a messy shoot! But, as you’ll see from the final image… it was worth the mess.
Model Test: Nicoline

Just finished working with a hot new girl on the DC modeling scene, Nicoline von Finck. We did basic modeling headshots and a few body shots. Work honey!
DJ Neekola – New Look?

I have a whole new set of DJ Neekola images that are in retouching. This one was shot a year or two ago and was just used as a flyer. The new images are more artsy and edgy. Also, her hair is much darker with a sharp fringe. Stay tuned!
Love Making Curls

Love working with one James Cornwell. Curls… walked in to camera ready in 5 minutes. Yay! Now do the other side!!
