Please no "drive-by" friends requests... If you don't have the time to leave a pic comment or a tag - i don't have the time to add you as friends... Just setting up shop. So not much to see here... yet. I make my living in photography, and run my own business shooting youth sports. That is my day job... for the last six long years. I was asked to take some shots for a friend's portfolio, and was pleasantly surprised by the results. This was in March of '08, so i've only been at it a little while... Definitely different from what i get to shoot for a living. Looking to expand my portfolio, and collaborate with some great models and MUA's. Currently learning retouching. All the shots in my portfolio have absolutely zero retouch. So, be warned... (update: the shots with the red logo have been at least somewhat touched up... not a real retouch, but at least it's something) for booking inquiries, please



Greg Price - owner of Studio 212 and organizer of glamour101 workshops (www.glamour101.com). Without these workshops, and this studio, my port would remain empty....

Here the first model from Glamour101 her name is Shinelle and she's been modeling for the past 4 years.

Her focus is mostly in commercial print, artistic nudes (done tastefully), swimwear, lingerie, etc. I am looking to work with up-and-coming designers, stylist & photographers to develop my portfolio and establish more network contacts.

you can contact her.

serious inquiries ONLY.

Include the following details: Full name, compensation, phone number, email contact, details of the assignment and PLEASE be very specific, referrals from models if available, etc. Then my management team and I will go over the assignment and get back to you in a prompt and professional manner.

the bay's boss lady Tequila


ARTISTPR. COM WROTE

Once hushed whispers from California’s Bay Area are now becoming booming roars across the world over female Hip-Hop/R&B recording artist TEQUILA, whom some are calling the next big thing in female hip hop. TEQUILA’s voice has been praised as a cross between Macy Gray, Da Brat, Erykah Badu, E40, and Keak Da Sneak, and combined with her powerful swagga, jazzy hooks, confident ad libs, smooth flow, and unique delivery, some have likened Tequila as the next Lauren Hil. Soaring through west coast radio waves and beyond, Tequila’s artistic flare and infectious tracks are giving whiplash to DJ’s spinning her records again and again!

Born in Berkeley, California and raised in Oakland, TEQUILA’s popularity is growing daily as she has gone over 1 million myspace plays in the ultra competitive social community. She is routinely in the Top 10 most viewed and played artists and her support has been global. This support only further enhances the notion that TEQUILA’s musical innovation has struck a resonating chord with listeners, and that she is riding on the essential sound vein of youth culture.

Her new smash singles “Hyphy Girl,” and “Tequila” featuring Mike Marshall formerly of Timex Social Club (Rumors), and The Luniz (I Got Five On It) fame, are getting ample airplay worldwide, and her voice can be heard spanning across a wide musical spectrum from rock, to reggae, to old school, and hip hop! In addition, “Go Dumb Girl” the single recently released by Liferdef/Universal Records “Hyphy Movement” album by DJ King Assassin was burning the radio airwaves from California to Florida. The song featured Tequila and DJ King Assassin, and the duo attacked listeners with musical ecstasy

Tequila has already shared the stage with the likes of Too Short, Keak Da Sneak, Andre Nickatina, Assassin, Tech9ne, Pitbull, and Turf Talk. She is a voracious triple threat as a singer, rapper, and writer who projects a silky-sassy persona that is taking the industry by storm and causing other influential industry giants to seek her out. Since her singing debut in her father’s church as a child, TEQUILA’s musical talents have diversified and evolved her into an once-in-a-lifetime artist ordained for greatness. The melodic waves of hype surrounding this distinct female artist have only begun to grow, already giving rise to a Bay Area phenomenon and some serious buzz throughout the globe. TEQUILA is igniting the flames of unheard creativity, ushering in a new generation of female R&B and Hip-Hop that will have the name TEQUILA percolating on the tips of every DJ and fan plugged into the musical pulse of this world.

In my life I have seen it all. If God came down and granted me one wish, I would wish to find happiness and hold on to it forever and take it with me to my grave. All the money in the world, all the glitz and glamor of fame, could never amount to the joy that I feel when I am happy. I would give it all up; money, fame, success, in a second for the only thing in life that truly matters to me.....love. People tend to throw that word around loosely and amidst all the hustles and bustles of life....we forget how beautiful love really is. Life is not worth living without love and happiness. Love heals all. Love is a mysterious and powerful force that is the key to all that is...and all that ever was. With that said.....I have a heart inside of me that is ready to explode. I have suppressed my desires to love for so long that I feel my heart cannot retain this anymore. I am no longer afraid to admit that I am a hopeless romantic and all I want to do is fall in love, and be in love for the rest of my dying days. I was given one life to live and that is exactly what I plan on doing......living my life to the fullest! Filling it with positive things and doing my best to heal those who are also lost and broken....just as I once was. There is always enough room for love and hope in everyone's life. You just have to have faith that it is there........you don't have to search for love when love has always been searching for you all this time. Love, Tila.

"Tila Nguyen was 1 year old when she moved to the U.S. from Singapore, but she's Vietnamese by heritage and blond by choice. As for what she does for a living, there isn't really a word for it yet. Nguyen, who goes by Tila Tequila professionally, is some combination of rapper, singer, model, blogger and actress. But what she mostly is is the queen of the massive social-networking website MySpace..." - Time Magazine

Carmen Jaimes Aldave was born in Lima, PerĂ¹ in 1982. She was just 10 years old when she emigrated to Rome. As a youth, Carmen spent a lot of her time travelling and assimilating different cultures. She grew up heavily influenced by Latino-American and Italian culture. At 18 years old she went to New York. She learned the blueprint of the hip-hop business and quickly discovered the art of organizing quality performances,
concerts, and all audiovisual events. She was inspired by that atmosphere and decided to study Fine Arts at the Department at RomaTre University
