Photographer Spotlight - Charles Lucima
Charles Lucima has been in my Photographer Spotlight since I first started shooting models. I think I first stumbled upon his work on Model Mayhem and he was one of the few photographers on that site that actually had truly professional work in his portfolio. There are a lot of photographers on there that list themselves as "very experienced" but don't have the work to back up that statement, Charles is not one of them. His work is always shot beautifully and elegantly, everything he shoots really is a work of art. He works with amazing models and captures them in just the right way. I would love to just be on location with him when he's shooting because I know I would learn a lot.
You can check out some of his work below as well as a recent video shot my Chris Vongsawat during a shoot Charles was doing with model Kate Compton for Treats! Magazine. The video looks great, but I'm really not a fan of the music selection.

My Model Wish List - Katey
Yesterday I started a new blog series called "Music of the Moment" and today I'm starting "My Model Wish List" which will show models I've met or stumbled upon online that I would really like to work with. Kicking off this series is the beautiful Katey, an incredible model from Budapest, Hungary that I've been wanting to work with for quite awhile. I was first introduced to Katey through Gabriella, another amazing Hungarian model that I've worked with a few times and have become good friends with. If you have a moment you should follow Gabriella on Facebook, Model Mayhem and her website to get updates on where she's working in case you'd like to shoot with her.
Katey and I have been talking for quite some time about trying to shoot. I've actually been wanting to go to Budapest to shoot with her and Gabriella and to learn a thing or two from some of the amazing photographers (Norbert Baksa and Peter Juhasz) they work with in Europe. Aside from that I've been wanting to do a road trip through Eastern Europe to check out all the historical sites, especially Castle Dracula in Transylvania. Anyway, Katey is trying to plan a trip to the US early next year. I think it would be a great opportunity for her and for any photographers wanting to work with a truly professional model. If you or anyone you know is interested you can check out her travel notice.
