My Model Wish List Collection | August 2013 - July 2014

Here's a collection of models on My Model Wish List since August of last year.  I've worked with a few of them before and hope to work the the rest of them at some point.

My Model Wish List - Bianca Balti

I used to post something to My Model Wish List once a week, but I've been so busy lately I haven't had a chance to keep up with it.  Anyway, the person being added to the list this week is the beautiful Italian model Bianca Balti.  She's been in numerous publications such like Vogue and Esquire and was featured in Playboy France back in 2009 and is currently in the June/July Issue of Playboy US.

Fall In Lust

My beautiful friend and amazing model Gabriella just launched her new website www.fallinlust.com.  If you like great photography and appreciate beauty then you should definitely check out her site.  Gaby and I have shot a few times and have become great friends over the years and I'm really happy to see her website come to life because I know how much work she's put into it.  Check it out!

Photographer Spotlight - Julia Skalozub

Julia Skalozub is a Czech photographer that has shot for numerous publications worldwide, most notably Playboy, Volo and FotoVideo.  I first saw her work on the photography portfolio website 500.px and was really into it.  I would love to be able shoot at her level and work with the magazines she produces content for on a regular basis.

From the Archives - Eufrat

I was just browsing through some old photos, this is a shot of czech model Jana Potyšová, better known by her porn name Eufrat.  She was the second model I ever shot and have since shot with her numerous times.  She's a great model, an extremely cool girl and an awesome friend.

My Model Wish List - Constance Jablonski

The latest addition to My Model Wish List is French model Constance Jablonski.  Since starting her modeling career in 2006 she's done campaigns for Victoria's Secret, Estée Lauder, Ralph Lauren, Fendi, Dolce & Gabbana, H&M, Gap, Calvin Klein, Barney's, Nine West, and many more major fashion brands.  She's also been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, Vanity Fair, V, and Revue de Modes.

My Model Wish List - Padma Lakshmi

It's been awhile since I've posted anything on the blog, I've been out of town working for the past few weeks and will post something about that soon.  In the meantime I wanted to add the beautiful and talented Indian born model, actress, chef, author and television host Padma Lakshmi to My Model Wish List.  At 43 years of age, she's smoking hot and is keeping busy writing cookbooks while at the same time hosting Top Chef and modeling for ad campaigns.  Being from India she has the exotic look and being a polyglot (she speaks English, Italian, Spanish, Tamil, and Hindi) adds to her sex appeal, on top of that she doesn't try to cover up her scar which gives her the bad ass element as well.  She's been featured in publications like Playboy and shot with top photographers like Helmut Newton.  Padma has always been on my model wish list and will hopefully be someone I can photograph at some point in time.

From the Archives - 01.27.2013

Here's another shot of the beautiful Eufrat that was taken in late 2011.  This was edited by my good friends at Tuco Studio in Argentina.

From the Archives - 01.13.2014

I was just browsing through one of my drives and saw these random pictures of Jana a.k.a. Eufrat that I never published anywhere.  This shoot took place in March of 2011.

Barbarian - City of Women

My friends in the San Diego based band Barbarian used one of my photos on their debut album.  This was a shot taken during my very first photo shoot, the model is Brynn Cook.

Things to Come

Well I've managed to get myself stranded in Argentina for an additional week, but that's not a bad thing.  With this extra time here I was able to spend time collaborating with my good friends Tomy and Pali from Tuco Studios.  We met the last time I was in Buenos Aires back in 2011 and have been talking about trying to work on some stuff together ever since.  We have some cool new projects in the works and the other night I was hanging out with Tomy and he started bring new life to some photos I took awhile back and have done much with.  Here's a sample of what's to come, the model is the beautiful Eufrat from Prague and the shoot took place in Los Angeles back in 2011.

Photographer Spotlight - Jorge Aragon

I've been hanging out in Argentina for about 2 weeks now and even though this is my fifth time here I've been discovering and experiencing a lot of new things that I hadn't in previous trips.  Each time I come here I stay for a few weeks to a month.  During this particular trip I've been exploring the photography and fashion elements of this amazing city.  So far since I've been here I've befriended some amazing photographers, producers and stylists and have had the good fortune of meeting and hanging out with Jorge Aragon.  Jorge is a Colombian born, Argentina based photographer that I've been following for quite awhile and have been friends with on Facebook for a year or two.  Prior to this trip we had never met in person, but yesterday we were finally able to get together and he's been introducing me to a number of great contacts in the industry here, I hope to repay the gesture next time he's in LA.  He and the models have all been so cool and receptive and I really appreciate the kindness and willingness to help me get acquainted with the key players in the Buenos Aires photography and fashion scene.  Jorge is a very versatile shooting everything from products to high fashion.  I find his work inspiring and he's definitely one of my favorite photographers in Buenos Aires which is why I want to include him in my Photographer Spotlight series.

From the Archives - Danielle Trixie

I haven't posted anything on the blog in awhile so here's an old shot from the archives of Playboy/Penthouse/Hustler model Danielle Trixie.  I did a quick shoot with her at her place in Dallas, TX a few years ago when I was passing through town.  This was probably the fourth or fifth photo shoot I had ever done.  This photo is far from those you'd find in Penthouse or Hustler and as usual there are no touchups.

My Model Wish List - Mona Johannesson

Mona Johannsesson is a Swedish model that I wasn't too familiar with, but stumbled upon her this morning while looking for new models to add to My Model Wish List.   She's done a lot of work for Vogue, JC Penny, J. Crew and other brands.  I think she looks amazing and would love to have an opportunity to work with her someday.

Lady Gaga Poses Nude for V Magainze

I've never really been a fan of Lady Gaga, but she definitely explores a lot of creative endeavors and has been really successful, so good for her.  Here are some photos of Lady Gaga getting naked for a recent project photographed by Inez & Vinoodh for V Magazine.

My Model Wish List - Gabriella

Gabriella is another model that I've worked with on a few occasions, but she's such a fantastic model and friend that she has a permanent place on My Model Wish List.   I first met her back in April of 2011 and at that point she was the third model I had ever shot.  She's based in Budapest, Hungary, but works all over the world and recently appeared on the Playboy website.  I always look forward to seeing her new photo sets and can't wait to work with her again.  If you're on Facebook you can follow her at www.facebook.com/GabriellaTheModel.  I'm hoping to work with her and Katey, another Budapest based model on My Model Wish List, sometime early next year.

Here is some of my past work with Gabriella www.steveslefteye.com/#/gabriella
