Judah Avenue Photography bio picture

Welcome to JudahAvenue Blog!

 

Now that you are finally here, the party can start!

This blog is an opportunity for me to share with you the pictures that I create. I love photography and I'm always looking forward to shooting fun people and taking on new and exciting projects. My style is vibrant, fresh and uninhibited, the pictures are mostly taken with natural light and I strive to capture the beauty of life in all my photos. All editing is done in house. Bookmark this blog, stop by often and leave a comment if you like something. Thanks for coming.

Enjoy,

~Nafa

Glam Bam! She is almost 40, SUPRISE!!

I had the privilage of shooting her suprise party and was blown away by how young she looks on her 39th birthday. My photographer’s instincts couldn’t resist putting her next to a piano and taking a few shots. I just had to share this beautiful shot.

The One shot post -Alter Ego

I have been so incredibly busy lately I haven’t been able to post any new pictures. Next week most of the bustle will be over. I want to leave you with this Alter Ego Post of Abiodun, a classical lyric soprano opera singer. Hearing her sing “the phantom of the opera” will give you some gooosebumps. This shot was unplanned, I got the inspiration while she was getting ready for a shoot we did recently for her 2010 calendar. In this picture she is both the diva and the make-up artist. I have been told that many Broadway artists do their own make-up so it ties in with our picture story. I will post more pictures later. Enjoy!

When a man loves a woman, and a car…DC/MD/VA new car and alter ego photoshoot

Mindy and Steve were a delight to shoot, the car, whoaa that machine is sweet! I don’t know if Mindy will agree with me though. This is the same car that was in the new Transformers movie, we got a lot of attention during this shoot, everywhere we went people wanted to stop and chat about the car. We literally had to rush through the alter ego shoot because the station manager wanted us out lol.

Disclaimer this is not an engagement shoot. The artist playing is La Roux, a UK artist about to hit it big on the music scene in the United States, read more about her at www.barkbiteblog.com

Hello, Washington DC! Jason Wu debuts Spring 2010 at Neiman Marcus

..and Judah Avenue was there to capture the entire event from backstage to runway, look out for our pictures in Fashion BS and Svelte TV productions for Neiman Marcus. Aside from shooting the event, I got to meet the 26 year-old designer of Michelle Obama’s inagural gown and heard him talk about growing up in Taiwan and his sudden rise to fame. Watch out for his exclusive interview with Fashion BS. For those who aren’t too familiar with the name, remember the elegant white creation the First Lady soireed in? This is the man behind that dreamlike dress. Welcome to DC Jason!
