One Shot Post

This year, we hope to do more creative editorial work. This is from a calendar shoot for Abiodun Koya, a Washington DC, based opera singer. Abby was fun and open to experimenting with different concepts including this dungeon like shot. The lighting and mood was perfect for the vision, so we rolled with it.

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!

February 2, 2010 - 6:35 pm TheycallmeSir - Hello Nafa. That picture of Abiodun is awesome! I would love to get do a shoot of myself similar to that one. What are your rates for something like that?

February 7, 2010 - 9:59 pm Angel Green - I would love to do an alter ego shoot for a wedding gift to my soon to be husband. Do you do that type of photograpy?

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
