Velvet Lenae- In front of the lens!

Posted on Updated on

What started as a joke, turned into reality.  This was Corey’s (Corey Wendell Photography) chance to take advantage of an opportunity from this Facebook joke of doing a beauty shoot w/me.  He’d been asking to shoot me for quite some time now.  I finally gave in and agreed to do a beauty shoot.  What did I get myself into?

In the month of April 2014, I went to Cory Nellon’s studio (Da Playhouse Studio) and met with Corey W and Yolanda (ID Beauti Makeup Artistry), who was doing my makeup.  You see, this was a unique experience for me.  Not only was I not a fan of being in front of the camera, but I also never had a professional makeover.  Not sure why, but I’ve always ran away from makeup.

There was no turning back  now.  The fun had begun.  I could not stop laughing.  Sorry Yolanda for giving you such a hard time with my non stop laughter, while  you applied my makeup.  I think it was the nervousness of everything that was getting to me.  After getting through all of the laughing, Corey captured my top image from each look Yolanda created.

The Experience- A Note to my Clients

As much as I reject being in front of the camera, I’m glad that I had the experience.  I understand how you all feel when preparing for a photo shoot.  I understand being nervous.  I understand being self conscious.  I understand freezing up and not knowing what to do.  I understand having to let go of control (hardest part for me).  At the end of it all, I finally understand giving my photographer complete trust, resulting in these beautiful images!

It’s definitely weird when I look at these images.  It doesn’t even seem like I’m looking at myself.  This was an amazing experience and I’m glad that I had the opportunity to have a relate-able client experience.

Thank you so much Corey W., Yolanda and Cory N. for putting up with me and creating a fabulous experience.

I was The Client for You!

Androgynous with Model Chantrelle

Posted on

Androgynous- suitable to or for either sex

I loved Chantrelle’s look from first sight.  I’ve been interested in a project including an androgynous look for a little while now and when I saw Chantrelle, I thought she would be the perfect fit.  I was right because she did an amazing job and she completely embodied the true definition of Androgyny.

A.C.T.S. Of Kindness

Posted on Updated on

A.C.T.S. of Kindness

A– Action   C– Caring   T– Transparent   S– Selfless

A.C.T.S. OF Kindness was created in order to highlight individuals and/or organizations that are carrying out Acts of Kindness in various ways.  I am looking for individuals, organizations and programs that are giving back to our communities.  I want to display philanthropist acts through my photography.  This would include taking a picture of participants, which will display name and a brief description of what that person/organization does.  Some photo shoots may include capturing moments of the act of philanthropy as well. I will be following the individuals and organizations journeys periodically and keeping you abreast of their continuous Acts of Kindness in a newsletter. Check out our first spotlight on Velvet Lenae Website.
