J-Woww by Perfect Tan Bikini

Joey — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:12:28 +0000

In mid-December, I was back in the sand to shoot Jenni Farley, A.K.A. – J-Woww (from the MTV show, ‘Jersey Shore’) in her new bikini line on the beautiful beaches of Key Biscayne, FL. J-Woww by Perfect Tan Bikini is a truly one-of-a-kind design which allows you to achieve the ‘Perfect Tan’ (hence the name) by removing the bikini straps while your top stays securely in place. “How does it work,” you ask? Simple, the top is lined with a special Velcro which clings to your chest-fro… totally kidding. The bikinis are actually lined with a water-resistant double-sided silicone adhesive. Pretty clever, huh?

Scroll below to check out a handful of photos from my shoot along with some press links and a video from Inside Edition. A special thanks goes out to The South Florida Glam Squad for doing another great job with hair & makeup!

Tropic Beauty 2012 Calendar

Joey — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 17:00:40 +0000

I hope everyone had a great Christmas! As we get ready to enter a new year, I’d like to give you a sneak peak at the Tropic Beauty 2012 Calendar which I shot back in August. It’s now available for purchase so if you happen to be in Las Vegas and sober enough to remember, look for a copy on store shelves in The Mirage, The MGM Grand or The Monte Carlo. You can also order a copy directly from the Tropic Beauty website.

The cover features Trashell Thompson followed by Miss January–Janet Layug and Miss February–Dessie Mitcheson who was recently introduced as the new face of Playboy Intimates. This is just a sample of the 20 girls featured in the full calendar.

Here’s another set from my last Miami trip featuring Ella Mashkautzen – Elite Miami. After checking out the photos, scroll to the bottom of the post to find my fun-filled schedule from that weekend in South Florida. It’s probably not as glamorous as you might have imagined…

Feature Article in ‘Light It Magazine’ Issue #2

Joey — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 15:52:40 +0000

Light It: The How-To Magazine for Studio Lighting and Off-Camera Flash is the first digital photography lighting magazine made exclusively for the Apple iPad. The first issue was a huge hit and I’m proud to have authored the feature article in Issue #2! My article, titled: “Choosing the Right Tools”, discusses the topic of gear selection as a means of problem solving while going into detail about my 3 favorite light shaping tools. The digital-only format will allow you to magnify text and tap any image for a full screen view.

The first issue is free (click on the image above to download the app) and the second is available as an in-app purchase for only $2.99. I just bought the second issue and I can assure you that it’s totally worth the cost of a double cheese burger. There are over 50 pages of great articles, gear guides and inspiring images. My good pal Erik Valind visits issue #2 with an informative article about working with off-camera flash. Additionally, my friend and amazing commercial photographer Douglas Sonders is featured in this issue’s “Behind the Lens Video Interview”. Yes, that’s right folks… the magazine contains video as well. Welcome to the future!

Christina W. – Mega Models Miami

Joey — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 22:00:01 +0000

Meet Christina from Mega Model Management in Miami. I recently shot her (‘snap, snap’ not ‘bang, bang’) with the help of Yen Ryder (hair stylist). We were all set with plans to shoot in Key Biscayne but after taking a peek at the garden surrounding her condo, I knew we needed to travel no further. As I would only have access to this beautiful and unique setting while working with Christina, staying put was a no-brainer. That’s one of the things I love most about photography… there are no holds barred and every shoot comes with its own set of opportunities which you can choose to resist, ignore or embrace. I always go for the latter of the three.

Last Minute Holiday Gift Idea…

Joey — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 17:34:31 +0000

Struggling to come up with a last minute holiday gift idea for your friends or family? If so, consider a poster print of my Orlando cityscape photo printed on Kodak Professional Metallic paper! The 24″X36″ poster can be ordered as a print or mounted and framed, either way, just in time for Christmas. Prints can be shipped to your door while framed posters must be picked up locally in Orlando. The example photo below is a representation of the poster in a frame. Please note: The white ‘matte’ is actually a part of the printed poster design. See pricing below.

Poster Print, 24″X36″ (no framing, price includes shipping) $85

Viktoria Makrianis – Elite Miami

Joey — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 17:00:43 +0000

Here’s another set from my last visit to Miami featuring Viktoria Makrianis. Once again, Yen (the great hair stylist) and I dodged some nasty weather as we were greeted with clear skies that morning. It’s a good thing we took advantage of it because I was shooting in 35mph winds the following day. I’ll post the images from the tropical storm shoot in a week from now. In the meantime, enjoy Viki from Israel!

Kasey Ashcraft – Wilhelmina Miami

Joey — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:10:27 +0000

Well, it’s been a while since my last post but that’s about to change! I’m finally getting settled from a two month streak of non-stop shooting in Orlando, Miami, New York and LA. While traveling left me with little time for blogging (or sleep for that matter), it’s allowed me to stockpile enough web content to easily last me through the winter.

I’ll start this week with Kasey Ashcraft of Wilhelmina. We teamed up with Yen Ryder (hair stylist) and Amber Flowers (MUA) from the Glam Squad for a shoot in South Beach during my last trip to Miami. When Kasey pulled out this first outfit, I’ll admit that I was a bit skeptical and thought it looked ‘Mom-ish’… until she put it on. She kinda had a Marisa Miller meets Baywatch thing going on – and that’s a compliment! Am I right or am I right?

Nayara Bandeira

Joey — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 11:00:11 +0000

When Nayara and I set out for our shoot a few weeks back, we had less than 2 hours before the sun completely vanished into the horizon. Luckily, that’s all the time we needed to pull off a few looks and walk away with some quality photos. I’d love to take half of the credit but I’m convinced that a monkey with a camera could capture great images if you threw Nayara in front of the lens. Take a peek at the final results and judge for yourself…

Lisa Morales

Joey — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 07:43:27 +0000

After cleaning up the mess from my punishing night shoot with Michelle Pieroway and one hour of sleep, I met up with Lisa Morales for a morning shoot on the beautiful sand of Sunny Isles Beach. The brilliant sunrise and perfect weather seemed like an atonement from Mother Nature for the wrath she dealt me just a few hours prior. It was also reassuring to work with Lisa, a top notch model who was a finalist in last year’s Maxim Hometown Hotties contest along with my pal Ashley Vickers. You can catch Lisa hosting music countdowns every Saturday at 1pm on Telemundo – the channel which proves comedy to be universal, because it cracks me up despite my inability to understand it. So without further ado…

I snapped this little doozy before Lisa and I got started. Ain’t it purdy?
