MODEL PHOTOSHOOT FOR UPCOMING PROJECT!

Had an amazing time working with the Team at Live Model Books.  They have the best resource I have ever seen for artists.

I had the privilege to direct the model shoot and work with Vik Tori, an incredible model and fellow dancer!  Speaking a similar language meant we were able to get exactly the poses we needed for this project!

Here is a picture from the shoot.  More updates to come about this exciting project!
