PREPPING D'ANDRE FOR A SHOOT
Ive been getting asked alot lately what it is I do, as I cover alot of areas both artistically and photographically, I have decided to start illustrating how i work.
here is the result…after i have prepared the model; which requires makeup, styling, (basically hair/makeup to any extreme) i then get the props, lighting organised then direct the model throughout the shoot.

yes, spontenaety and seriousness aren’t friends,
being too serious its far too easy to overwork paintings without realising it
spontenaety gives wings to inspiration
in my experience
