Here’s a quick bio photo from a recent shoot I did with Miami based DJ Stevie J. Stevie J is best known for providing the soundtrack every week during LIV’s infamous and world renown Sunday night party with Headliner Market Group. You can follow up with Stevie and everything he’s up to at www.whoissteviej.com.

I met up with locally based hip-hop artist Jigg for a “vintage” styled photoshoot to promote a new single of his. We did this on Ocean Drive on South Beach in front of a very very old car. I think the car is Depression-era Buick, but please don’t quote me on that - I’m not too familiar with antique cars. But the shoot turned out well. Shot entirely on a Canon 7D with a little bit of texturizing via Adobe Photoshop.

Taken on January 22, 2010 in North Miami, Florida.

Photo taken of O.Z., an artist based in the north side of Dade County. We took this right by Sun Life Stadium (aka Dolphin Stadium aka Pro Player Stadium aka Joe Robbie Stadium aka whatever its called by the time you’re reading this article).

We started the shoot early enough at around 9:00AM and set up this shot in front of a small convenience store that O.Z. has gone to all his life since as far back as he can remember. The yellow backdrop with his bright red attire definitely helped him stand out nicely.

Taken at Cameo Theater on Miami Beach

Here are two photos I took of Miami hip-hop artist Ghostwridah. The top photo was taken in front of the building in the Arts District of Miami. And the bottom one was taken in front of this abandoned diner in Downtown Miami (which has since reopened).

This is a photo of Miami based artist, Majic.

Photo of 16 year-old pop singer in the making, London. Taken in front of an amazing array of colors which only added to her bubbly personality.

Here are a couple photos of new artist Shanell, who is signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money imprint. She’s an incredibly sweet and talented singer. I hope she definitely sees much success in the coming future.

This is a project I did for Terror Squad artist O.Z. I did the photography and designed the artwork as well. We went for something simple and wanted to a blue background for the look of the release.

Here’s a photoshoot with North Miami based Musician/Producer by the name of Shiv. We chose to use a wall installation created by Obey located in Miami’s Overtown area. The post production of this shoot involved a couple various retouch techniques and per request of the client, and these specific versions shown above show a granier and over-sharpened effect.

This is one of my favorite photos. This was a photoshoot for hip-hop/rock artist Quote-7. The trick to nail the shoot was to take a photo that can speak what Quote was about. Quote was as equally a hip-hop artist as he was a rock artist. So with that in mind, I took him to this wall that a friend was commissioned to paint (the skull with speakers graphic) and the rest was history. And for my nitpickers reading this, the washed out detail on his left arm and watch was done intentionally in post-production.

This was a photo of Miami-based recording artist Pitbull. I took it back in June 2003 (might’ve been earlier in the year) behind a barbershop called Fademasters. I actually took this with an old film camera that I bought. If I’m not mistaken this was one of Pitbull’s first photoshoots when he was an “upcoming artist”, years before he ever catapulted to international stardom.
