Kaylah Marin in New York

I had a chance to go to New York this last weekend and work with new indie Alternative Neo-Soul singer, Kaylah Marin. She did a 4 day mini-tour and showcase which included appearances at Splash Bar and Fox News' Strategy Room. Here are some behind the scenes of Kaylah and the Cd cover that Dimitry L. photographed for her new club mix cd. Big shout-out to Jennifer Lyneis of UE3 Promotions for hooking up the trip.

New Editorial in Style-ology Magzine

I love doing photo shoots and it is always exciting when I get to see my work in print. Dimitry and I have been pretty busy and have a few editorials out. The latest is in Style-ology Magazine. We did a nice beauty shoot for their fall issue. Here is the opening image.....you can click on the link to see the rest.

My Emmy Award experience

With coming of fall, here in Los Angeles, also comes the beginning of award season. One of my favorite things to do is hair and make-up for an actress or director or anyone going to one of these big events.

This last week I got to do one of my favorite actresses for the 2009 Alma Awards. Francia Raisa works on the hit show "Secret Life of the American Teen" and was nominated for best actress in a drama series for her role as Adrian. I did her make-up for the red carpet and show while her hairstylist Gabby hooked up her hair. Of course, she looked amazing.

I also had a chance to do Irish Director, Dearblha Walsh and her partner Anna Nolan, for the Primetime Emmys. She was nominated for Best Director for Outstanding Miniseries ( Little Dorrit.) I was able to do both her hair and makeup for the Red Carpet and Show. Since she lives in Dublin, Ireland, she was telling me how she was enjoying Los Angeles and the whole Emmy experience, even though she probably would not win.

So later when the show aired, I happened to catch the presentation for Best Director and what do you know, Ms. Walsh won!! I jumped up screaming at the TV.....so excited for her and then giddy at the fact that my hair and make-up would be seen on national TV. And she looked amazing.... hee hee

Actors on the Rise

A few months ago, Dimitry and I had a chance to shoot Paulo Constanzo. He was in the middle of shooting this new series and took time out for this photo shoot. The series, Royal Pains, is now a bonafide hit and one of my favorite shows.

We also had a chance to do a photo shoot with the new bad boy on 90210, Matt Lanter, who plays Liam Court. He is also the voice of Anakin Skywalker on the Cartoon Network series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." We had a great time working with such a nice guy.
