I left my office on Tuesday afternoon, completely oblivious of what was going on the street. I came out of my office building to see many fire engines, news vans, ambulances, firefighters and paramedics. I found out that there were some manhole explosions earlier, and basement fires that affected several building on Broadway between W51st and W53rd streets.

A second Beauty photoshoot
This past Sunday, Terry and me organized a new photoshoot, this time going for a Beauty/Fashion/Bridal look to showcase her make-up skills. This time, we had three beautiful girls that acted as models - Anna, Mila, Susan and the fourth was Terry herself, who enjoyed the last session so much that she wanted an encore.

My first Beauty photo shoot
This past Sunday I had the chance to do my first Beauty/Portrait photo shoot with Terry as a Make Up Artist, whom I can say is quite talented. Since she is just getting started in the “online world”, the goal of this shoot was to create a set of portfolio photos to showcase Terry’s make-up skills and my photographic skills. And of course to make three beautiful girls look even more beautiful in the photos.
Before the shoot, I needed to think it through – location, gear, lights, background. After the break you’ll find more details.

An early spring day in New York
I’ve met Ya Yun a few months ago, and I approached her asking if she would like to model for me as I was building a portfolio. She was kind enough to agree. However, since the weather was not favorable for an outdoor session and we both had quite hectic schedules, we weren’t able to match our schedules for a long time.
But last week, I asked her if she would like to model for another project of mine. She said yes, but unfortunately, the schedules didn’t match, yet again. Still, we decided to use the Saturday (my other photo shoot was Sunday) to go out in the city and do an urban portrait session. The weather was perfect – it was sunny and unusually warm for a March day in New York.
