Julian is one of the best models I’ve ever worked with. He’s very professional and willing to try anything. We had him on his back in mud and he didn’t blink an eye. I love the vintage feel of this photo. The styling was done by local designer, Armando Guerra.

Photo of the Day: This photo was chosen, in part, by a random selection by Felix Macias with the # 175.
This photo of my partner, Remy was from our second photo shoot together. As I was editing the photo I thought about who helped to choose it. Felix is also a photographer who really likes high key fashion images. I usually try to keep my exposure levels so that no skin tones are blown out but this time I embraced it.
This shot was taken as part of a portfolio shoot I did with Denver designer, Armando Guerra in 2003. Armando worked for a junior wear company called Auraze in NYC for many years where he designed clothes for the “raver” scene. His designs were always colorful and unique. I love the collar and piping detail of this piece.
Roy is a ballet dancer here in Denver. We did this shoot with Designer Armando Guerra. Armando designed this look which I ended up really loving. Armando never ceases to amaze me. I love being surrounded by such talented artists.
This photo was taken as part of a “pride” issue of Metromode Magazine in 2007. It was Garrett’s first time modeling for me and he did an awesome job! I love how the natural light from the windows fall on his face.
Styled by Denver fashion designer Mondo Guerra for the 2007 gay pride issue of Metromode Magazine, this image was also exhibited in an international photography exhibit at the Center for Fine Art Photography last year. The heightened contrast of the colorful, outstretched hand against the model’s ultra-pale complexion evokes a variety of interpretations. Is the image political in nature? Does it provide a visual commentary on the process of coming out? Or is it simply a stylized reflection of the gay community itself?
The tension and strain in Roy’s body display a subtle strength. As I adjusted the color in this photograph, I stopped at this level because it all at once emphasized the intensity of this pose while revealing a soft vulnerability. The image simultaneously captures a graceful moment before rising and a possibility that he will leap from the photograph–the potential energy is enigmatic.
