Yoga shoot

I got together with yogini Carolyn Cohen ( owner of Jaya Healing Arts & Yoga Studio) last month as we were creating beautiful images of yoga asanas. Carolyn is a yogini with many years of experience. She teaches Vinyasa Yoga, Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion through chanting), Acro/Partner Yoga in her relaxing studio in Lambertville. She is also is a certified thai masseuse and acupuncturist. ( More info about her and her healing practices at www.carolyncohen.org) I love how these images came out. So beautiful!

Lifestyle photoshoot

In 2009 i did a lifestyle photoshoot in Central Park, NY, with personal trainer Sam Kastanis. We shot running, stretching, workout, drinking water images and all of those healthy actions included in the everyday routines of a personal trainer. One of the images i shot is now the selected one for the finals in the " Perry Ellis- sexiest guy next door" contest. I am so happy when my images makes people feel good. Well, MeiVisions say best of luck to you Sam! We are rooting for ya! Let us know how it goes! Readers of this blog, go on to the www.perryellis.com website and vote for Sam K!

Welcome behind my scenes...

...of the MeiVisions Photoshoot July 31th, 2011, Stockton, New Jersey. I was collaborating with two wonderful ladies. My model was the young,funky chic Jena Berman from Brooklyn, New York. She is in the process of starting up her own hair and beauty product line so keep an eye out for " jenaBhair" products guys. Her hair was the focus of this shoot as you will see when i post the images later on. Make-up and hair stylist this time was the Croatian and down-to-earth: Yuliyana Bishop, owner of "Yuli Hair Salon" in New Hope, PA. If you are ever in the area, or even in a state nearby ( New York, New Jersey) it is so worth traveling a bit and paying a visit to her salon. She is absolutely awesome in her expertise and she does a fabulous job on cutting, styling, color, make up, theatre make up, you name it. google them people, google them. Here are some photos from behind the scenes. Enjoy! Thank you for taking a look and reading my blog, it warms my heart. And last but NOT least- a big shout out to Bryan Gentry from TurtleVan Productions who was filming the whole day and is now putting togheter the next viral video. SOOO EXCITED to see it! Have a good day folks! www.meivisions.com

Capture Personality

I am aaaall for photoshoots that captures the personality of a person. I want a picture to tell me something about the person in the photo. I am not a big fan of forced smiles, artificial postures/poses and zero personality. I did , what i would like to call, a personality shoot with a dear friend from Switzerland. Ladies and gents...miss Tatiana Desardouin. She is one vibrant soul and works as a dancer, choreogrpaher, performer, dance teacher. I enjoy these photos of her alot because i think they came out great in the sense of 'it is SOOOOO her!' Haha. Enjoy these photos. Thanks again for taking a look. Have a great day!

|Prinkstacy with a touch of zanity...or is it|

This is an abstract painting that i created last summer. More paingings coming up! It started out as something else, but i didnt like it, painted over it, then didnt like dat, painted over it again and didnt like that......abstract paintings are hard to make. Much harder than one would think and they take much longer time than you would think too...And they do trigger one's subconcious. I totally respect abstract painters way much more now. How to guide the brush strokes with my instincts when creating something abstract - will take more practice for sure. But anyways, after re doing it and smearing it out like a mad woman, i finally got a background that i liked ( hehe that anger and toilet tissue worked it out). It would turn out to look good as a frame within the painting. And then i just had to decide when to stop ( thats a tricky one too....i tell ya) Anyways here it is, my first abstract painting ever. I call it: "Prinkstacy with a touch of zanity...or is it " Haha. Enjoy and thank you for taking a look at my work! have a great day!

Found Art

Who knows what found art is??? Found art is art created from found undisguised objects that are not normally considered art often because they already have a non-art function. Marcel Duchamp ( France) was the originator of this in the early 20th century and Picasso was going crazy with it too. Found art derives its identity as art from the designation placed upon it by the artist. Here is a found art piece created by myself, i call it : " Shair". It was once a SHopping cart, now it is a cHAIR. "SHAIR". It took alot of effort ( and violence) to get the cart into my car for transportation to the work shop at school, and a lot of sawing but it was a fun project and i am happy with the results and i have never seen it done before. So while i am patting myself on the back for a great job please enjoy my art! And i must say it is rather comfy to sit in...haha. Have a good day!

4 self's

These are pretty self explanatory "4 self's" in oil paint on bristol paper. One is monochromatic ( the blue one), analogous ( red, yellow, orange one) complimentary ( yellow, purple, blue, orange) and one is realistic. made from a mug shot taken that in may 2010, that's when i made this. I do think it looks like me. happy with the results.Thanks for taking a look.Bless
