I had the honor of working with an awesome team! Photographer KIDD CHAOS - Model Rene Vita - MUA Akua Robinson - HAIR Zoey Asher. This shoot flowed so well, when you have talented people surrounding you the creativity is unreal!
For this shoot I used some vintage furs, lots of black & some neutrals, sexy classy! The model's bright blue eyes, whispy hair & charcoal eye makeup really brought the vision together. Also, I wanted to keep the jewelry simple, a string of diamonds here, bold necklace there, keep the focus on the outfits. But hey! let's let the photos speak for themselves :)

Photographer Spotlight // KiDD CHAOS
When did you start photography? //
"I bought my first camera April 2009. The day I bought it my best friend and I rode up to Union Station on the metro to take a few photos. I bought the camera as a way to keep myself busy. I was having crazy issues with a girl I was talking to and it seemed like something interesting to do. Yes, this all began with a girl! I started out taking silly pictures of friends and photo-shopping in fire and swords, the usual nerdy stuff. Eventually I moved on to taking pictures of women, because they're visually more pleasing to the eye. My first official photo-shoot was in June of 2009, i shot a former co-worker. I remember thinking it was the best shit I've ever seen in my life! From there the hunger to become better took hold."
I know you also studied Graphic Arts, how do you think this helped you as your love for photography grew? //
"Yes, I was a graphic design major at 'The Art Institute of Washington'. but my level of creativity goes back further than college. I learned how to use photoshop in high school and before that I was drawing and painting portraits. I've always had a passion for art, because its the only thing that made any sense to me. I do feel my skills as a graphic designer does put me at a better advantage than most photographers because I understand the art of photoshop better than most. Retouching is a huge part of our culture and most all photos you see are photo-shopped."
Black & White OR Color //
"I love both! That's like asking a mother which one of her twin boys does she love the most!"
What's your goal for the next couple years as a photographer? //
"I hope to expand my reach. Bringing in the new year, I want travel more and produce work in other cities. If the sky's the limit, then I'm aiming for the stars!"

"I would love to do a shoot in Louisiana! I love the southern culture & vibe there. I can imagine a model chillin with a cigarette on an old cobblestone road surrounded by aged red brick. It just gives me goosebumps!"
