David Penna for Bunker 4 Men Underwear

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to my new friend David Penna.  David responded to my casting on Model Mayhem when I received some great samples from Bunker underwear, and I'm sure you'll agree that he's a great model wearing some great briefs.

Thanks to the guys at Bunker for supplying the product, and to David for bringing his A game to the shoot!
(and while I'm sure you're all noticing there's a guy in briefs on your screen, take a second to check out that perfect bone structure in his face!)

The Haynes Running Manual

Last Spring, I had the pleasure of shooting with two fitness models that had posted on Model Mayhem, looking for a photographer.  They were both based in the U.K., and were here in New York to meet with some agents, as well as get some photos for a book the male model wrote.  It's a manual on running, and the published suggested that they get some images in the States, so that the book didn't only appeal to people on the U.K.

I responded to the casting, we set up a time to meet, and had a blast capturing the images you can see below.  I have to admit, it was really exciting getting a package from the publisher, with a note that said "sent at request of author."  It was this beautiful, hardcover book with my photographs all over it!

Here are some of my favorite pages from The Haynes Running Manual.
*the cover image is not mine, but I wanted to show what the book looks like.

Manuel Curmi for Male Basics

I had a shoot set up with Manuel Curmi for Tommy Hilton underwear.  Right before he came over, I received a package with some samples from Male Basics.  Since we had a few minutes after our shoot, I asked him if he'd mind shooting a couple teaser pics for Male Basics until I was able to have a casting and do a full shoot.  Here's what we came up with!

African Bride featuring Kevin B Photography: Now On Sale

It's finally on sale, the 2012 issue of African Bride magazine!  After months of waiting, it's really exciting to see your photos in print.  While I love having my photos published online, there's nothing quite like flipping through the pages of a magazine and seeing your images.  And since African Weddings US only publishes one print issue a year, this one was definitely teaching me patience.  It's true what they way: the best things come to those who wait.

While I'm waiting to have the images scanned and uploaded here, as well as my Facebook page and personal website, here are the images being used to promote the magazine online.  Enjoy!

Boy Meets Girl: Behind The Seams with Stacy Igel

It's always a pleasure shooting an event for my friend Stacy Igel, founder and creative director of Boy Meets Girl.  This time it was the wrap party for Boy Meets Girl: Behind The Seams with Stacy Igel.  Stacy, Michelle, and her entire team are a blast to work with, and I hope I can be with them for many events to come.  Stacy is the queen of social media, so make sure you keep up with everything she's got going on for Boy Meets Girl on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tumblr, and anywhere else you can find her!

The celebs at this event included JP Rosenbaum, my girl Orfeh, Sabi, Mob Wives Carla Facciolo and Ramona Rizzo, Miss New York Johanna Sambucini, and Miss Teen New York Sabrina Mastrangelo.

African Bride Magazine

I just finished an incredible shoot for African Bride Magazine!  African Bride USA is a new publication put out by the good folks at African Weddings US.  You can check out their website here!  The images will be used for an 8 page editorial in their October issue.  From the editor: "Our goal for the shoot is to create bridal looks for the bride who would like to combine the elegant designer wedding dress with a touch of African fashion to emphasize the African beauty and tradition."  Clearly, I was an obvious choice for this shoot!  While I'm not at liberty to use the images until the issue has hit the newsstands, I will tell you we had 9 beautiful women in gorgeous gowns with a touch of African awesomeness! Here are two shots from the end of the day, featuring the insanely talented make-up duo.  It just gives you an idea of how much fun we had.
And a big Thank You to the staff of Allisa's Bridal in Brooklyn for providing the gowns, as well as the location for the shoot.

Cleons Pop Art

This morning, I finally got to meet and shoot with Chad Leon of Cleons Clothing Co..  Chad was in from Chicago to shoot his new line, and Model Mayhem got us in touch.  And as it turns out, I shot the male model, Juan Gabriel, in a fashion show last summer.  Katie Ellis is the sexy female model, who came with Chad from Chicago for this shoot.  I can't thank these guys enough–and Chad will second me on this–for braving the cold to get these shots.  It was FREEZING by the water, with an insane amount of wind, but these two did what they needed to do to get some great images for the new line!
