designed this photographic series to visually represent the frustration that most women must have when they are trying to find a beautiful dress for a special occasion and cannot find one. You know those occasions when you need a spectacular outfit and cannot find what you are looking for, but all of the sudden the outfit finds you out of the blue? You have been there. You have been shopping all day and could not find the perfect outfit. Then a friend comes over with a catalogue and there it is. The dress has found you. As a fashion and glamour photographer I liked the idea of this beautiful Jovani dress casually floating in and pleasantly surprising the model. The gown sneaks in from behind and gently taps her as if to say, “hi I’m here, wear me!” After all, she was lost in the sea of indecision and could not find the perfect dress for her occasion. As the dress floats in, she falls in love with it and immediately takes it as her own.

y name is Yoeslan Alfaro. I’m a Cuban/American and reside in Miami, FL. Photography is my calling, my profession, and the thing that will undoubtedly drive me insane someday. I wrestle with every image I shoot. I assume perfection is possible and I want to wring it out of every picture. I am fortunate to be able to spend a good amount of time on personal projects and collaborating with a team of amazing people. For this story “Dust Settles” I wanted something fresh and clean at the same time. I started brainstorming and the idea of making my model look really cold and strong was my inspiration for this story. I wanted to create an out of the box concept regardless the fact that I was shooting in a studio. I had the pleasure to work with the talented model Mikai Akei who I’ve worked with in the past. She delivers every single time and knows how to give poses according to the mood and concept of the story. We used simple but yet very strong pieces on our model to make tell a story. The hair and make-up was very aggressive as well to compliment the vibe and Melo Cruz was able to recreate the vision that I had for the look. I was very pleased with the end results and I’m glad I can share that with the rest of the world.

BRYTE DARDEN
M
y name is Bryte Darden, and I am a senior at Redwood High School in Marin County. I signed with Look Modeling Agency 2 years ago, where I started my modeling career. I have met so many amazing creative people, and I love adding to each of their creative visions. Whether it is a runway show, editorial look, or lifestyle shoot, there is always a new artistic view. The experience has been amazing. This past year I signed with Maverick Modeling Agency in LA and look forward to working in the LA market. My main passion is singing and studying music. I started singing and playing the guitar 5 years ago. I love learning new genres and singing challenging songs. My favorite genre is Jazz. I sing jazz with the SF Jazz All Stars and a smaller combo called Sequoia. I also love singing funk and soul with another band called Canopy. I am hoping to continue singing when I go to college next year in LA or NYC. Apart from my creative side of modeling and singing, I am an active and adventurous person. I love hiking and running the trails in Marin County. This past summer I helped lead a group for a month in the Alaska Tundra. I have also spent time trekking in the Pyrenees Mtns and the Tour de Mount Blanc in the Swiss Alps. I love spending time in the outdoors, pushing myself to new limits. I am excited for the new adventures that lay ahead.

MARCO FERREIRA
Marco Ferreira is a photographer residing in San Francisco, California. He and his assistant, Ron DeMoura Jr, created 21 Photography in an effort to bring unique and quality artistic themes to life through the lens. Born in Brazil, Marco has always had a strong drive and passion for creating art through film. 21 Photography’s mission is to spark the imagination through the use of emotion and display beauty, grace, and strength through photography. This project was inspired by Art Director/Producer Daniel Bean who has a love for the 1960’s. Creative Director/Stylist Antonio Vaughn took this concept and created a story line which displays the strength of a woman who is waiting for her love to return from war, not knowing if he is dead or alive, but finding the strength to carry on.

VEDA SKATTER
like to tell a story in my art. Fabricate moods, elements, anything; that a viewer can both feel and see. Create something meaningful or relatable. This set, to me, describes that the inevitable state of vulnerability - coming home on a Saturday night out, fully made up, but mourning over that one person that never showed. It illustrates the winding down part of the night, undressing to one’s true emotions, sinking into the tub. Longing, lonely. Hoping that one person will walk in the door. Knowing they won’t. Drowning feelings with one glass after another, a cigarette in between unkissed lips. 2am. That naked time between Saturday night and Sunday morning, peacefully unpeaceful. As a model and art director, this was the story in my head. But the photos can be interpreted other ways. I am forever appreciative to my team, the wonderful photographer, Jova, and talented makeup artist, Felicia, for making this all come alive.

FELICIA SALAZAR HAIR AND MAKE UP ARTIST
A
s a passionate makeup artist, I strive to achieve the best outlook on every set. Meaning that, I view each model as a blank canvas. I can tell what would look fascinating with their features; while still staying in concept with the theme of the shoot. When creating this makeup look, I automatically envisioned old Hollywood glam. Natural, soft, and luscious. Very classic with a bold, bright red lip.
