The Collaboration...

...with Tamara Natalie Madden and Vincent Christie

Recently, I collaborated on a shoot with The Pangeas Garden founder, Vincent Christie. I was obviously humbled because he's such an amazing photographer. We shot model, ButtaFly, for a campaign for Charly Palmer's upcoming line of jewelry. Take a look a some of the pics below and let us know how you feel.

Sun Goddess

On a sunny Georgia day; I had another wonderful shoot with Nadine. Her skin glistens so beautifully in the sun, it's as if she was made from it.

Nightly's Colour...

I had a moment.

It was around the time at the end of session with a model that I'd shot in my HomeStudio. I knew we were done, she needed the images for an online community she was involved in and we had plenty...

We took a few more shots. They were a little racy and I was very interested in the play of bright colour on dark skin. They ended up not being used in the set. I think they look beautiful here. Do you?

the works and words of Saddi Khali...

"i believe art can change the world. let's make a difference. i'm tryna do work that looks like no other. i've done magazines, album & book covers, but my current passion is fine art."


"i'm currently workin in natural light. god's illumination on Black skin is magnificent 2 me."


"Black people need 2 see images of ourselves w/ humanity. women beautiful regardless of size, shape or complexion. men strong, sensitive & loving. parents & children caring & happy. couples in love in warm intimate moments. us as lovers, sensual & sexy but not nasty even when we're nasty."



"i can b reached @ saddikhali@gmail.com or on facebook"


You can see more on Saddi's works here and here. Saddi and I had an interesting discussion, expect to see the results of it here soon.

Sheree Swann's Lens of Life

Sheree Swann loves capturing the unique beautiful in all people. Finding photography liberating, she uses it to create opportunities to elevate her mind and spirit. Her images are, fascinating explorations and sensuously artistic. They are funky and they are fierce, appealing to that edgy quality in us all.

Life, the way Sheree see it, "is bold, colorful and full of contrast", which is reflected in her work.

"I love to show people how I see them, in the light of being beautiful, even if they don’t see that beauty in themselves. With that, I will continue to create art through the reflection of my lens." Sheree, says.

Sheree created Lens of Life, her photography and videography company, in 2004. To see more of breathtaking images, check out her website here.

Beauty in sensuous blue...

A pictorial moment of the images Beauty and I sought to capture on that overcast day. I wish we could have done more but I think these final few works portray the feel I wanted to portray.
