My name is Riccoo. I would call myself an up and coming photographer and questionably an up and coming model. I would say some inspirations would be GodlySinner or Marta from instagram. I think that just seeing her pictures really made me want to jump more into photography. I think the reason i'd like to be a photographer is because I take interest in beautiful things and I love to be able to remember all the beautiful things whether it be my friends, random people, sky lines, water, etc. The reason I like to capture these images is because things are never the same. Like for example, if you take a picture of a city and try to take the same picture ten years later it would be two different pictures. I wouldn't say I've had any real struggles except the wait to get my Canon T5. Some of my goals would be to gain enough money, whether it be from becoming a model, actor, interior designer, or which ever one of those jobs I'd end up persuing in life, to just take a year break and travel the world and take pictures of every single thing. From every street to every sky. If you'd like to see some of my work you can follow me on instagram @riccoo my tumblr is @carefreeprince and my twitter is @rxccoo

Even though she’s only been behind the lens for about 6 months, Darcel has been interested in the craft for 2 years. She has an eye to capture all the right details so starting with street photography was a great choice for her. Her ability to capture the grittiness of the cityscape yet keep it simple is what I admire most from her work.

My names Liliana Hernandez and I live in New York City, home to opportunity. I come from an artistic back ground where even my great grandfather was an artist. Art was always a mandatory skill to learn. Growing up, like some kids, I grew up bullied. At the time it was a problem, but it in fact helped me grow. I was always made fun of for looks and such. And that's where my present day inspiration comes from. I do portrait photography not to take photos of what a person can portray. But to bring out what a person is within. I struggled  starting my photography because no one ever really thought I had it in me. And I guess you can say I found inspiration in that too. Wanting to prove people wrong, I did the best of my abilities to do just that. And when I got into art school, I thought I was queen because no one ever though I would do something grand in my life and i knew getting into art school was my one of many accomplishments. It's now almost 2015, one year later, and I have gotten various job offers as a photographer. Photography has gotten me so many opportunities and I can't wait to reach the top. My goals with my photography are to continue portrait photography but to specialize in fashion photography. To work with celebrities and the best of the best. Anything is possible if you just believe, and I truly do believe.

How to Dress with a Celebrity MindSet by Chris Angel

10/26/2014

0 Comments

 

Lately, women in the "Celebrity World" have been taking us by storm with their amazing jaw dropping outfits. These women dress for success as a living. On regular day basis they were designer pieces such as Givenchy, Alexander Wang and Louboutin. For special occasion they might wear designer pieces such as Lanvin, Tomford, Celine, Versace, Maison Martin Margiela, Balmain and Balenciaga. Although these beautiful ladies waste a huge income on their outfits, you could do it for less. It's all about finding your way around it and not imitating but improving. You can get similar outfits as celebrities but still make them your own without spending half as much. Stay tuned, later this week we will let you know more stores to keep you looking stylish instead of looking like an imitator.

Have a great day, chrisangel

Must Haves for Women this Season by Safiyah Mac

10/24/2014

Hey girls! 

It's about that time where we trade in our cute bikinis and beach time for some chunky sweaters and hot cocoa! Here are some of the must haves us ladies should have in our closet for fall season & also some of my fall favorites:




Picture
Wool-blend biker coat from H&M ($39.95) Lately I've been seeing a lot of girls with the long, heavy trend coat-ish coats and I can tell you I'm so in love with them! (I personally have one myself) I think it brings a more chic look to an outfit.
Picture
Chelsea ankle boots from H&M ($34.95) What's fall without some cute booties? A nice ankle boot is definitely an essential for fall. It's an easy to-go shoe also goes with everything. Rather you're shooting for a daytime look or a nighttime look, these boots will pull any look together.
Picture
Plaid flannel ($24.95) & Knit Sweater ($34.95) both from H&M These are both some awesome pieces to layer. Also keep in mind that darker colors are also consider "the fall" colors but never be scared to break that trend and wear a pop of color!
Picture
Picture
Leather biker jacket from H&M ($299) A little bit on the pricey side but you can also find other biker jackets for a cheaper price at Forever 21. A biker jacket can always put a little edgier look on an outfit.
Picture
Black high waisted skinnies from Forever21 ($24.80) A MUST MUST have for fall fashion would be black skinnies. They go with absolutely ANYTHING! They're good for if you just wanna go for a basic outfit with a plain tee and cute booties or you can dress them up with a nice sweater and oxfords/flats.

This season is the season for oversized tops, whether you are male or female. Here we have a black oversized sweater, very simple. With this sweater you can never do wrong, you can wear it with any type of jeans, trousers, or any bottoms. You can purchase an oversized sweater at any store whether it be at H&M or Zara. Everywhere should have something this simple, even your local thrift shops and boutiques.

Everyone needs a pair of black jeans. Black jeans go with everything and are typical your everyday jeans. These are a MUST !

Since this is fall, we need to rock fall colors. Here is an autumn color reflected sweater. This is just an idea of a sweater needed for this fall.

As you can see, these are casual Clarks. Clarks are very comfortable and a great investment. They aren't quite expensive but not cheap. They come in your bad I colors such as black, brown, tan. You can buy Clarks online on the Clarks website or retail stores such as DSW. If you aren't into Clarks, there are other boots you can wear from Steve Madden. Clarks -$50-$110 Steve Madden Boots -$75-$150

If you cannot afford the top name brands, PLEASE DO NOT GO BROKE ! There are all types of different stores that have twin items for lesser prices. Fashion isn't wearing expensive clothes but feeling comfortable in what you wear & pulling the whole thing off !
