July is here! The halfway point of the year and for us Americans, a time of celebration for our political freedom. However, world-wide, everyone wants the chance to speak their mind and make a difference in their world. As artists, our work speaks volumes. Images worth thousands of words speak the languages of every country represented in Fashion Faces. We occasionally get the chance to get behind the pictures to interview those like this month’s Brande Wilkerson, Robin Hagy and Eric Wimberly. From these moments we get to peek into the dreams that fuel your endeavors, and who it is you’re supported by to see it all come to fruition.

What is YOUR message? My challenge to you is to decifer what you want the world to ‘hear’ when your images ‘speak.’ Though we certainly have language barriers and miles between us, often the colors, textures and lighting in these shoots speak what our mouths may not. Perhaps we will never meet, yet we will recognize each other in compositions, expressions and themes that typify our artistic style. Think Monet or Van Gogh. We recognize them instantly. They say you only get once chance to make a first impression. I choose to graciously observe the ever-morphing talent and identity of growing talents. Some of you are teaching me, while others I feel I am mentoring. Needless to say, this is the evolution of one’s self. To be lost and found in your work; to put a piece of yourself on display “Show & Tell-ing” this audience your vulnerability and wavering confidence. Know who you are and what YOU want to say. It IS important, valid and necessary to do what Art should - challenge you to think. Tell your stories in pictures and as Leland Thomas states, “At every crossroad, follow your Dream. It is courage to let your heart lead the way.” Thank YOU for teaching ME to take those same steps toward my dream. #finishstrong


Creatively yours,

Fashion Faces Editor in [email protected]

I'm launching my very own skin care product line called FöM™ soon.

It's about clean, light, high quality products that I have designed to enhance the look and style

of both men and women equally--truly gender neutral.


The name FöM™ comes from a blend of the words femme and homme, and I also love the imagery of sea foam-- clean, refreshing, natural! We live in a new era. Old gender roles and rules are confining and out-of-date. I decided to design the FöM™ products as I began to see an exciting new feeling of individualism and self-expression developing in my clients and people I meet everyday. People want to have self-determination in all aspects of their lives more than ever I believe, and that is reflected in their choice of lifestyle products too. FöM™ expresses that ideal.

FöM™ is the first lifestyle brand to embrace the self determination of the new millennium, and our Sex-Flex™ products are carefully formulated to help you achieve true self-expression, while supplying restorative, rejuvenating moisture along with natural, enhancing color.


We believe we are creating more than a product, we intend to be a lifestyle brand. We like to say "Ästhetiks are Evolving. Are You?"™ I'm excited about the evolution of FöM™!

We haven't launched yet, but people who are interested can sign up to receive email updates about FöM™ www.bymarcela.com



was found by Emergency Animal Medical Technicians after he had been abandoned in a parking lot. The pup was forced to endure the extreme summer heat and when he was found, he was not only suffering from heat stress but the hot pavement left him with blisters on his tiny paws. He was quickly rushed to the Arizona Humane Society and medical staff immediately began to cool him off with water and fluids. Wally has been given a second chance at life and is ready to find a new forever friend who will appreciate his adorable “Chewbacca looks” and his abundance of energy. The 5-month-old West Highland terrier mix enjoys games of fetch, vigorously shaking stuffed toys while parading around the house and will play with dogs of all sizes (even a Great Dane). Wally is available NOW at the Campus for Compassion located at 1521 West Dobbins Road in Phoenix. His adoption fee is $200 and includes his neuter surgery and vaccines.

In any discussion on cancer, skin cancer must

be a topic. In the last 30 years more people have

had skin cancer than ALL other forms of cancer

combined. The CDC’s latest pronouncement is

that 1 in 5 people in the U.S. will have some

form of skin cancer in their lifetime, therefore

the obsession with tanning as a way to look

more attractive, healthier, sexier and appear

skinnier needs to be addressed.

Tanned skin has never been a universally

accepted trend. While Caucasian women in

Europe, the U.S., Australia and Brazil craved a

golden tan, women in South East Asia want to

be fair skinned and Indian women and men use

bleaching creams to lighten their complexion.

ALL seek to boost their self-esteem, attraction

to the opposite sex and success in business!

Historically, the western world viewed sunburn

as an indicator of class as those doing manual

labor were forced to work outdoors, people

with pale skin could afford to have others work

outside. Of course not everyone was born

‘pale’ so even in ancient times cosmetics and

toiletries were used to fake it, even then they

could be expensive and even dangerous like

the lead based white face (o-shiroi) of Japan,

and lead face powder for the courtiers of

England and Louis XV’s court. Thankfully the

sensible Victorian’s preferred a more unmade

face moving the standard from alabaster to

natural skin tone.

In the 1920s, fashion icon and designer Gabriel ‘Coco’ Chanel popularized

‘the tan’ as the look for those who wanted to be stylish. Perfumer Jean

Patou even produced the first tanning product promising to “put an end

to sunburn, soften and tan the skin.” Sadly it didn’t do anything for safety.

With the arrival of swinging 1960s a tan told everyone you had the spare

time to tan and the money to travel. It also intimated an enthusiasm for the

outdoors, an active lifestyle implying more physicality and good health.

Where has that led us: the Skin Cancer Foundation reports that over two

million people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year, with one person

dying from melanoma every hour!

Thankfully the appeal of the tan has begun to fade, as the public becomes

aware of the long-term risks health-conscious, style- savvy individuals are

beginning to abandon tanning to embrace sun protection and their natural

skin tones. This is vital given the knowledge that 90 percent of all skin

cancers, eye damage, and immune system suppression is associated

with exposure to UV radiation.

Vogue’s Beauty Director Sarah Brown, commented: “A healthy glow does

not mean a tan, and I think that’s what we have to clear up. A healthy glow

is your skin tone, glowing.”

So why do people keep tanning? Surely the thought of thinning skin, fine

lines and wrinkles, liver spots, skin rashes from the interaction between

UV rays and certain medications, aggravation of autoimmune diseases,

and cataracts in addition to the terrifying statistic on cancers of the eye

and skin—would be a significant deterrent? Apparently tanning can be

just as habit-forming as drugs and alcohol. Scientists measured the

brain activity and blood flow of study participants subjected to ultra violet

radiation in a tanning bed and discovered that the UV rays stimulate

several parts of the brain involved in addiction.

All things considered the definition of a healthy glow needs to revert to

one where we rely on an inner glow which is neither artificially whitened

nor UV-damaged as the new standard for beauty and health.

SKIN CANCER - TANNING IS NOT TRENDING

fter being diagnosed with Breast Cancer in January 2014,

I dove into processing my emotions towards it using fashion

design & photography. It is my natural outlet and what I

have done for years. I produced “The Choice” in response

to my choice in responding to the initial diagnosis. Next was

“SHREDDED” referring to the surgery I had immediately

following the diagnosis. (Seen in Fashion Faces Magazine

April 2014) I chose to be positive and see the victory through

the battle from the beginning. Naturally, Shredded, was a

beautiful display of the real and transparent beauty of our

fragile mortality as a women facing this battle.

My doctor sent me to an oncologist where my lab results

determined I would not need chemo but would go straight into

radiation for 6 weeks. I was relieved I would not have to endure

chemo, but that did not change the extreme range of emotions

and fear that go through your head concerning your future

with cancer. As a good patient, I did not protest. I completely

trusted my team of doctors and started my radiation promptly.

I was working on a lot of personal research for my diagnosis

and making a list of questions awaiting my follow up with my

surgeon. During this time, I produced Radioactive.

I wanted this set to show the trust, beauty, strength, and

determination I carried every day to my treatment session.

I was intrigued by the healing treatment of radiation, an

element present in the cosmos at the beginning life of a star!

In designing this concept, I wanted my everyday posture to

be reflected. Each day I was positioned with one shoulder arm

over the head and the laser marking strategically placed over

the breast. I wanted to reflect the grids, graphs & measuring

that each nurse takes time to line me up under the laser each

treatment session. You will see a bit of cosmic beauty, a bold

color rays in lighting and makeup that illuminates the eye or

vision. My makeup artist Kelsey Eggers was able to execute

such a luminous ombre effect that highlighted Payton’s

beautiful features! You see the midway through my treatment

that she is halted in her process.


radioactive, a personal story - brande wilkerson


met with my surgeon for a follow-

up half way through my radiation,

with my list of questions concerning

my treatment options and possible

mastectomy reconstruction. My doctor

was unaware that I was in radiation

and immediately halted my treatment

to have me meet with a plastic

surgeon. I then found out I was too

far into radiation for this process to be

an easy one. It would require multiple

surgeries over years, since my skin

was permanently damaged already

from the radiation.

Reconstruction was going to be a risky

and possibly fallible choice if I chose

to do so. I was so devastated to learn

my options were no longer available

because of the miscommunication with

my doctors. That same day after meeting

with the plastic surgeon, I decided to

return to complete my radiation.

This hiatus is reflected in the set where

I styled the model in chains & netted

column gown to show a restricted

dressing & posture. Payton, my model,

delivered the expressions of frustration,

fear and confinement felt I during these

few weeks, perfectly.

weekend or bringing exclusive interviews with local and

international artists, actors and chefs such as Juanes,

Lucero, Diego Luna, Los Tigres del Norte, Victor Manuel,

Hosting DC Contigo, allows Stefani to learn from other

cultures, give back to the community and grow professionally.

In her role as the Associate Producer, Stefani produces

a “Makeover” segment, designed for hard working Latino

women to feel empowered and motivated to gain their

confidence back, and feel empowered moving forward

In their lives. As part of the show, Stefani enjoys international

travel to cover events such as the folkloric Carnivals of

Barranquilla, Colombia, her native land. In addition, she

has produced travel segments on various Caribbean

Islands. She also covered the closing ceremony for the

Fondo del Milenio in San Salvador, El Salvador for Univision

Washington and DC Contigo.

Tell us about your show with Univision.

DC Contigo is a show that features stories covering

local entertainment and talent, traveling segments from countries

such as El Salvador, Bolivia, Colombia and others, health, sports,

fitness, cooking segments, beauty tips and make-overs. DC

Contigo also provides viewers with the opportunity to participate

in "Make a Wish" promotion in which they can participate

to win different prizes.

Do you get nervous before every show?

Of course! At the beginning, I pretty much had butterflies

in my stomach. Specially, when interviewing huge celebrities.

I guess I could not believe I was meeting them and talking to

them. Fortunately, the more you do it, the easier it gets. After

four years in the show, it has become second nature to me.

How do you see yourself progress in this field?

I am a visionary. I came to the US, and I have done

things I never could have done back home in Colombia where

I am from. So, to me anything is possible in this country. I would

love to continue working as a tv host, but my dream job have

always been working in movies which are is my true passion,

so working as an actress and eventually as a producer in this

industry will be truly a dream come true.

Are you also a model?

I am. I have been modeling since I was 17 and I believe

it is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. At least

for me, it has taught me a great deal about how to show yours

strengths and use your assets to your benefit. Also, in my case,

I have used modeling as a means to provide for support to pay

for my studies. Thanks to this profession, I was able to study

English and get my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration. muah - marcela urioste

Do you prefer modeling more than hosting a TV show?

Uhhm. I would say modeling has a special place in my

heart, and you can always go back to it. In fact, you need to love

modeling and be comfortable in front of the camera if you want

to work in the television industry. However, I prefer hosting as it

gives me the opportunity to connect with people from all walks

of life and learn so much from them. Also, I enjoy the connection

I have with the viewers that approach me in public places to say

hi and ask me to take a picture with their children.

What is something that you want to do that you haven’t

done yet in your career?

I have done music videos and many tv spots, but I truly

feel that acting is definitely something I would love to do either

in tv series, theatre and movies.

With so much going on throughout your life how do you

manage your time to get everything done?

Wow! Including me, I sometimes wonder how I do it.

The fact is I have a very strong support from my family so I do

not have to worry at home to do the laundry, mop the floors,

or cook LOL. so it really helps a lot and I can use my energy

to focus on work, getting my MBA degree and this tv/modeling

career I love so much!

What’s you secret diet?

The secret is that there are not secrets. To be quite

honest, exercise! I love jumping the cord, and yoga. It is just

quite relaxing and relieves some much stress. As I once heard,

you are as young as you are flexible.


You’ve been on countless

magazines and TV shows. What

rituals do you do to get ready

for the camera?

Well when you are on tv, you

definitely become more aware of what

looks good and what not. So, there

are three things I keep in mind. One is

my signature smile. It has to be clean

and as white as possible, so I use my

whiten strips before every show.

Also, when filming, I like to do a voice

check to make sure I am not too loud!

As a good Latina, you kind of need to

control that excitement in your voice

so it does not show too much. Third,

I am more aware of HD cameras, so

I have learned that there are always

make up tricks I need to incorporate

to get the best looks possible.




What did you want to be when you were younger?

I always knew I wanted to be my own boss.

So a business owner.

Who inspires you?

Sofia Vergara and Shakira who are also from

my hometown, Barranquilla in Colombia.

What advice would you give to people wanting

to get into the scene?

If you enjoy the spotlight, hard work and most

importantly do not pay attention about what other

people think (except your loved ones), then,

you are good to go!

Who’s did you expect to win the World Cup?

Colombia of course!!!

Up every mornin’ just to keep a jobI gotta fight my way through the hustlin’ mobSounds of the city poundin’ in my brainWhile another day goes down the drain

But it’s a five o’clock world when the whistle blowsNo one owns a piece of my timeAnd there’s a five o’clock me inside my clothesThinkin’ that the world looks fine

Tradin’ my time for the pay I getLivin’ on money that I ain’t made yetGotta keep goin’, gotta make my wayWhile I live for the end of the day

‘Cause it’s a five o’clock world when the whistle blowsNo one owns a piece of my timeAnd there’s a long-haired girl who waits, I knowTo ease my troubled mind

In the shelter of her arms every thing’s okayShe talks and the world goes slippin’ awayAnd I know the reason I can still go onWhen every other reason is gone

In my five o’clock world, she waits for meNothing else matters at all‘Cause every time my baby smiles at meI know that it’s all worthwhile

UNITED STATES

PHOTOGRAPHY + ILLUSTRATION

My fortuitous introduction to Eric was made by Denver-based photographer, Mike Larremore, who shares in making the most to build relationships in the industry. How fortunate of Fate’s hat to tip its brim, presenting me with the introspective perspective, down-to-earth interests and hopeful endeavors of Eric! Our time together was one of those social picture-perfect moments, seizing the very significance of the essence of every artist beyond their craft...down to their soul.

Just before his 35th birthday, I inquire of Eric to humor me with an aesthetic point of view on his passions, profession, life, liquor, and the American Dream. How patriotic. Happy birthday, buddy.

aking the acquaintance of many talented photographers has been one of the many rewarding facets of my role as Editor in Chief at Fashion Faces. Whether at events, photo shoots or online, I love viewing the myriad of images captured by our photographers; many of which we have the honor of sharing with the world through the pages of the publication. Needless to say, getting to know the ‘personality behind the lens’ is a yet whole other world of wonder worth capturing!

One such personality that I have the pleasure of introducing is Portland-based photographer, illustrator and mailman, Eric Wimberly.


Eric, do you have any idea where all your creative talent

comes from? You are just divine, sir.

Thanks, you make me feel like a gold mine! I have no clue.

No one in my family is artistic in any way except my

grandfather. He was a musician, and quite the character.

By far my favorite relative. I’m probably adopted.

Well I guess the gene pool was damned up til you came

along! So what approach do you take towards your

photography? How do you “know” when you’ve got the

“right shot?” Do you feel like there is some thing

psychological about your approach to the perfect image?

Interviewed by - ediitor in chief, jenna belt

I use photoshop, but not much. Just to tweak the

contrast. I never get in there and change anyone’s

DNA or anything. I’ve been an artist my whole life,

and I originally started taking photos as references

to draw. Eventually, I took a photo that I felt was

perfect, and I didn’t want to draw it. Which made

something click. I had this idea that if I could keep

making photos like that, I might be on to something.

So to this day while shooting, it clicks when I see just

the right shot. I get a feeling that says “That’s the one

right there” on my approach: I try to capture the poses

between poses. I want to show natural beauty that

people possess.

Good! I believe some of the most powerful

images some in the “motion” not in the pose!

What kind of equipment do you use? Do you

prefer shooting in a studio to outdoor?

I have been using a Canon 5DMkII, but I

JUST acquired a Canon 6D. the self portraits

were with the MkII. and it was time for some

new hardware. The old one broke. It’s a

software issue, I’m sure. I could probably have

it repaired, but I felt it was time to upgrade.


Has taking photos caused you to gravitate towards other

creatives? Are you learning (mentored) from/by anyone?

Yay for upgrades! ..iPhone 47S anyone?!

I haven’t really gravitated toward anything new except

that Ive gone back to film recently. (not exclusively film).

I don’t have mentors, but I have several influences

that steer me in the direction for latest styles and such.

I LOVE my medium format camera. There’s something

about film that just feels organic. Even the images that

don’t turn out well are endearing. Even the “mistakes” or

“errors” with processing turn out to be beautiful.



I believe at the core of our

being we should be able to work in this

type of liberty. hHowever, society and

the economy are at odds with this. We

should be the keeper (BEE KEEPER,

hello, concept!) of our own schedule.

Not to justify chaos due to lack of self

discipline, instead... to freely GIVE

what we offer to the world by our own

individuality. I always thought as a child

that’s what made the world go around;

what I could bring to it.

You have a point. Great

photography isn’t always the

perfection of the shot. Often times it’s

capturing the nuance of the moment

in life’s little imperfections. So, tell

me about this “Mistaken Identitiy” of

who’s behind the image of what others

see, and those imperfactions which

are the reality of who we’ve already

accepted our work and selves to be.

I believe our art has a way of portraying

it to the masses. Hello. Let’s go global.

“HI, IM ERIC.”

You have no idea how perfect

that is for me. My day job is that I’m

a mailman. My best friend once

interviewed me to show the differences

in my daily life. when I clock in, I’m

no longer Eric. I am 02266278. I am

expected to be in the same place at

the same time every day. I wear the

same uniform daily. I walk the same

route daily. Its routine on top of routine.

On my days off, I’m Eric. I am an

artist. I’m ever expected to do the

same thing twice. I have no boss,

etc... I could point out the differences

all day. All letters and parcels are

square/cubed.. lots of 90 degree

angles. Can you say “boundaries?”

With photography, It feels like my work

is organic and free forming. I always

tell my clients that 90% of the work I do

is improvised. I never know what kind

of shoot I’ll be doing until the model

shows up with wardrobe. Then I go

through it all and determine a location,

look, etc. Which is the opposite from

the post office. Everything has a set

destination, route, schedule.

Also the drawing of the ant and

bee... the reason why I chose those as

the subjects was because they are the

blue collar workers of the insect world.

Round and round they go.

Ironically, they do get the most

done, don’t they. #productivity #results

#moversandshakers Curious. Are you left

or right handed and which personality

type would you say you are?


I’m ambidextrous. I do weird things with my hands.

Also I am both an inrovert and extrovert. Yep, I’m weird.

Weird is good! Ha ha, I am ambidextrious too.

I get that whole dichotomy. What are your preferred

social activities? #extrovert

I get privacy in my apt, but I can reach out and talk

to anyone. Or I’ll just go for a walk and let fate decide

whether something crosses my path or not. I attend

random events. Even things that I normally wouldn’t be

interested in. Shows, galleries, readings... I’m often just

a silent observer. Should someone approach me,

I could talk to them all night. People tend to keep

to themselves though.



Yes, there’s a lot to be said for

taking initiative and having the discipline to

make it come to fruition! So you are indeed

proactive, curious and driven!!

I feel that I am, yes.

You mentioned earlier.. about the

“several influences that steer me in the

direction for latest styles and such.” Who

are they and what are some of the most

impacting lessons you’ve gleaned from

knowing them?

I adore editorials. I’m constantly

sneaking peeks at catalogs (while at

work) and getting a feel for what’s new.

I love that store for 3 reasons. 1- their brand

is gorgeous. I get to grab a catalog and

browse through it. 2- The art in the displays

are often stunning. Beautiful installations. 3-

Every piece of furniture in Anthro is for sale.

Everything. The one here in Portland had a

porcelain table with a hole on one side. That

side was slightly lower than the other. the

hole was a drain, and the table was marked

as “vintage butcher table” A table that used

to be covered in pig’s blood now has shirts

neatly folded on it.

Anthropologie is probably my

biggest influence. They ARE lovely. Just

walking around the shops is like Disneyland

for Creatives!!Lastly, where DO you want to

be? How would this satiate your existence

and purpose in this space and time... (Do

you have plans at some point to curtail the

Mailman gig?)

Because of your job do you find

yourself to naturally be an early riser? Hence,

on your days off are you already out of bed

before the sun (to be domstically productive) or

do you save your social energies for at night?

I am VERY well trained to wake every

day at 5:30. I usually only get a handful of hours

each night. I only sleep about 5 hours or so.

Often until 1 or 2am, yes.

I saw on your TW that you are a

science enthusiast. (How can you NOT be!)

How does your perspective of life and mindset

towards the possibilities of all you can achieve

motivate you from days to years to come?

My perspective on life is that If I want

to be something, I have to work at it. It just won’t

happen on its own. So I can’t relax. I feel like I

constantly have to be working. Even while on

vacation, I have my caerma, and am constantly

looking for photos. That happens because

anytime I sit still, I feel like my mind is yelling

“THIS IS WHY YOU ARENT WHERE YOU WANT

TO BE, ERIC!”


Yes, my long-term goal with

photography is to not retire as a mailman.

the postal gig isn’t that bad. It pays well, its

honest labor. benefits But I didn’t grow up

dreaming to be a mailman. So it’s only SO

fulfilling. Both. My dream job would to be

something that could incorporate both my

illustrations with my photography (and get

paid for it).

As it should. HOLLAH!! Oh, now

how did you come to know Mike Larremore?

He’s the one who introduced us, after all.

A few years ago, he emailed me

and we met over a few drinks. We have

been friends ever since. He’s a funny guy.

Talented.

Coolio. How cool to know you both!

Finally, what is your beverage of choice?

Bourbon. I enjoy al the subtle

differences in bourbon. So many things

can change the outcome. I appreciate

the craft of it. I have 56 bottles in my apt.

I’m a collector. I actually have a pretty low

tolerance. You know who to contact.

Gosh... well you won’t be running

out soon! I think you’re ready for the Alcohol

Apocalypse!!! Haaa!! Well since you enjoy

it more power to ya! i say bottoms up on a

good intro & interview to boot, soldier! I’m

that way with makeup... but who’s counting

lipsticks and polish? LOL

By chance, are you a vinyl guy?

I have a record player and my dad’s records,

yes. I occasionally buy one if I find a keeper. Ive always

felt that my theme song is “5 o’clock world” by the

Vogues. The lyrics are so relevant to who I am.

Such a great song! So appropriate!! I am

totally picturing you walking (the mail) and skipping to

this song. LOL Oh how my mind conjures these things.

Thanks for your time, Eric! This has been better than

Bourban... for the creative soul. Smile for the camera!



In my five o’clock world, she waits for meNothing else matters at all‘Cause every time my baby smiles at meI know that it’s all worthwhile...


PHOTOGRAPHY



When you can photograph in natural light or in a studio setting, which one do you prefer more and why?

Do I have to choose one or the other? LOL. I love the beauty of what natural light provides, especially

during that amazing golden hour when it is so buttery and soft. Just illuminates so exquisitely what ever it is

I'm photographing. I am learning so much with studio lighting, and the ability to be creative with my shoots

as far as mood and feeling. In fact I've been experimenting more with using my studio lights in natural light

settings. Something about combining these together opens up endless possibilities.

What about the Bohemian culture made you want to use this as the theme for your shoot?

(I bet it was the cool clothes and all that natural light)

Yes! You hit the nail on the head! I have such a draw to the natural feel of the bohemian look. As Jenelle Gee

and I were pulling this shoot together, I was thinking, “where am I going to find wardrobe for this look?”

I began going through my closet, and there it all was! I was so surprised to realize how much I am a bohemian

woman at heart. The majority of the wardrobe for this shoot came from old clothes I have, down to the props

and jewelry. And, Jenelle has such a great look with her hair and free-spirited style, that it just came together

so naturally. When pulling our ideas together it all just fell into place.

From your website it shows many different styles of photography. Why did you want to venture into fashion

photography and what do you like most about it compared to the others?

My first and foremost passion is with pets. That is where my journey began with photography. A story for

another day. LOL I have been venturing into other genres of photography. I signed up for a local meet up group

whose emphasis was fashion. I immediately fell in love! I am drawn to the artistic creativity of it. It's so fun

to collaborate and try different ideas with looks, scenery, lighting and composition. I can keep it simple with

just the beauty of my model, or go to extremes with wardrobe, makeup, hair and backdrop. In fashion, I feel

I'm allowed to be expressive and stretch the boundaries that I might not normally have with my everyday clients.

You do portraits of pets, and in one of the photographs from "Bohemian Princess" you had a horse

in the background, what do you think animals bring/add to a photo?

I specialize in pet photography, but have fallen in love with the fashion side of imagery as well,

and constantly trying to find ways now of combining the two. In fact, it's become my obsession.

Animals bring such an unexpected quality to images. There's nothing staged generally. What you

get is authenticity when they are introduced into the story line of an image. It's the connection

between the model and the animal that brings the photograph to life. Then the viewer gets to

understand that relationship in their own way as well. I love the unexpected, and animals provide

me with an abundance of it!

You use to work in the corporate world. When was the moment you realized that photography

was something worth pursing full time?

I fell into photography through wanting to capture beautiful images of my dogs, never with the

intention of it becoming a business. I was still doing my corporate day job, and I truly thought

I was going to retire in the corporate world. But then, like for many others, the economy took a turn,

and I was laid off. As tough as it was at the time, it was like a blessing in disguise. I don't know that

I would have ever had the guts to just jump, and follow my heart. It was the push I needed. I took

some time to do a mentorship, workshops and practice practice practice before I felt comfortable

with making it an official choice to do professionally. I have never looked back however. Sometimes

fate happens, and fortunately I am now living the authentic life I was meant to.

You stated in your bio that you love the arts "whether it was

hands on and making it, or just appreciating the beauty of someone

else's creations." What other forms of art do you enjoy or partake in

besides photography?

I have always enjoyed the arts in some form or another.

I used to sing and dance in my room to show tunes! Ok...Still do!

I have expressed myself through writings such as poetry and short

stories. I have been known to draw and paint a little as well. Another huge

interest of mine is crafts. Yes, I'lll admit it. I am a craft geek! I love to make

cards and invitations for friends. I have a closet...ok, second bedroom

filled with all of my arts and crafts supplies to make cards and other crafty

things like bottles with jewels, pushpin boards and now items for photo

shoots. If there is something I can bling out, I will. It's an addiction. LOL95fashionfacesmag.com | #FFJUL14



You're still new to the photography world;

what is something you want to conquer

that you find challenging now?

Since I am still new to digital imagery,

I am constantly challenging myself to

learn and grow in general. Perfecting

my ability to understand light and

composition is an ongoing process.

Also, I am still trying to grow with my

animal imagery. I am continuing

to expand my portfolio to include

equine photography as well, and

would love to build a side of my

business to include a more artistic

look utilizing painterly applications

such as Corel. Digital painting is

a whole new world, and much harder

then it looks. If I can some how bring

animals, fashion and digital painting

all together, I am excited to see what

come up with going forward.

How has living in Sacramento influenced what and the way you shoot?

The beauty is, living in Sacramento provides limitless possibilities for

photography. We have such variety with backdrops and culture, that

lends to such a vast opportunity for experimentation. Where else has

the fine mix of urban and nature that Sacramento has? It's such a

blank canvas. I love that I can be doing a bohemian shoot one day

in beautiful fields with incredible golden light, and the next day

choose to do a more urban edgy shoot with an awesome cityscape

as my backdrop all within a couple of miles of the other. Also, I feel

so lucky that Sacramento has such a wonderful community of creative

individuals that I can learn from, partner with and create beautiful

imagery with. I couldn't ask for anything more!

jewelry entirely subverts

and transcends the whole idea of what jewelry

is supposed to be: each piece is a beautiful

and unique object—an original, inspired and

wonderful minimalist sculpture infused with

Taniguchi’s aesthetic signature.

Like the Japanese religion of Shinto, which

believes that everything has a unique spirit

and essence, Taniguchi’s work is infused with

a sense, spirit and essence that surpasses

mere decoration and costume. To possess

one of her distinctive pieces is in many ways

a spiritually uplifting experience! Certainly,

there is the sense that each of her perfectly

created and highly individual designs are

instilled with a certain very positive karma.


Each object is entirely rare: one-of-a-kind

treasures created with the very Japanese

concept of craftsmanship and aesthetic

perfection. There is also an extreme playfulness

at work, making it irresistibly adorable and

utterly addictive!

In a world driven by marketing and branding

and the often vulgar dictates of fashion and

trends, it is quite exceptional to find someone

like Taniguchi, who seems to be entirely and

wonderfully untouched by any of this! She

occupies her own unique space in her equally

unique and creative world. The only other

person I can think of who shares this rarity

and originality is the wonderful London based

French jewelry designer, Maud Traon!

This month I thought you might all

like a taste of a little Mediterranean

magic! Because summer’s here and

it’s time to get online check out

those travel sites and start thinking

about that perfect dream vacation!

And most important, what to wear

on that special dream trip! Because

your vacation destination, where

you choose to go (and indeed don’t

go!) Is as much of a fashion & style

choice as what you wear!

There are of course a million

destinations to choose from, some

beautiful magical and romantic!

Others a disappointing overpriced

dog’s breakfast of fast food packaged

tourism, designed to simply relieve

you of your hard earned money!

I have been fortunate enough to

travel all over the world, and to live in

a number of countries including the

USA (NYC and San Francisco).

However as much as so many places

have their beautiful adventurous,

romantic, memorable sides and

moments! The Caribbean, for

example! Particularly Jamaica where

I have some wonderful memories

(many of which I could not discuss

here!) Brazil, where I lived for some

time! And the truly mind blowing

wonderful magical Japan! (and

China!). I am going to focus on two

or three absolutely ‘must see and


The Greek Islands though are a beautiful and romantic paradise!

However having said this, there are still guidelines, for in the

summer months when most people travel, you need to avoid the

main tourist beat! This can easily be done by a good look online

at ‘Trip Advisor’!

‘must go to’ destinations, which

are in ever sense amongst the

most beautiful magical dream-

like inspiring places in the world!

These are Greece & Morocco!

When I say Greece however,

I mean the Greek Islands! Not

Athens! Athens should definitely

be avoided, particularly in the

summer, when it’s an absolute

nightmare!



Highly recommended is a bit of ‘Island Hopping’! Excellent and

extremely affordable ferry services run between all the Islands!

Indeed some of the Islands are so close together that you could

almost swim between them! (Well, Lord Byron did!)


Greek food is amazing, and addictively delicious! Greek food though should

only be eaten in Greece, for only then do you experience the true ‘sensual

magic’ of what is a terminal food orgasm! And, to wake up in the morning, then

find a small café where you can breakfast on fresh Greek Yoghourt, honey and

fruit, as you gaze languidly out over the most beautiful scenery and sea, you

have ever seen, is food for the senses! The ‘colours’ landscape and sea in

Greece are legendary, and has inspired poets and artists for centuries! From

classical Greek culture, to Lord Byron’s romantic adventures, you can soak up

the soft gentle soothing vibrations!



There are, as I have said, many islands! Santorini is beautiful,

and is the sight of the legendary Atlantis! To stand on the

mountain top of Santorini, in the beautiful pure white town,

and look out over the beautiful mind blowing scenery, is to

loose yourself in a truly unforgettable timeless magic! If you

want a little more ‘fizz’ with your yoghurt, then try Mykonos,

this though is the destination of choice for the global gay

community! So although wonderfully colourful cool and

stylish! Not necessarily relaxing for those looking for a more

chilled out environment! Crete and Rhodes, are larger islands,

and away from the main tourist drag, exceptionally beautiful!

My recommendation though, is the beautiful island of

Kos! This is a stunningly beautiful destination! Kos is a

small island, not far from the Turkish coast, with wonderful

scenery beautiful flowers and greenery everywhere! Go to

the northern less touristy side of the island, and you will see

some of the most beautiful soft white sandy beaches and

crystal sea, found anywhere in the world! (But avoid the

‘British Invasion’ in July & August!) Kos is very popular with

naturalists and very clean, with a backdrop of beautiful sand

dunes and mountains! So if you are looking for a perfect

magical romantic holiday that you will never forget, choose

the Greek Island! As for clothes! As you will see in the photo

images! Dress down not up! Soft loose cool and stylish!

No high heels, not ever! So start checking out the shops

for those beautiful soft floaty summer items, and book that

ticket now! (By the way, don’t forget the sun blocker, and

don’t worry about the language! Everyone in Greece speaks

English, and they are all exceptionally friendly and helpful!

The next tip is possibly one of the most amazingly beautiful

and romantic destinations in the world! Morocco! And

particularly the truly magical cities of Marrakech and Fez!

(And don’t worry about going to a Moslem Country! Morocco

is one of the friendliest safest countries in the world!)

Both of these destinations will seriously blow the mind

of anyone who is of a romantic persuasion, and both

are a total trip for the senses! Indeed both these cities

should be a must see on not only your holiday hit list,

but also in your life experience!

Marrakech is a truly legendary city, immortalized of

course in the famous song by Crosby Stills & Nash!

(‘Marrakech Express’)! And everything you can ever

imagine, dream and fantasize, you will find there!

Which is why it was and is a favourite destination for

artists, writers, actors and the cooler rock/pop stars! In

the 60’s, everybody from the Rolling Stones, to William

Burroughs and Yve Saint Laurent would hang out in

there! And you will still see a lot of the cooler faces

from the fashion/style/music/art/film world! Grooving

on the magical Marrakech vibes!

The large main square of Marrakech ‘Jemaa El

Fna’! Is mind blowing, and wonderfully exotic! It’s

surrounded by cafés and bars, and the action is at

night! You just sit in a first floor café balcony sipping

mint tea, eating delicious ‘Couscous’, and watching

the snake charmers, jugglers, Berber tattoo girls etc

You can disappear into the huge Medina Souk, and investigate

the wonderful and enticing delights that are on sale there! Stay

in a traditional Riad, cheap, and pleasurable in the extreme!

Wander along the maze of passageways, and don’t worry! It’s

perfectly safe! Moroccan people are very friendly, but will all try

to sell you something, including ‘Kif Kif’!

What to wear? What to buy? Keep it loose simple floppy and

cool! Pure Mind/India Style/Yohji Yamamoto! Soft Indian

Clothing, Flat Sandals! Scarfs etc! And Morocco is paradise

for terminal shopping junkies! The jewellery is wonderful and

cheap (see photo’s), also traditional clothes , scarves etc, you

can build the most amazingly cool and ultra boho stylish looks!,

that will kill them in De Moins!!!!!!! And when you buy! You must

haggle over the price! It’s expected, and part of the fun! So be

shameless!

And while checking out the exotic pleasures and delights of

Marrakech and dressing up like a 21st century Anita Palenburg

(that’s the look!!) Who was both Brian Jones & Keith Richards

girlfriend in the 60’s! You must (that’s MUST!) spend a couple

of days chilling out and being ultra cool, in the Atlas Mountains!

The Ksar Shama & Spa in Quirgane, is on of the most beautiful

and mind blowing places I have ever been in my whole life!


Time stops, in this truly wonderful Berber style hotel way up in the

mountains! Chill out round the incredible pool, surrounded by the most

spectacular views and scenery you have ever seen! So with a few days

of this and Marrakech! Any stress tension and worries, will be completely

dissolved, and you can ‘Turn On! Tune In & Drop Out, and float around

being ultra cool, in the trippiest boho looks you can ever imagine! Just

‘Digging The Vibes’!!!

And after all this seriously wonderful ‘Mind Candy’! You can head off to Fez

for few days magic in the old city of Fez!

Always (ALWAYS) travel ‘Off Season’! (This applies everywhere!) First of

all it’s far cheaper, and secondly you will not be surrounded by thousands

of stressed out tourists melting in the high summer heat! Avoid at all costs

June/July/August! Best times are: May/Late September/October!

Why people choose to come to Europe etc., in these absurdly over priced

mid summer months, swelter in the heat, and spend their time trudging

around cities looking at museums etc., is beyond me! Forget this torture!

Head for the Greek Islands and Morocco for the most amazing and

affordable vacations you have ever had! (and the coolest looks and ultra

shopping nirvana!). But be warned! You’re seriously gonna max out that

excess baggage!


Bad Trips!

And Seriously Uncool Destinations! Definitely NOT for the

stylish! So Avoid At All Costs (whatever you have heard!)

• SPAIN: COSTA DEL SOL, IBIZA, MAJORCA -

Nightmare of trashy resorts (and people) High Rise

Blocks/Hotels spread along the sea front!

And the most appalling food!)

• GREECE: ATHENS - A large overcrowded

claustrophobic uncomfortable city! But great food!

• USA: LAS VEGAS, MIAMI - Trashy, vulgar, loud! Miles

and miles of high rise blocks and neon overkill! Plus the

most unbelievably absurd and badly dressed people!

• THAILAND - A package holiday nightmare!

Simply awful now, and full of the tourists from hell!

• BALI - Same as above

• Any major cities in Europe, the USA in high summer!

• DUBAI - Miami & Las Vegas from hell! If you like

the idea of holidaying in a giant shiny shopping mall,

with appallingly tasteless architecture, this is for you!

(and Rod Stewart)

• PARIS - Sadly a shadow of it’s former glory!

Dirty, disappointing and easy to get mugged!

• RIO DE JANEIRO - A total nightmare even worse

than Miami (don’t believe the hype!).

Must Go! Cities (off-season only)

• LONDON - In the world, still the coolest most unique

and cosmopolitan city.

• BERLIN - The second coolest city in the world right now!

• KYOTO (JAPAN) - Beautiful! Amazing!

• BEIJING (NEVER SHANGHAI!) - Beijing is a great

destination! But avoid high summer at all costs! Best time

is October!

Hot Tips!

• COMINO - A very small island just off Malta! No roads,

only one hotel! It’s paradise! Comino is a nature reserve,

only reached via a regular boat service from Malta, which

takes around half an hour! The views are spectacular!

Forget all those Caribbean Islands! This is an absolute

treasure! And for all those into diving and snorkelling,

it’s definitely destination Number 1! And for painters

and photographers, the ultimate in creative karma and

inspiration!

• For all of you outside the USA: Forget NYC/L.A etc.!

Head for the South West! Beautiful desert vistas, cactus,

sun sand and endless highways! Seriously beautiful!

Definitely the new ‘cool school’ destination, for visitors to

the US! Start at Phoenix and just head out on the highway!

So start checking those online travel sites...

TeleText Holidays are an excellent to what’s available!

And get ready for the trip of a lifetime!

is a photographer specializing

in Landscape, Fashion, and Portrait Photography.

Because of his passions in art, fashion, architecture,

design, and music, his signature style is composed

of energetic imagery juxtaposed with simple but

powerfully emotive elements. He was born in

Singapore and having lived in a cosmopolitan hotspot

there for many years, coupled with his extensive

travels around Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe

and the US, his photographs sometimes boast of

multicultural motifs while pushing certain cultural and

artistic boundaries.

Photography has been Herman’s lifelong hobby,

but it was only in 2011 that he became serious in

Fashion and Portrait Photography after formally

attending workshops to learn the traits of this

field. He supplements such training by reading

up books to improve his knowledge, and constant

experimentation with models on a pro bono basis.

Photography is Herman’s calling, and it is the thing

which drives him insane in a positive way. He wrestles

with every image in his unique approach and always

brings out unique qualities of the images in every

possible way. As crazy as it might sound, he loves the

dramatic feel in his work.

Herman has travelled around the world for

assignments including Los Angeles, Amsterdam,

Singapore, London, Paris, and Madrid. His work has

been published in online magazines such as VOGUE.

it, M&M Modeling Magazine LLC Chicago, Institute

Magazine, Fashionablymale, Elegant Magazine, Come

to Island, and Beautiful Mag. Despite some of these

accolades, Herman maintains a caring and humble

disposition, and a professionalism that makes him easy

to work with.

Herman currently lives with his partner and their two

Scottish West Highland Terriers in The Netherlands.

die Bildmarke (Herzdiamant), patentrechtlich geschützt.

Zuvor auf die Anfertigung von Einzelstücken spezialisiert,

wurde im Jahr 2010 erstmals eine kleine Prêt-à-porter

Kollektion veröffentlicht.

Die Musterung findet im eigenen Hause statt, produziert

wird in Deutschland.

Zum Einsatz kommen ausschließlich hochwertige, wertvolle

Materialien wie Leder, Seide, Wolle und innovative Mischgewebe.


schneiderte aus Passion von klein auf, arbeitete

anfangs in einem Maßatelier und entschloss sich

dann für eine Ausbildung zur Damenschneiderin,

die sie mit Erfolg abschloss und die ihr eine

Auszeichnung der Stadt Freiburg wegen

herausragender Leistung einbrachte.

Im Anschluss arbeitete sie für verschiedene

Mode-Labels und finanzierte so ihre Ausbildung

zur Schneidermeisterin die sie im Jahr 2000

abschloss.

Aufgrund ihrer Abschlussarbeiten im Fach

Design/Modezeichnen sowie der Meistermappe

wurde ihr ein Studienplatz an der Universität

für Textil und Design in Reutlingen angeboten,

stattdessen aber gründete sie 2004 ihr Label

AVIATRIX.

Ihre Inspiration bekommt sie meist aus den

Stil-Epochen vergangener Zeiten, die sie dann

mit modernen Elementen vereint. Ihr Faible für

die Kombination scheinbar gegensätzlicher

Materialien wie z.B. Leder mit zarter Seide

kommt oft in ihren Entwürfen zum Tragen.

Der Stil von AVIATRIX ist sehr verspielt,

extravagant und detailverliebt. Es wird grossen

Wert auf die Passform, die Wandlungsfähigkeit

und den Komfort der einzelnen Styles gelegt.

Das Ziel ist, hochwertige, individuelle Looks

herzustellen, die Spaß machen, tragbar sind und

sich vom “Modeketten-Mainstream” abheben.

AVIATRIX veröffentlicht zur Zeit 2x jährlich

(Frühling/Sommer und Herbst/Winter)

Kollektionen mit aufregenden Partyoutfits und

Kleidern, extravaganter Streetwear sowie dazu

passende Accessoires wie Gürtel, Handtaschen

und Handschuhe.
