June Edition

     When you think of the month June what do you think of ? Me, I think of summer days and air conditioned nights. I think about the outdoors and the hot beautiful sun. I think about everybody energy on high. The surroundings just sound louder than the regular day. Summer nights, and the concern about the next cool breeze. June is allergy season and everybody gotta sneeze, but we stay outside anyway. The kids become antsy so you take them to the zoo. We play in the park on the slide and jungle gym. The kids fight to play in the sprinklers an who could push who on the swing. June is exciting, different and brand new. Every year you promise yourself something better. Well, this year you guys have no clue. T.Renee turned June out introducing these distinguishing fashion geniuses. These fashion innovators have talent unspoken of. They bring life to the fashion industry. After today I cannot and will not look at fashion or style  the same way. I'm humbled and appreciative to have been able to work with both the designer duo Keiko and Khari as well as model Mateo. In this great month of June, magic has been created.

 June started off with a Bang! I couldn't let it die down the Creative Chaos has been consistent . Today was the definition of a beautiful summer Sunday. The type where your happy you don't have work and you just want to play. The day where you gather with your people and try and forget tomorrow's Monday. T.Renee decided to head out anyway on this glorious summer day, my work became my play.

In this June Edition Photo Shoot we are introducing designer Keiko and Khari and model Mateo through the lens of Ipave. The scheduled 1pm shoot actually begun that evening around 6pm. With the Puerto Rican day parade and life's distractions we still had to complete our creative chaos. With designer Kieko  and Khari based out of Harlem my morning started out on the A train heading uptown.

 'Keiko & Khari-Two artists traveled the world;some of the same places,but at different times have connected in one of the greatest cities in the world -Harlem.The blackenese duo has designed a unique and stylish line of clothing -Keiko & Khari. No capsule collection for these newbies; Keiko &Khari presented a sixty piece collection'

Kieko and Khari Japanese inspired pieces were a perfect fit for Mateo on this Sunday. I saw a warrior prince as he begun to shoot. That's what a keiko and khari piece will do. It strengthens and gives you a sense of survival and passion. It breaks the barriers of ethnicity and gender. These pieces are inspired by the melting pot of NYC.  

    Model Mateo came out to us not knowing where exactly we were located but he had no concern in the world. So humble and ready for whatever. He brought a calm to the setting. Without a hesitation Mateo begun to deliver breathe taking shot one after the other . Even with Mosquitoes coming at us left and right photographer Vee wouldn't let Mateo out of his sight. He made sure he captured the model and the man. 

We spoke briefly as he changed. He might be traveling to Paris again. So I asked inquiring about the beauty and the feel. "It felt like Money, if you know what I mean" I knew exactly what he meant even though I've never been.He reminded me of a canvas he was something like art with Keiko and Khari as painters. I was excited and ecstatic from the start.  Standing tall and confident I was intrigued. We wanted to recreate a man emerging from off of a scene. Now this couldn't be no ordinary scene we had to capture his strength and his magical ability to create a masterpiece in front of a lens.

With our flash on low and the sun setting we knew we had to capture more magic and capture it quick. So Mateo emerged out of the wilderness. He had the look the face and the poise everything came across strong. Kieko and Khari's tweed embroidered jacket vest had details that would pass any fashion test. With couture details and hand paintings on the back, this you can tell is a Keiko and Khari signature piece. With a step and pause he kept moving in the right direction he made this shoot turn into a entire different situation "when are we shooting again" that's all I wanted to know. We needed more time (and some bug repellent )but Mateo kept on the go.

 

We begun to wrap up, just couldn't fight against the light and bugs anymore. We packed up with a sense that there will be something more a definite continuation for sure. Its as though we all felt the same way, we just created magic on this summer Sunday. The creativity just flowed so freely, nobody had to give direction hardly. Mateo picked up exactly what we wanted to deliver, Keiko and Khari made me a true believer that fashion can create a scene and build it your way.With a vision in mind we made sure to capture it that day. To Keiko and Khari Thank You so much for your time and allowing us to shoot your amazing collection. Mateo you already know your complete magic bro. iPave I must say you did it again.

Half Way Through The Year

      I woke up to the birds chirping and singing a song. The message was loud and  clear and I couldn't wait long. We had to shoot and we had to shoot Now. It was Monday June 3 that's what my calendar said. Half way into this great new year, New York city never felt so real, alive,full of vibrations, energy and drive. As I sat outside once again in my loving Brooklyn surroundings. I observed the actions and reactions of the people passing by. They want action they too want something new. So I decided to give them something, something they were looking for. 

The city was hot and busy. It was right at lunch time. Once again we took to the streets. The models were ready and never skipped a beat. The sun greeted them with every shot. The cars zipped pass and the cab drivers were confused but the photographer captured every moment and became very amused. He took shot after shot and never looked away. The sun became his good friend on this day. The city was live and the ideas were born. 

We knew exactly what  we had to do, we had to play in traffic now think about it, wouldn't you. 

       Model Pierre Noel had no fear as long as he looked good in his tailor made suit he was up for the cause. He brought so much energy to each of his shots. Even standing still he said a whole lot. I was amazed at all his techniques. 

 We continued to plot and plan. Then we saw an amazing opportunity that we couldn't resist the cops wouldn't mind. We were creating magic. We went ahead with the plan.

 Photographer Vee continued to grasp, magic shot after shot.Even though she looked so calm and cool my model Imara was concerned about the cops. So we created a scene and turned it all around.

He became a detective and we wanted something more. We were going to wrap up and move to another location but before we did we had to elevate, as the corporate onlookers watched and had their lunch we lifted our models and took a good  look around "they need to get up off the ground."

        This shot made me excited we had to go. "Lets move lets go". The business suit against the cool calm denim made me see that contrast is needed and does very well. Everywhere we turned became magic and everyone waited to see. They were probably late punching back in but it was a sight to see.

      This Shoot had no designer but the clothing provided were simple yet so powerful. From a colorful tank and distressed denim jean they made every move look like a breeze . The denim top on Imara shouted I'm comfortable yet strong. Together it made a statement. In everyday life pick what you want to serve, but serve it up right. The models brought confidence to each shot. Grasping the life around them, now that's powerful and hott. This was another amazing shoot. It made everyone looking get a glimpse inside the T.Renee Creative Chaos and maybe, just maybe made them feel a little bit better inside. We love what we do and we continue to grow. Thank You for your time and look out for the T.Renee website coming soon.We appreciate you.

Memorial Day Photo-Shoot

                                   Designer:Noah Edwards and Models 

The beautiful skies on memorial day was our first sign that we were going to experience an amazing shoot. As we headed out to one of Brooklyn's known areas, downtown Brooklyn in the Dumbo area, the motivation and inspiration over poured and the energy was on super high, we had to take this shoot outdoors.



Full of vibration and fresh with color and style designer  Mr Noah Edwards came through with his glorious master pieces. From the very start Noah's precise designs had my jaws dropping. " Is it Velvet"!? We were so amazed by his choice in fabric for the first eye opener. The outstanding velvet short suit set fit model Imara perfectly as if it were custom made.

Model:Imara Howze












As our director and chief editor of cool people magazine 
Howard Tomlinson  scouted out the beautiful Brooklyn area the shoot continued on with one cutting edge shot after the other.
Director: Howard Tomlinson

We worked as a team as if we were at this for years. We moved together ,shared visions and flushed out ideas and improvised while staying in sync.


 Creative director Baghdad Brooke created mind blowing, methodical visionary ideas the models complied and ran with it, it became magical.

Model: K Nikki Franklin

The models worked every piece of clothing . They brought every inch of fabric and fiber to life. They were risky and classy all in the same shot. They understood the clothing and communicated Noah's vision clearly. 



Each model brought their own character to their outfit and trained the photographers eye to grasp their individual skill and talent.
