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.
