Designer Justin LeBlanc is known for being on Project Runway. For me he is known as the designer who is using new 3D technology to create fashion. I'm not going to lie -  It is exciting to see the project runway video in the background with my image set in the foreground...... 

Thank you for 'upping' my fashion street cred Style & Justin.

5th Anniversary Cover - Charlotte Style Magazine

5th Anniversary Cover - Charlotte Style Magazine

It is with pure excitement...  I announce I received the 5th Anniversary cover of Charlotte Style Magazine. To have my photo chosen as this cover is slightly mind numbing. It was released during several important times in fashion but most important a 5th Anniversary cover is a complete surprise. Its a complete humbling surprise to be chosen as the photographer gracing the cover of Charlotte Style Magazine. 

If you follow my blog you will know Style and I have a crush on each other. What you don't know is once the image leaves my hands I have no clue what will make the cut. I often add a wild card to the finals when submitting and hope a card is played and it was. To me this is a very important time in fashion..... compound being the anniversary cover released during fashion week... to be part of this fashion buzz is pure excitement.

The purpose of this collection is to document my adventure allowing you to join my life as a working photographer. If you follow my adventure during CFW but prefer to see images first follow Style Media chances are good I will be a few hours behind.

Recently I shot work of  stylist & celebrity television personality Rashon Carraway for Style Media LLC. Rashon was a lot of fun to work with. He is extremely detail oriented and that's how someone lands on the Nate Berkus show and what makes him a dream to work with. It was a pleasure to shoot his work and to have my work represented by Style Media LLC.

Charming Charleston - Charleston, South Carolina

Charming Charleston - Charleston, South Carolina

Thanks to Style Media for scheduling this shoot and publishing my editorial in both Charlotte Style Magazine and Carolina Style Magazine. Additional phrases goes to Vendue Inn for use of your interior. You will notice the Charlotte Style 8pg. spread above large to show the 'in print' (left) and 'master' (right) and just below the final 6pg. spread in Carolina Style. 

What a great shoot and shoot team. My subjects were pretty special too. Anna Lassiter is also a designer who has shown during Charleston Fashion Week. She is quite a public figure as well in Charleston as she was stopped on the street for a few hellos. Jay Byars is on the current season of Survivor on CBS. I did tune in for 15 mins to discover he cleans up well and know Jay can keep a secret. I tried to find out who won and basically he cant discuss one word but it was fun trying. 

Thank You

Oh What ...My Oscar Photo Hit The News - Style Media launches Carolina Style

Oh What ...My Oscar Photo Hit The News - Style Media launches Carolina Style Magazine

Wow Im stunned and still excited when I see this set of images. It was a true privilege to document a private interview with the EIC of  Style Media & Oscar de la Renta. To be honest it was a lot of self imposed pressure and still a fashion high to this day... Oh Oscar you were so nice, the entire experience was so cool and if I had a hint of being nervous it quickly vanished after all I was in good hands with my EIC & Oscar. 

With that said.... Style Media grew and launched a new magazine titled Carolina Style. I will post additional great news for me w/ Style Media & Carolina Style as all of this has been such a sweet surprise its actually hard to wrap my head around the excitement... so until then look I photographed a private interview with Oscar de la Renta and it was included in a news package.. WOW 

Watching Documentary & Jaw Drops

Watching Documentary & Jaw Drops

I had the privilege of attending a Vogue Photographers Party during Fashions Night Out New York. To my complete shock I was asked to photograph Estelles Ebanks. Yes the Victoria Secrets model and was asked to supply the images as soon as possible. So once I returned to my computer that evening I was on it to return the finals to Estelles camp. I also received email from the other subjects camp requesting images. Ok so that's fine but I was requested to shoot a famous model by her camp so that approval was first. What I did not know was who she was with. I had no clue her friend was Kevin Liles Executive Vice President Warner Music Group. So when his camp asked for the image I asked they wait for final image approval from Estelles camp.... YES keep in mind I could have googled his name, I could have dropped the loyalty to the person who asked me to shoot, I could have done so many things if I knew who he was but knowing this and thinking about it now I would not have changed a thing..I have him listed in my phone as Kevin NYC PR... Yes I have the info and I would place hard cold cash that his camp thinks Im crazy for not releasing prior to Estelles camp but my hope is if they remember this they laugh about it and also think of my loyalty to a subject. With that said I was watching a Jay-Z documentary and this is when my jaw dropped and I could not stop laughing at this "Classic Erin" move.... That move would be part of my motto "shoot and move along, people are people"... So my public statement 

Dear Mr. Liles, 

As you are aware I covet a subjects privacy and would like to photograph your friend Jay-Z. I would like to keep it raw and document Mr. Z in black and white in the city. I will make myself available to his schedule and yours if desired. Thank you in advance for your time.

Again it is a privilege to shoot runway and I thank Charlotte Style/Style Media for having me cover this amazing event.... Charleston Fashion Week... OK it was so pretty... it actually gives New York Fashion Week a run for its money, I know this because I shot that too.... Amazing right, I'm so lucky.... Thank you for your time... E

Photo Shoot in Charleston with Clothing Pulled from the Runway of Charleston Fashion Week 2012

Photo Shoot in Charleston with Clothing Pulled from the Runway of Charleston Fashion Week 2012

Its hard to explain how grateful I am when it comes to my photography and shooting with amazing people. Ive had a crazy run and every turn seems to leave me knowing if it all ends tomorrow its been a fun ride. 

I had a shoot in Charleston for Style Media and the talent in front of me held a few cards... One of the models is a designer and is part of Charleston Fashion Weeks history and very well known... she was stopped on the streets ... talk about cool and the second model is on the reality tv show Survivor but will not say if he won.... my hope is he does so vote & cheer for Jay... I would also like to add the MUA/Hair Stylist was amazing.. she on site did amazing work it as crazy... Then the two stylists for the shoot jammed it out including pulled right off the runway from Charleston Fashion Week... It was amazing to see what I just shot on the runway in front of me... To be honest when one item walked I thought of what I could do with that & did it was so cool to have my random thoughts happen... I also had my publisher & assistant by my side to cheer and help me... 

News travels fast... the next day in the Charleston Fashion Week Media Room one of the main coordinators knew I/style media had a shoot with fashion pulled from the runway... So the lesson is ... fashion as vast as it is really is a small community always be good.....So random I know I'm not a writer so the final visuals will hit April 14th at the release party

Porter Grey - Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week

Porter Grey - Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week

My first shoot during Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week was Porter Grey. It was about 9:30ish in the morning in a room called the box. So standing in the photographers line I thought what will this runway be like. Doors open and it's really a box. Loved the setup and the wild mix of viewers/reviewers/photographers. What you will see above is a second round of images. The setup was standing then they left to reentered at the top and hustled out. It was a smart use of space and time for showing the garments. It was a very personal approach as you really could walk up and spend the amount of time desired viewing. The background was white to sell the product and each subject stood like a mannequin 

You will view tight head shots of the subjects to show the makeup and accessories, the room setup with the guests and photographers and then Porter Grey.... WHAT Porter Grey are two people and not one well how cool is this.  Thank you Style Media for a great assignment out of the gate for NYFW... it was a lot of fun!
