MODELS, STREETSTYLE, BEAUTY & SMILES IN THE CONCRETE JUNGLES OF NYC AND BEYOND
"Beauty may capture this photographer's attention, but personality will always steal this man's heart."
Bonae L'amour features mostly photos of high fashion models in the streets, on the runways, or backstage. This is the cult go-to blog for raw inspirations for the models, beauty, streetstyle, and fashion obsessed. [more info]
I am a lover of vibrant and lively colors, but many times, stories are more powerful in black and white. A Moment Named Desire is my collection of photo essays on fashion, culture, and entertainment in different shades of grey.

After Giles SS 2012, I shot some “contagious smiles” photos of Kelly. I love her! Kelly is my lion princess mixed with Little Miss Sunshine because she has such a great personality… <3
Kristina Romanova & Juju Ivanyuk (in) After Shiatzy Chen SS 2012
This is one of the sweetest moments ever from the recent Paris Fashion Week! How cute are Kristina and Juju?!? I love seeing the girls happy and smiling! It is so contagious! =)
To me, this is beauty in its purest form! After Moschino SS 2012, Irina was just the most beautiful sight to brighten my day that morning! There is nothing comparable to seeing a personal favorite of yours coming out of a show and consistently being gracious and friendly - and for a short moment, gives you her undivided attention and the most earnest smile. How kind was she to ask her driver to wait a minute for a special photo opportunity/project that will be shared later! There is just a natural rhythm that we have shared for 3 seasons now. Ahhh, Miss Kulikova, thank you for never disappointing! You are just simply one-of-a-kind! <3
I love snapping Karmen’s smile! She remains a sweetheart through and through… I had some troubles snapping a street photo of her earlier because of this incident, but I really appreciated the fact that Karmen stuck around to make sure I was okay. =)
The sweet Aline is just a bundle of sun shines every time that I see her! I find her to be breathtakingly beautiful but her personality makes her just magnificent!
