Daria Strokous & Elmo (in) Model’s Raw Moments

Times Square, July 2011 - After the Express FW 11.12 fashion show, Daria and I made some photos together. Elmo was also in Times Square last night, and Daria loves Elmo… So I snapped a picture of them together. Daria and I would like to share this raw moment with you all!

Daria is just one of the sweetest and kindest models I have ever met. Adding to that, she is also one of the classiest women I have ever encountered in my life. In the past year, I have grown so much from an academic nerd who got randomly caught up shooting candids because he was just enchanted and fascinated by all the excitement that was fashion week to someone who is genuinely interested and working in this high fashion industry now, Daria is a part of a very select few that continues to make me feel like this dream is worth it! Simply because no matter what I was doing, Daria showed kindness to me. She’s A+!

Also, Daria will be in the movie Contagion. She told me that she had a lot of fun working on the project. Can’t wait to see Miss Strokous on the big screen!

Mariya Melnyk (in) IMG Models

Meet Mariya from Ukraine in her first street style photo! Now represented by IMG Models worldwide, she just landed in NYC. As soon as I saw her face, I knew I had to grab some pictures. She is a very sweet girl with a delicate grace. Unbelievably fresh, she has the “it” factor! There is no doubt because her chemistry with my camera was on point. Simply perfection!

Jourdan Dunn (in) Models, NYFW SS 2011

After Anna Sui, Jourdan as always stopped and smiled. She is such a genuinely nice person. I was convinced by her as soon as we met. And yes, the British accent does get most American-bred boys like me to get our hearts pumping…

Barbara is an absolute sweetheart!

And she wanted to make sure I captured her leg tattoo after the show to share with everyone! It states:“letting my heart do the thinking.”
