So what on earth does “Anti-Vanilla” mean? Well, I am glad you asked :)
I met with Brittany (the model) a few weeks back and I was asking her a handful of questions about our upcoming shoot. This is customary as I want to make sure that my shoot doesn’t stink and I miss the mark on what my client wants.
So Brittany shows me her comp card and says that she wants to do something “different,” something a bit more “edgy” than she is used to. I take a look at her card and say “these images are very nice and Vanilla.” So we brain storm a bit more about a theme and the phrase “Anti-Vanilla” comes out of my mouth. We both liked it and off we went.
Here are a few images from our shoot. I love this industrial area in the West Loop. It had the perfect look and feel of what Brittany wanted. I had a really great time with Brittany. She is a very professional young lady and came to the shoot with ideas and energy. I also want to thank Oscar, my art-school homeboy, and assistant for the day. It was pretty rad working together with him.
This last image was pure gangsta’ fun. I am glad that Brittany and Oscar were willing to pose with me.

I created a preset for this last image. I thought this image would be perfect for a thug/edgy/desaturated look. Give it a try and let me know how you used this preset.
