Its just been a crazy year for my own personal success resulting in celebrity Instagram followers, a message from an actor from The Walking Dead (one of my favourite...
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to get my hands on the very gorgeous face of model Rachelle Rogue. I have followed Rachelle’s work for a while on social media and absolutely love her distinctive model look. I was delighted to find out that she liked my work too so we were introduced to each other by photographer Nelly Nelson of BigFoto Photography. Nelly has worked with Rachelle numerous times and I worked with Nelly only a short time ago for the first time and loved the results of the photoshoot so we arranged the shoot for last Thursday and enlisted the assistance of...
