Event Photography- Travis Porter Concert=Yung Joc Brawl

Another throwback event I felt was blog worthy was a a fan appreciation concert turned bad.
"Travis Porter joined forces with XXL Magazine to present the “Fan Appreciation Concert:A Giving Celebration“. This was free concert honoring community leaders that have been an inspiration to the youth. Toy bikes were given out, which definitely wasn’t a problem until Yung Joc and his Swag TEAM affiliates showed up to save the day ( sarcastic voice). First of all, there were like 3000 people on stage; bad idea. Joc got super upset when they cut his performance short, which triggered one of about four fights that night. This all equates to the possibility of those bikes being used as weapons to crack somebodies head open, which thank GOD didn’t happen, but with all that pride floating through the air, I’m sure satan could’ve snow boarded right on into the conversation." -Kontrol Blog

Event Photography - Kandi's Masquerade Party

Friday night we had the opportunity to attend a masquerade party hosted by Bravo's Housewife, and former Xscape member Kandi. Originally I thought Kandi randomly rented this boutique for her masquerade party just as another event around Halloween, but the truth is much more impressive. This event was held in celebration of her one year anniversary of her store Tags located in Smyrna. Kandi encouraged her guests to have a good time with plenty of dancing (including pole dancing), good food, and she even provided little gift bags.

I attended with my three friends from left to right, Julian Lark (Editor and Chief of Kontrol Magazine), Casting Director Esquire, and Angela Mincey (Lifestyle and Articles Editor for Kontrol) who holds up her Tags gift bags. Check out Kontrol blog on Kandi's Event.

Kandi ensured the party maintained its energy by joining in dancing and even performing a few of her own hits.

This random lady surprised me in her classy attire by expertly jumping on the pole in this prom like dress. I never seen anything like it, but I was impressed and had to share it with you all.

Event Photography - Bare Chest for breast cancer

October 28 Ebony Steele, radio personality from the 107.9 Rickey Smiley morning show, hosted Bare Chest for Breast Cancer. The event featured Atlanta's most popular male models from athletes to actors, students to entrepreneurs all in the name of charity. The venue was at Opera Nightclub, one of Atlanta's upscale night clubs located in midtown. Ebony's event is intended to be a fun and entertaining way to bring young women together and highlight awareness of social needs. I arrived early enough to choose the best seat in the house, and watch Ebony vigorously pound the models to be on top of their parts.

Early in the show TI made an appearance in support of his friend Ebony. Before he came on stage, we were both backstage merely feet away and I did not even recognize him. Fortunately my seat in the audience was located closest to the stage so I was still able to get very close shots.

Here is a small project I created for myself of my 3 amazing nieces. I decided this year I would create illustrations of them starting with my oldest niece who birthday is in October. This means I have to wait til next year to illustrate my youngest niece Krista already past. In the picture above is my oldest niece Ria to the left, in the center is my brother (and a great father) Ricky, to the right is my second oldest niece Erica :)
