ON THE COVER<br />
Ellie Nicole<br />
Modeling is one of my many passions.<br />
After my first shoot I knew I had<br />
found something I loved. When I am<br />
passionate about something, I give it<br />
one hundred and ten percent and I<br />
shoot for the sky until I land among<br />
the stars. No matter how many tries<br />
it takes.<br />
Modeling is my way of expressing myself.<br />
I think of modeling as a form of<br />
Art. With each step or pose I am interpreting<br />
the story the designer wishes<br />
for me to express. I know that as a<br />
model I am a canvass and the designer<br />
is the artist. I have deep admiration<br />
and respect for the Fashion industry.

My name is Brandi and I am the owner of Sunkissed By Us. I started Sunkissed<br />
By Us in April of 2012 because I had always spent my years baking<br />
in the sun and in tanning beds until one day I found out I had skin cancer<br />
that was thankfully removed. I had trained to spray tan myself and decided<br />
to offer my services to others hoping to help protect them from ever<br />
having to go through what I did. My goal for the business is to expand my<br />
client base to cover most of southern California as well as grow with the<br />
industry.<br />
Sunkissed By Us is a mobile Airbrush / Body Shimmer service. Our tanning<br />
solutions and skin care products are all natural and safe. We cater to<br />
spas, salons, body builders, dancer, models, and private events. The goal is<br />
to have you bronzed and beautified for those special occasions, competitions,<br />
pool parties, pre vacation tan or those sunless winter days.<br />
Sunkissed By Us is mobile with a location in Whittier. Our contact number<br />
is 626 806-5021. All information such as services, before & after pictures<br />
and pricing can all be found on Facebook and Instagram under sunkissedbyus<br />
as well as on my website www.sunkissedbyus.com.
Clay Blackmore is one of the most influential and<br />
sought-after photographers in the world, with a clientele<br />
that includes celebrities the likes of Larry King, Forest<br />
Whitaker, Jenna Elfman, and Maria Sharapova. His photographs<br />
are routinely featured inWashington Life <strong>Magazine</strong>.<br />
A protégé of the legendary Monte Zucker, Clay is a legend<br />
in his own right. Clay meticulously developed his photographic,<br />
teaching, and business skills during this 25-year<br />
association with Monte, first as an assistant, then as a<br />
co-educator and business partner.<br />
In addition to his mastery of lighting and classic portraiture, Clay is at the forefront of HD-DSLR<br />
cinema, pushing the limits of the latest innovations in filmmaking to create timeless pieces of<br />
cinematic storytelling.<br />
His world-class studio in Rockville, Md., supports a team of passionate photographers and filmmakers<br />
working with the newest technologies in the field. Collaborating with companies such as<br />
Canon, Tiffen, and Quantum, Clay has been among the first to test and evaluate new products<br />
for photography and HD-DSLR cinematography. He is a distinguished Canon Explorer of Light<br />
and a member of the elite Cameracraftsmen of America.<br />
Clay’s passion for photography is only rivaled by his passion for education. He is an integral<br />
part of Monte Zucker Photographic Education, formed in 2007 to continue Monte’s educational<br />
legacy. Clay lectures around the world, and his nationwide tours include “How to Photograph<br />
Everyone” (2012), “Photo-Fusion Revolution” with Jeff Medford and Ross Hockrow (2010) and<br />
“Capture & Creativity” with Jane Conner Ziser (2008).<br />
In addition, Clay is passionate about helping at-risk kids. He volunteers with the Leadership<br />
Empowerment & Action Program (LEAP), teaching photography to middle-school children in<br />
Montgomery County, Maryland, who are adopted or in foster care. Clay believes that the best<br />
way to teach is by example. “Confidence comes from success, and success comes from practice,”<br />
he says.

Pose it, Light it, Love it! Outtakes day one and two with photographer Michael Jordan.<br />
Michael Jordan is the official Southwest Section PGA (SWSPGA)<br />
Junior Golf photographer. Michael has been a photo enthusiast for<br />
over 30 years. He picked up his first camera at the age of seven. He<br />
studied photography at the New York Institute of Photography. He<br />
now has a family with three young boys. His boys started golf lessons<br />
at an early age and quickly became very proficient at this sport.<br />
Being a proud father, Michael took many pictures of his children<br />
during practice and tournaments. When his boys are not playing<br />
golf, they join their father in photographing golfers. Michael and his<br />
boys specialize in taking great pictures on courses like Tuscany Falls<br />
and Blackstone Country Club. Knowing the layout of the golf courses<br />
is the key to getting great shots of the golfers.<br />
A shot is over in only a matter of seconds, and being in the right spot at the right time (along<br />
with his eye for composition) sets Michael’s photos apart from others.<br />
Besides golf, Michael has captured portraits of Russell Crow, Denzel Washington, Ed Norton,<br />
Josh Groban, along with numerous other local celebrities.<br />
You can find these and many more amazing images at www.mjpropix.com<br />
or email him at www.mjordan@mjpropix.com
