Chicago Pop Singer & Songwriter CD Cover Session with Anita Oak

Chicago-Beauty-Photography-Music-Artist-1

Few days ago I had a pleasure to photograph our local R&B singer Anita Oak. Anita is coming up with a new CD . We met on a Sunday afternoon to shoot some photos to be used on the cover of her new CD. It was a pretty windy day in Chicago so setting up the light was pretty challenging. My lastolite ezybox was trying to fly away so we had to use some serious tape to keep it attached to a fence:) A total McGyver of photography!

Tilted Kilt Chicago Fashion Beauty Photography-2

Few weeks ago my good friend Chrissie, who is a great waiter at the Tilted Kilt Chicago, asked me to take some portrait photos of her. Chrissie wanted to be considered for the 2012 Tilted Kilt Calendar. Since we didn't have too much time before submissions were due we quickly schedule a session in my studio.
