Washington Square Park, Manhattan - Headshots of Stephanie

About a week ago, I did headshots for Stephanie Nieman, a very talented actress and model. It was a fun time, and we got some great pictures to use for her headshot and submissions to films. Below is a brief bio about her, and a link to her website:

City Headshots

Stephanie Nieman is a recent graduate of Stephens College with her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre. She recently appeared in ‘Bedroom Farce’ with the Hampton Theatre Company. Stephanie was in an Off Off Broadway production of ‘Sex, Relationships, and Sometimes... Love.’ She also was an intern at the Women's Project Theatre working in marketing and PR. Stephanie spent last summer at the Okoboji Summer Theatre where she helped build and perform 9 shows in 10 weeks.

"Working with Martin was amazing. I felt completely comfortable and natural during the shoot. His direction helped me find a great look that can act as a canvas for casting directors in all fields. I am extremely happy to have worked with him!"

Soho, Manhattan - Headshots of Damion Lee

We did a bunch of pictures for Damion Lee today, and I got them finished this evening. It was a really fun time and we discussed working on Mozart of Rap, and where the film is headed. Damion Lee is currently trying to get a role in a feature film coming out soon and wanted some great pictures to go along with it, so we shot these. Let me know what you think!

Damion Omar Lee born and raised in Brooklyn N.Y., and possesses the same raw, intense, resourcefulness onscreen as did the streets he grew up on. Approached by a talent agent on a New York City subway train, this opportunity landed Damion a supporting role in the 2001 feature film “Finding Forrester” starring Sean Connery and Rob Brown. With his interest in other endeavors, Damion realized in 2005 that acting was his calling; and with no formal training until recently, Lee seems to be blessed with an authenticity on film that cannot be taught, as he has managed to star in several independent films including Blueprint, where he portrays a young college student who attempts a romantic getaway outside of the city with a male love interest. The critically acclaimed ‘Blueprint’ has been screened at festivals all over the world. It’s this same fearless approach to take on any character which has gotten Damion the lead in other indie shorts and features coming out soon including ‘44’ which can be seen at the Urban World Film Festival in NYC mid-September; ‘When It Rains’ which already received rave reviews at the New York Int’l Latino Film Festival, and the highly anticipated feature film ‘True Story’ directed by Rasheed Wilds of Wildsoul Cinema which is figured to be a classic. When Damion is not acting, he spends his down time writing poetry and collaborating with a collective of other artists who have dubbed themselves as C.R.E.A.M (Creative Revolutionary Exceptional Artist Movement). Damion Omar Lee is definitely a force to be reckoned with and someone to watch for in the near future.

Soho, Manhattan - Photos of Sinorice Moss, Dion, and Adonis

Every once in a while, something interesting happens. I met Dion and Adonis on the corner of Lafayette and Prince street, and they asked me if I was a photographer as I walked by them. I stopped and turned around, wondering why. And then I looked down and remembered I was carrying my camera over my shoulder. They asked me to take a sample image of them, which I did (posted below), and told me they really liked it. Then the wide receiver for the NFL New York Giants Sinorice Moos showed up for dinner with them. I took his photo and have posted it up here. Now tomorrow we are supposed to be doing a photoshoot for NBA player Serge Ibaka because Dion and Adonis both work with Urban Elegance Media Group, where they work with pro athletes and other people to get them good photos. We'll see what happens, but for the time being, here are the photos I took of them.
