You can click on the image to enlarge it. The two
main qualifications to be on this list: 1) I have to
shoot with the model, and 2) they had to be in my top
traffic searches (e.g., people are still looking for
them on my blog). There are couple newcomers on the
list, like Carol, and a couple that got bumped.
They are listing in alphebetical
order.

Update: A
new image was added in the dead of the night on
11/18, lol.
Another image that proves that if you've got a gorgeous model and good hair and make-up, you can pull off a great shot anywhere. This picture was taken in a parking structure: that emblem to the left of Alysha is the Roman numeral 3 (because that's the parking level we were on). (Click on image for larger version)

Alysha Young in Just Dance 2 Commercial
10/17/10 02:55 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
If you watch television at all, it's been pretty hard
to miss Alysha in the latest
commercial for the Ubisoft's Just Dance 2 game for the
Wii, along with Kim Kardashian and some other
celebs. I think Alysha is proof that having a
real career in modeling/acting is not mutually
exclusive with occasionally doing projects in
urban modeling. (Click collage image to be taken
to Just Dance 2 commercial)

This photo was chosen by Alysha Young herself, unlike
many of the other photos here which were chosen
by me. What does her selection say about how she
views herself? How does it compare to my
selections? Please discuss*.

This is a look I had been wanting to do for a long
time, and you can only get it at one time of the
year. Again, trying to bring something a little
different to the urban genre.

This is the Parisian cafe look. I don't wanna make
any offhanded proclamations, but I'm pretty sure I'm
done with straight booty type shoots (not that I ever
did much of that to begin with). Guess I'm getting
old, lol.

UPDATE: This
blog post has been updated. Alysha sat down today to
talk in detail about how she landed this job, for all
those aspiring models who want to know...
--How did the
Walmart ad campaign come about for you (e.g.,
starting from how you got with the agency that
booked you for the job, providing one of your
agents booked you)...
I got the Walmart ad through my agency, the Daniel Hoff Agency. Getting an agent is necessary and I got mine through submitting headshots and resumes to all agents that looked like we could benefit each other. You can get a list of all the agencies and what talent they are currently looking for at Samuel French Bookstore. After I sent out my packages I heard back from less then 1/4 of the agents. I went in to do a test read of a script, got a call back offering me representaion.
--Was this job a buy-out, do you get residuals, etc.?
The job was a buyout I got about $2,000 for internet and print usage during Summer 2010. If Walmart decides they want to use the images longer than the summer then they have to pay me again. Also, there's an exclusivity clause - while this ad is out I can't do a similar ad campaign for stores like Target or K-mart.
--How long ago did you actually shoot for this ad, to give people some idea of how long projects like this can take to come into fruition...
I shot this campaign in the beginning of April 2010. They had me "on hold" for a week, meaning I was told to keep my availibility open just in case they wanted me (ahhhhh the suspense, lol)
--When you shot for it, did you have any idea of how you would be featured in the ads, if at all?
After I shot for the ad I had no idea where it would actually be used. They don't tell you. All I knew was it could be used for print and online, whatever that means. No one tells you the actual relese date. I didn't even know it was out until you told me. Sometimes I never
get to see the
final result, it's only in the Midwest.
Sometimes they don't even use you... at all
.
--What advice would give to aspiring models out there who wanna dip their foot into urban modeling but not foreclose opportunities to do an ad like this?
My advice is to know exactly where you want to end up in the industry and be selective with your work. If you want to be super sexy and that's the work you book, it'll probally open more doors to be super sexy, but there's the risk you will be pigeonholed to that. You have to remember your overall objective and stick with a plan that will keep you versatile. Don't get "caught up." KEEP FOCUS.
Congrats to Alysha!

Candid Fitting Pics: Alysha and Bria

On the better photo shoots, before you actually hit
the location, the stylist will hold a fitting just to
be sure the swimsuits look just right. These are
candid photos of Bria Myles and Alysha Young from such a
fitting with M&A Style.

A part two to this shoot is under consideration for the March 2010 issue of J'Adore. What three models do you think would make good candidates for that shoot? (Click to enlarge)

Alysha - Pretty Woman
11/05/09 08:29 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
Photographer’s Corner: This picture
of Alysha was taken midday with strong overhead
sunlight. To give it an even, natural lighting both a
silk and scrim were used. These pics may look simple,
but controlling light outdoors is tougher than it
appears. I had three assistants, and even with that
at times it seemed like we were shorthanded.
Alysha Young - The New Girl
10/29/09 02:27 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
I promised more of Alysha - this is one the
photos I took of her for J'Adore Magazine's latest
issue. She is featured as the Creme De La
Creme in the issue. She was a great model.
When the sun started to set and everybody else
was packing up, she was still going strong
without a complaint. Now that's professionalism.
(DVD Extra: there was small editorial battle as
to which model would get to have the “surfboard
shot.” It was tight but Bria got it; however,
Alysha got her own feature so everybody won.)

Tear Sheet in New Issue of J'Adore
10/26/09 07:09 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
The idea behind this editorial was to bring that clean, natural aesthetic you see so often in Sport's Illustrated to a layout of video vixens. No baby oil, no thongs, no artificial lighting. Just beauty and sunlight. (I never felt the urban magazines had really done justice to the traditional beach shoot (see, KING’s botched Dollicia cover).)
In the coming days I’ll be posting high res photos from this shoot, including outtakes that didn’t make it into the mag. Thanks to Bria, Alysha and Suelyn for some great modeling.
Alysha - What The Game Needs
09/25/09 12:14 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
I shot Alysha recently
for a magazine editorial and this girl is the real
deal. Good head on her shoulders, no tattoos, in
college. Between set ups during the shoot all she did
was sit over in the corner and read a book. She's
skeptical of the urban industry, so I'm not sure how
much more we'll see of her, but we could certainly
use more quality models like this in the game.
