Part II to this shoot for J'Adore Magazine is scheduled to take place next month. I'll keep the models involved a secret for now, but they are very hot and have been posted on this blog before.

Atlanta Dymes have been around for a while. They actually shot Tomika Skanes. Bria Myles is looking good as usual. Reach her on Twitter here. (Click to enlarge)

I'm only posting a few (there are about 15) because it's not my intention to dilute sales of this app (Konsole Kingz are good guys), but if you're a Bria fan, I would strongly suggest getting it. There will be more pics to come and video and also you can view these in much larger size.

Reach Bria on Twitter here.

Here are a few of Bria Myles outtakes from SHOW's Black Lingerie #9. Visit their website to see the rest.

Tags: Bria Myles

This is the result of over 9,000 votes on BlackJackSkanz - one of the best known websites for urban models out there.

A couple interesting notes: 1) Seems like Suelyn should be higher - she had a great '09, 2) Seems like Cubana and Vanessa should be lower; a testament to the power of a large Twitter following, and 3) Suleika's position seems well deserved.

Bria finished Second Place in Cutie Central's Top Vixen Poll for '09 (number one for Model in Highest Demand) so it looks like she is quite possibly the number one urban model right now.

Tags: Bria Myles, Suelyn Medeiros, Rosa Acosta, Vanessa Veasley, Suleika, Jesikah Maximus, Diznee, Maliah Michel

Squinty goodness from Ms. Myles. Reach out to her on Twitter here (it's one of the few places you can be sure you're not dealing with an impostor - she's got quite a few of them out there).

These pics of Bria Myles appear in the relaunch issue of KING and were taken by photographer Charlie Langella.

While certainly not bad, based on the video I saw I thought these pics might be a little better. There is one pic that I just don't like that I didn't bother to scan and another of just Bria walking away that was published by Harris to promote this issue - no point scanning that.

This was a tough bunch of pics to scan and I look forward to seeing the maestro's version, BlackJackSkanz. If I'm up to it, tomorrow I post Briana Lloyd's pics from this issue. (Click to enlarge)

Tags: Bria Myles

Looks like Rosa Acosta took the cover. No surprise there - no one can deny that girl's hustle. Looking forward to seeing more. Props to Dynasty Series for this.

Question: why is KING's website not updated? Why don't any newsstands here in Los Angeles know about this? Not the greatest publicity campaign.

Tags: Rosa Acosta, Bria Myles

This whole shoot is posted at BlackJackSkanz.com, but it seemed like a good idea to have it here as well, since I took these shots. Props to J'Adore magazine and Editor-In-Chief Taneish Leslie. Models: Bria Myles, Alysha Young, and Suelyn Medeiros.

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)

Tags: Alysha, Bria Myles, Suelyn Medeiros

It's amazing how little retouching you have to do to a photo of Bria for it to look good. This is from the J'Adore mag shoot I did a couple months ago.

Tags: Bria Myles

Love these pics... (Click to enlarge)

Shout out Alysha on Facebook here. You can reach Bria on Twitter here.

Posted for the sole reason of giving y’all a peek at what the other side of that white swimsuit looked like.

I had these custom 6” x 8” booklets made for the crew and models on the J’Adore shoot. I went through Apple’s iPhoto printing services. Very nice... If you’re interested in one, PM me. But they aren’t cheap. (Click to enlarge)

Check out Bria Myles new SHOW pics at BlackJackSkanz website. Nobody does quality scans like BlackJack, and these are no exception. Great work as always.

This photo is an outtake of a shoot I did with Bria Myles where we were copying an idea that Herb Ritts had done with Claudia Schiffer many years ago (see below). The idea is to have the sun shining through a diaphanous sheet with an attractive pattern and put the model in front of it. I was really tempted to use that gold reflector to bounce light onto Bria, but my assistant hates the gold reflector, so we went with white.

What we wound up with wasn’t really that close to the Schiffer photo after all - it kinda became its own concept (or at least that’s how it seems to me). You can see one of the fully edited images here. I actually think the outtake looks better than the final, lol. Also, notice how much retouching had to be done to fill in that fabric above Bria’s head and below her waist.

One of the better programs for the Mac is their Powerpoint substitute, Keynote. Keynote Pro is a company that designs templates for this application, and they’re all pretty nice. A lot better than most of the stuff that comes with the app or Powerpoint. You can download the high res (1680 x 1050) of this image here.

Recent Maryland Institute College of Art graduate Zach Osif asked if he could paint Bria for one the works at his first major exhibit. He just sent me an email tonight with the final. I think it looks fantastic.

Who knows, this may be worth something some day....

This is a shot of Bria that didn't make it into J'Adore Magazine. There are dozens of pics that could have made the cut, but didn't because there just wasn't space and the goal of this was to show off swimsuits, not models. So you guys will be the beneficiaries of this glut in coming weeks, lol.
You can reach Bria on Twitter here.

This is one of my favorite shots from the shoot. I love the colors and styling thanks to M&A Style. So rarely do we see urban models just laughing and having a good time like the women in a J. Crew catalog. Again, thanks to Taneish Leslie and J’Adore Magazine for believing in this idea. (Click to enlarge - this one you gotta see big to appreciate)

Tags: Bria Myles, Suelyn Medeiros, Alysha

I was fortunate enough to shoot a swimsuit layout in the latest issue of J'Adore magazine - the Sports Issue, which will be on newsstands in the next week or so. I have to give a big shout out to the editor Taneish Leslie for giving me this opportunity.

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.

Tags: Bria Myles, Suelyn Medeiros, Alysha

I grabbed these revised scans from CutieCentral’s interview with Bria. These are the latest photos of Bria Myles from SHOW magazine. Bravo to CC for these scans, which are top quality. (Click to enlarge)

This is what you call the best of the best jobs for a video vixen. Today, Bria Myles shot for the cover for Chamillionaire’s forthcoming release of “Venom,” the artist’s third studio album. The album is scheduled for release on December 3, 2009.

This job is great for several reasons. First, the shot will just feature Bria and the artist on the cover of the CD and promotional materials. That elevates Bria’s status and builds her exclusivity as a model. This is how Darlene Ortiz and Coco became famous. Second, the pay, which was quite good for five hours work. Lastly, this is the type of job the gives good after burn - it will be in stores and on iTunes forever.

This situation also illustrates why it’s important as a model to build good relationships on set on not alienate hair and make-up artists. This job came through the incredibly talented Tara Copeland, who has styled Bria’s hair in the past (see her website homepage photo). Bria and Tara have a good relationship and when photographer Jonathan Mannion needed suggestions for a model on this job, Tara recommended Bria.



Bria’s shoe selection for the shoot - models eat your heart out, lol...

This is a shot of Bria Myles that didn’t make the cut for the most recent 40 on 40 BlackMen issue. It was taken by Import Eye Candy Models, which takes some hot shots and has hooked Bria up with some nice jobs of late. Aspiring models take note: Charles is a good person to know.

So Bria just shot today with famed photographer Charlie Langella. I can't say what it's for, but it is significant news in the urban modeling community. So when it's finally announced, just remember that it was known as of today by Indo.

Tags: Bria Myles

This is Bria’s second time in BlackMen’s 40on40 Issue. As a prerequisite, you gotta have at least 40” hips to be featured in this issue. I have to give a shout out to my man Marcus Blassingame for reaching out to Bria to feature her in this issue. With the direction this magazine is going (with fewer black models), I doubt she would have snagged this feature without him.

It’s actually an interesting issue. Many of the photos are pictures we net veterans have seen before. So here you see some reverse pilfering--instead of a website grabbing original content from the magazines and posting it, here BlackMen took some infamous images that were already in cyberspace and solidified their legend in the magazine.

Tags: Bria Myles

Just had a great shoot with Bria and a couple other beautiful models. It was different from the norm. It will be interesting to see how people react to it.

This is a collage of some of the pics I’ve taken of Bria over time. A pattern starts to emerge of very straight ahead, no frills, colorful images. Baby oil rarely enters the picture and the retouching is more on the photorealistic side. (Click to enlarge)

I look forward to getting feedback on this one.

Nothing like taking photos out of the archives. Can you imagine the gems we might get of vixens like Melyssa if someone took the time to post some of those shots that didn't make it into the magazine.

Tags: Bria Myles

Taneish is doing it big time! This is what the urban modeling industry needs - an infusion of class. Bravo!

(Look for Bria Myles in this issue as well... )

Let's face it. This girl could sell damn near anything. New York based photographer Mike Delfin took these shots. Ladies, look him up if you're in the Big Apple in need of some shots.
