Local inspiration: muses and lenses

Here is a new feature I'd like to introduce - local fashion muses and fashion photography via Facebook uploads. A little taste of local inspiration.


This appears to be an outtake from Maritza Ramirez's fall 2010 lookbook shoot, featuring Vision model Elle Williams (a muse herself). Clothing by, Maritza Ramirez, photography by Amy Gee, styling by Jane Belfry, hair by Charlie Brackney, makeup by Amber Brenke.


Here's another muse of mine, Ben Fredrickson - recently relocated to New York. He's also a mean photographer. This one is subtitled "Trying to get clean in a dirty bathtub with the help of a Pentax SMC P 67 - Soft focus lens - 120 mm - f/3.5."


This hot shot is of musette Miss Cayla Caul Field; photo by Dominic Taylor.


Now based out of New York, Minneapolis native (and my former partner in my Eclecticoiffeur styling collective) Kelsy Osterman uploaded some new men's hairstyle images to her portfolio. (Click here for more.)


Photography Amy Gee uploaded some photos of local fashion muse Sohail Akhavein wearing Raul Osorio garments from the MNfashion-produced Third Thursday show at MIA. (Click here for one more.)


Love this chic shot of Vision Management Group owner/founder Teqen Zéa Aida.


Fashion photographer Vanessa Meade shoots her longtime muse, Tiffany.
