Misty Copeland is the first
female African American ballet dancer to reach
soloist status with American Ballet Theatre in
over two decades. If that's not enough, she's on
tour with Prince, which is really bringing her
into the national spotlight. This is a very
poised young lady, as you will see from her
interview with Tavis Smiley below. Hopefully,
this is just another example of my bringing
something different to mind when discussing a
curvy, talented woman. We need more Misty's out
there. (She has a great website by the way)
Headhunter doesn't need any
additional pub from me - he gets plenty of
attention on his own on Model Mayhem, lol. But I
find his work visually striking and interesting.
Besides, he shot Joanna “va va voom” Peña -
see below. He is also a great illustrator.
When I was growing up and getting interested in
shooting models, photographer Marco Glaviano was one of the
first photographer’s whose work really struck
me. Specifically, his work on the 1990 Cindy
Crawford Swimsuit calendar - probably the best
swimwear calendar I've seen even to this day -
was especially influential.
