Alysha Young & Hennely Jimenez Review Shudder Streaming Service

09/11/15 10:19 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
Shudder is a new subscription horror service backed by AMC. While they only offer 200 or so titles, they pack a potent punch with such cult favs as Ti West’s “House of the Devil" and Korean horror “A Tale of Two Sisters." This isn't horror lite - this the real deal. Check out Alysha Young and Hennely Jimenez discuss it.

Alysha Young - Tim Pethel Photography

04/22/15 12:03 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
I must say, I haven’t seen pix of Alysha Young I liked this much since my own photographs of her for J’Adore magazine in 2010. In fact, I probably like these shots by photographer Tim Pethel more than mine. They’re just plain good and a lot of so-called urban models and Instagram types could learn a goodly amount about natural light and photo realistic post from these images.

Alysha Young at YouTube Space LA

02/28/15 12:47 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
So here’s the story behind these pics. I ran into Alysha Young - completely by happenstance - at YouTube Space LA. We were actually there to meet Amy Jackson, the model in the post below this one, but after several confirming email and texts she completely flaked. Nothing new in this unverified person world of Instagram (e.g., you have no idea if the person behind the account is even real, much less professional).

Anyway, Alysha, who I’ve known for years, saved the day! She was there for a music video and agreed to take some photos so it wasn’t a wasted trip. She’s my good luck charm. I can recall her helping to save the day at another shoot of mine. Check out Alysha on Twitter HERE and on Instagram HERE.

Alysha Young's Birthday!

10/30/14 01:01 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
I’ve known Alysha for several years and I honestly think she looks younger now than when I first shot with her. It’s a testament to her super active, healthy and happy lifestyle. You can’t buy the regenerative effects of that combination. Enjoy these exclusive snaps of Alysha from her recent birthday bash.

Aqualily Alysha Young

04/02/12 03:32 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
Alysha Young Just Dance
Alysha Young has been busy these days touring for Ubisoft's Just Dance 3, which was released for the XBox Kinect earlier this year. By way of a little background, I first worked with Alysha (who I met through Bria Myles) when I shot her for J'Adore magazine a couple years ago. Alysha has always been more of a commercial than an urban model, with both a dance agency and a modeling agency repping her. She is also part of Aqualillies, a water ballet company that is featured in this month's issue of Vogue magazine.

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. Sad They are listing in alphebetical order.

Alysha Young - Westwood Village - Reprisal

11/17/10 01:44 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
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)

Alysha Young in Maria Claire, Vogue, etc.

06/22/10 07:15 PM Filed in: Video Vixens
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...

2009-08-23_13.29.47
--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...
AlyshaSurfboard-sm-feature


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 Winking. Sometimes I never get to see the final result, it's only in the Midwest. Sometimes they don't even use you... at all Sad.

--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! celebrate (Click to enlarge.)

Candid Fitting Pics: Alysha and Bria

The Complete J'Adore Shoot

12/15/09 02:22 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
J'AdoreCover
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. Winking 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)

Into The Sun - Alysha

11/10/09 01:35 AM Filed in: Video Vixens
Photographer’s Corner: One thing about shooting into the sunlight - autofocus usually stops working so well. That’s what makes these types of shots particularly challenging. Gotta get your manual focus on. Give Alysha a shout out on Facebook here. (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
J'AdoreCover
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.

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.
