Last Monday I was taking photographs above ground at Mike Colon’s Underground NYC workshop. Mike is such a generous teacher. It was fun to see him work and to shoot along side of him. Helping Mike out that day was the very talented and also generous Ray Santana. I had so much fun playing with Ray’s ability to determine with perfect accuracy the Kelvin temperature of the different locations we were shooting.

Who is this gorgeous model? Jessica Minhas. What is she wearing? A $12,000 Ines Di Santo dress. How much fun was it working with a gorgeous model in a beautiful dress? A blast!

I’m not kidding, working with Jessica was a true pleasure. She was professional and kept her calm with 11 photographers vying for her attention and 11,000 New Yorkers & tourists asking who she was and wanting their own photographs of her! (I have a feeling it was more tourists than New Yorkers) You might think being a beautiful model and actress is enough to keep Jessica busy. Nope. Not for Jessica. She is one of the founders of The Blind Project. The Blind Project’s focus is to empower women of the women of Southeast Asia that have been rescued from the commercial sex trade. Very cool!

Here are some more photographs I took of Jessica above ground at the Underground:
