 This was the second shoot for the Short Girls Model summer photo series.  Thus far I have done 4 shoots (pictures will be released soon) and they just keep getting better and better.  I am learning so much about collaboration and directing and of course planning... which is the biggest factor. 
 
In between working two jobs and taking online summer courses, time management and communication is key to these shoots being a success.  I am really enjoying myself and I can't wait to post the next set of photos.  Thank you again to my beautiful models, my lovely stylists, and my gifted photographer.  
 
Hope you all ENJOY the work!

It's coming soon!

Short Girls Model will be launching very soon.  Last Sunday's (June 8th) photo shoot was just great and those photos are being edited currently.  I'm praying this Sunday's photo shoot will be even better. 
 
 This project is my first time producing something that takes so much time and effort.  As someone who moves on impulse, thrives on sporadic decisions, and likes to see immediate results & instant gratification, I am learning that great things take time and everything is a work in progress.
 
I originally thought I'd launch the campaign June 1st, a couple weeks after I thought of it.  But nope, it's taking much longer because I want to produce quality photos...  Plus collaborating is a work in itself. =D  But until then, enjoy these preview photos of the very first SHORT GIRLS MODEL shoot I did with my great friend LJ White who I miss dearly, as he is out of state doing his thing.  Haha.  I'll continue to release them as promo pics.  But do me a favor and SPREAD THE WORD PLEASE!!  Don't be shy.  RT me on Twitter, Like me on Instagram, and Share me on Facebook!

Introducing,

Photography by Leonard White Jr.
Styled by Megan Carter and Kaitlin Wilson.


Short Girls Model is a summer long project campaign highlighting young women standing under 5'5, and collaborating with young Cleveland based artists.  The photo shoot series will take place throughout the season and finished photos will be gradually unvailed each week here at RenaissanceGold.blogspot.com
 
This project will feature a number of different models, fashion stylists, hair stylists, make-up artists, and photographers. 
 
Although we are using apparel, materials, and equipment that we currently own, we are indeed limited and looking to expand our options.  In order to produce quality photos, funding is necessary for everyone involved, as we work to the full extent of our creativity.
  
As the campaign will be launching soon, please visit the 'Go Fund Me' page for more info and to donate. 
We thank you in advanced for your donations and ask that you continue to support our up and coming artists!

By the way, special thanks LJ and Megan!  You two are amazing at what you do and such great friends.  =D
 
Cheers!

"Keep in mind that I'm an Artist, and I'm sensative about my..." -Erykah Badu

Hello!  It's been a little minute, but I am back.  Things got a little hectic toward the end of the semester, but, I have a lot of exciting things planned for 2014 that I think you all may enjoy.  For now though, I just have a few pictures to share from a couple photo shoots I've done.  I've been able to work with some great Cleveland artist, some currently at school with me, and I really enjoyed my small taste of modeling.  =)  Please feel free to comment your thoughts/opinions, good or bad; especially if you're into art like this (photography, fashion/styling, modeling, etc.)

No big deal or anything, but I reserve all rights to all of these photos.  Right Click has been disabled for these (or least it should be), only because I don't want them floating around.  Thanks for understanding.



August 2013.

Originally just for a friend's portfolio, the photographer ended up using this one for his magazine.

Also... incase you're at all interested in where items were purchased, comment or click ...
 
 
 
So uh yeah.  Again, please feel free to comment your thoughts/opinions, good or bad.  From artist to artist: I was really nervous to post these, but the first one got a lot of good comments on Instagram, so I really wanted to share the rest with other artist and art supporters/alliances.  I'm not sure how long they'll be up, but ya know, let me know what you think.  =)  If ya like, there'll definitely be more to come.
 
Cheers!
