"A-Bomb" aka Amee the Sweetheart


The next girl of my fabulous list of besties who i have shot is the pint size beauty Amee K Gallagher.
I love her because she's K-POP sister ... and she's the fun and relaxed stylista ... she has the ability of looking phenomenal and sexy but at the same time look chilled and casual .. all at the same time,  its an effortless look and i take my hats off to her.



  


This shoot was technically the start of my professional portfolio ...
technically lol only because

.. i interned with a awesome magazine "phoenix" during London Fashion Week
.. it was an amazing experience ..
 unfortunately since they are a very new and up and coming mag they did not have jobs available
.. which sucked but they gave me the kick in the booty to create a personal portfolio

.. and i respect them ...

also

.. hence the start of this whole embargo !!!



The whole idea of this shoot came from a movie i watched called "Love and Other Disasters"
 .. it starred Brittany Murphy .. may she rest in peace.
LOVE HER but no offence to her but the movie was kind of blah!!
honestly its a "have in the background"
sort of film but like most movies like that
... it has its moments ...

Especially this photo shoot that was a small part of the film

where they had this beautiful couture gowns coming out of washing machines in a laundromat
.. it was such an awesome idea ..
i fell in love with it
.. i think my favourite shoots in the world are the ones that don't make sense or that are about everyday menial mundane activities .. 

it makes for an interesting read in a magazine
.. so to speak 

So i dragged my friend Amee to a laundromat and put in some of my mom's fabulous clothes ... and did an inspired shoot of photo... 




Sooo much fun !!
i was upset though because i did give her enough to work with
.. i did not give her enough of a story to follow for her to pose to but she brought something fantastic anyway

she has the ability to make the pose look at ease and poised which i loved

.. as you can obviously in the pics 



She was so sweet and helpful
.. and she said she might join with another soon



..... But there was another ...
little lady friend of mine called Shahania who was part of this fabulous time
.. but she asked me to refrain from showing the pics

..........

But as i am an artist
 .. Im gonna show a couple anyways...

The "Maximencova"

I started the photography and styling ...
really kinda out of the blue it was my friend ella actually
.. who spurred me on ..
we took a trip to Roma one week to celebrate her newly given passport and just to get out of town for a bit
..fortunately my father still lives there so accommodation was not an issue ..

So after sun bathing in Ostia beach and roaming the streets of the italian capital city ..
we got bored and if i recall correctly my extremely talented friend Ella decided to create a mini photo shoot!!! 

(just trying to give you guys a mini history lesson on Moi)

i did the hair styling and clothes styling ..
and she took care of the make-up ...
 we went for something quite natural and really nice and serene

..i really enjoyed myself on that trip and i feel like a bonded with her better than i could have possibly imagined
.. and that link that we shared can be seen in the photos we produced 

so with a little tweak here and there ....

And so it Begins ....

Well since i am starting this blogalations i would like to start by introducing myself 

Im Mahatma
 .. im a currently 23 and a pisces 
I enjoy horse back riding and long walks on the beach
 ... just kidding but i do love walks on the beach .. horses on the other hand are kinda scary ... 
What???  they are huge !!!

i love to travel and soaking up new cultures
.. but mainly the foods 

i firmly believe in the world "Totes"
 ... which for the those in the know is an abbreviation of the word totally

and the word "poo" .. cause its cute but it means something nasty .. weird 

and i love fashion, art history and sometimes nature 
(i say sometimes 'cause i love the beauty and its unpredictability but im not really wildernessy
.. i mean i even hate camping)

here are a few picturesies of me 

This pic was taken by very talented friend Sam ... we were on a spur of the moment trip to Tenerife and we decided to go crazy and do a set of mini photo shoots ... it was so much fun and as a result we got an image where i look very handsome if i do say so myself 

 This was taken a few months later in london by other very talented friend Chris T. We just finished work .. got drunk and decided to do photo shoots instead of go clubbing .. best idea ever!!! 

i like this pic cause its moody 

well im just gonna start off like this and then add as i go along
... like i said im new to this
.. so im sure there is a learning curve like with most things but here goes nothing ...
