Citrine is my favorite subject, my favorite being, my muse. Working with her is always a spiritually intimate experience for me. She and my camera lens bond in a way that very few have been able to closely match. We have tons of photos stored away are creating many more in the near and far future. Her energy is strong and vibrant. Her mind is relentless, sharp, and powerful. She is an Artist with many focuses and has a handmade jewelry brand called Citrine Tangerine.

This photo set presents a few sides of Citrine. In the series she is posing in front of one of her vibrant large paintings while wearing one of her flower crowns. Below the set is an in-depth interview with Citrine that will show you a bit about why she models and what some of her messages are. To see the full set, visit my Private Blog.

How long have you been modeling and what made you want to get into it?

I've been modeling for 3/4 years consistently. What got me into modeling was exploring ways to sell, market, and expose...

Sarah is an awesome model with a fun adventurous personality and effortless natural beauty that needs no editing or retouching. Creating with her is stress free and a lot of fun. My only challenge with this session was selecting my favorite shots to publish and share. I first saw her work in a catalog by Citrine LaCroix for one of her fashion brands. So far, we've had 2 sessions with multiple looks that each capture a fraction of Sarah's intriguing personality and stunning looks. This set features her wearing several lingerie pieces from her own collection along with hand made jewels created by me that are available to be purchased here.  Be on the look out for more art featuring Sarah as there are many more shoots and experiences to come!

Check her interview below the gallery to learn more about who Sarah is and why she kills it the way she does.

These are shots from a recent photo session with Dionte (@tom__4it), an awesome model from Detroit, MI. His confidence and edginess shined bright through his posing style and personal fashion, even on a set designed to be dark. 

All clothing in this set are from his personal collection. All jewelry are handmade designs by Citrine Tangerine and I. Some of the Jewelry can be found in HelioVista or Citrine's Store.

How long have you been modeling and what made you want to get into it?

For 7 years off and on. A photographer reached out to me in instagram and i said why not.

What's your favorite kind of modeling? Is there any kind you wish to try?

I love being naked. There’s an art and a story to the body and I feel like it needs to be told. I wanna be an underwear model or known for my fearless nudest expressions.

Do you have any advice for new models or people interested in giving modeling a try?

Fall in love with everything you...

Working with Lexi was an awesome experience. She arrived full of optimistic and creative energy and proceeded to slay our session. Her posing was natural and needed very little (if any) critique or adjustment. Throughout the shoot she expressed quite a bit about her drive, passion, and willingness to create which caused me to reflect on, and appreciate, all of the creative energy flowing through the arteries of Detroit.

Check out this brief interview to get better acquainted with Lexi.

So Lexi, how long have you been modeling and what made you want to get into it?

I have been modeling with others for about six years now, but have been creating images for about nine. My step dad bought me a Canon for Christmas as a teenager and that was the beginning! I started modeling as my own photographer; experimenting with my own unique, amateur photo shoots. It was a great way to express myself and get my creativity out. After posting my photos and getting my name out there, I was approached b...

Working with Aura was like a breath of bad ass fresh air. She was very calm, cool, friendly, and knowledgeable when it came to posing and the angles of her own body. She's a canvas for permanent intricate artwork and can pose in a way to show you every detail. This was our first collaboration of what I hope to be many. She can be seen here wearing custom jewelry by Citrine LaCroix (Citrine Tangerine) and some pieces by me. 

After our shoot Aura was cool enough to do a little interview to give the world a closer look into her mind.

How long have you been modeling and what made you want to get into it?

1 year. My sister and best friend have been encouraging me to pursue modeling for years - I had the opportunity to start building my portfolio a year ago so I hopped on it and got started!

What's your favorite kind of modeling? Is there any kind you wish to try? 

I love to model firearms and to model my tattoos. I want to try more artistic modeling - especially more horror content.

Do you h...

This is a photo set from Ryanna and I's first time working together. We infiltrated Detroit's historic Russel Industrial Center and found a few interesting rooms to use. One had some anti "New Detroit" and anti RIC messages that seemed like the perfect contrasting backdrop for someone with the elegance of Ryanna. 

After the shoot, Ryanna was awesome enough to do an interview that will tell the world a little about herself. 

How long have you been modeling and what made you want to get into it?

Three years, I did a shoot for a lady for a flyer with my best friend and after all the years of being told I should model. I finally wanted to model. From the experience, the drive, the focus, the passion it gave me in one single photo shoot. 

What's your favorite kind of modeling? Is there any kind you wish to try?

I don't really have a favorite kind and what I enjoy is doing a variety, depending on the photographer. I really enjoy glamour and high fashion. Glamour challenges you to know your b...
