Back in the year 2000, not too long after I arrived in LA from Houston, my friend and make-up artist Stacey Gibson showed Vanessa some of my work and arranged for me to shoot some images of her[Vanessa] and her new daughter with Rick Foxx - Sasha. I was exteremely excited. For many years I admired Vanessa's courage in the face of adversity in addition to her undeniable talents as an A-List entertainer. I had driven past Vanessa and Rick's home a couple of times so I knew where it was. I gave myself enough time so I would get there on time - I couldn't afford to f**k this one up. Vanessa gave me and my assistant Keith Collins great energy for the entire shoot. She even offered us a glass of wine before the shoot. It was Christmas time. We got some great photos of both Vanessa and Sasha and this turned out be an annual affair when Vanessa got her Christmas cards ready. My annual visit to Vanessa and Rick's home lasted four years while Rick played with the Lakers. I miss the entire family including the kids who I would have a chance to witness develop over my years of service. I will always remember. Thanks Stacey. Thanks Vanessa. Thanks Rick. The exposure on my work truly benefitted from my work with Vanessa and Rick.
I shot the attached photograph after I daringly asked Vanessa to lay on her stomach on top of her dinning room table. I liked the window light adjacent to it but the table was too heavy to move. The light really showed the color in Vanessa's eyes.
Tech Note: The image was shot on Kodak 100VS 35mm Film with a Nikon 90s 35mm SLR, 80-200/2.8 lens set to 200. The film iso was set to 25 with "normal" development. I had to use a tripod due to the slow shutter speed (50) resulting from the low falsely rated iso of 25. I was simply overexposing the film two stops for less skin detail. The VS on the film stock stands for 'very saturated". I agree!
Forgive my spelling, I type faaaaast!
