The great thing about working with Gulf Elite on their model series is as an artist, I have complete and full freedom to do what I want to do and create a set of what I think will be a fun experience for my team. 

This being the 3rd part of the series; I got to chose my concept with the model who got selected. Getting to know Yana was a rather unique experience because we met through social media (Facebook to be exact) and brainstormed for a shoot that involved her and her roller skates. That didn't happen...

But look at this girl! She's a student of computer programming, does egg-shell painting during Easter, and is a ball of Ukrainian goodness and my very own, Candy Girl!

Thank you Candylicious UAE for this jaw-dropping, sugar-rushing, venue that brought a better vision to life!
