R.L Bond who is represented by 301 model management in Miami and is currently signed with Fusion Model Management in New York. RL Bond has walked in various runway shows, such as Sean John, Regatta USA-Argyle by Russel Simmons, and Diesel. I was introduced to R.L by Mike Stallings a stylist whom i work with quite often. He said that R.L was up for Fashion Week for the Sean John show and should set something up. We set up the shoot on a tuesday afternoon, we shot in my favorite are Dumbo, Brooklyn.

The shots came out great, we got something fresh that we mutually did not have in our ports. A couple of weeks after the shoot R.L took every image he shot recently including my new images to his agency to pick out photos for his compcard and the website. Turns out that out of all the images he presented to the agency they only chose mine. LOL! I look forward to working with R.L again and I wish him well and his already successful career.

A Revisit of the Beginning

Well, what better to discuss in my first official post than the very 1st models I began to shoot with. The 1st was Dena Barnes whom I shot my junior year of high school for the early incarnation of my clothing line Salacious. We did the shoot in a dimly lit classroom with my tiny Kodak Easy Share camera. I had no clue what i wanted to do, but as Tim Gunn says, we made it work. As you can very well see this looks a hot mess, but remember it was my 1st time working with graphics and a camera.

Ok, three years later a little bit better, and a little bit more knowledgeable, the now statuesque Dena Barnes and I re shoot. He was interested in starting his book and I obliged ,I was more than happy to start his book, because in essence he started mine.

Dena is 19 years old, 6'1 32inch waist and 185lbs, and statuesque. We did these shots in the chic area of Dumbo, Brooklyn and we got some great shots before a massive down pour of rain. Dena has in my opinion has a look for the Gap and Urban Outfitters for some reason, and I think he can definitely pull of a calender shoot. For booking info contact me.

The second model I reently shot with is Magdalena Lazare, one of my best friends whom I also met in high school in the Drama club. We did our 1st shot while we were out with friends at a McDonald's in Soho. I had my handy Kodak Easy Share camera and decided to do some shots against the mirror. Even to this day i still sort of like this shot.

Once again three years later, Maggie is pursuing modeling, having done shots with "Hype Hair Magazine", David Schinman, and other great photographers, and it was now time for us to try and create something again. We did our shots on the has be hottest day of the year so far. We did hair and makeup with my artist Jeremy downtown and then traveled in the hot sun to Dumbo. The look was high fashion couture meets Jet Magazine 's Beauty of the week lol.

In the end I think the shoot went great, and we were both pleased with our growth in our individual fields. Maggie is 5'9 and 124lbs and a great model. For booking info contact me s.williams@saileywilliams.com

I thank these two models and friends very much for taking a chance on me back then, and I wish these two the best of luck in their respective careers.
Thats all for this post folks!
