Chris came to me by way of stylist Jewel Shannon with whom I worked on many issues of Black Men Swimsuit Extra magazine. He's a new face that I'm certain I'll be working with in the future on my next Lifestyle Stock shoot.

Model Portfolios New York photographer John Ricard shoots Cherelle

Cherelle came to me by way of my www.newmodelportfolios.com site. She wanted to add some pics to her portfolio so we set up a shoot. These shoots are always fun because the model you are photographing is totally into the shoot. That's not always the case with some of my music industry work.

Celebrity Photographer John Ricard shoots Nas

I am in Atlanta today following Lloyd for the entire day. It started at 7am with a live performance on Good Morning Atlanta and ended more than 15 hours later at 11th Street Studios where Lloyd was recording a new song with Yung Joc.

Somewhere inbetween all that, we visited V-103FM where Nas was wrapping up his segment prior to the start of Lloyd's.
