I stumbled on Filipina Barbie a couple of years ago and I thought it was relatable and such a great concept! Got a chance to interview her while she was on tour here on the East Coast . She has a couple of shows and you need to experience her energy, live! She’s the absolute sweetest!

Thanks so much to for being super kind and open to interview. We just so happen to be at the same venue, saw him and mustered up the courage to ask.

I have been a fan of BJ for his beautiful photos on CFDA Fashion Awards Portraits, magazine covers, fashion editorial photos of Filipina beauty queens and even his modeling (yes, he’s a model, too).

I’m a photographer by trade and 2 weeks ago, I had a test shoot at .and.b.studio , owned by and his wife, Briana. So, I figure I interview him while I was there.

Denny has been in the fashion scene for a bit and he’s remain down-to-earth and just the coolest! If you’re in Jersey City and need a studio space to shoot or are looking for some unique vintage pieces, Denny is the guy!

Just as spring is approaching, here are some photos taken a couple years ago during .

This was the 2nd batch of street interviews I did. Some didn’t want to be interviewed because they were journalists themselves and that’s totally understandable.

yes, I also interviewed nurses for those who think I don’t. I’m always interested in how they became nurses and if there was (or is) a dream job.
