This guy is no stranger to the blog. Jonathan King’s latest venture, Mad Manhattan, is a rock/R&B band from right here in Oklahoma City. Check out the Facebook Page to listen to the first single recently released, recorded and produced entirely by Jon. (His many talents don’t end there.) More to come on the blog from a full promo shoot happening soon. For now, some favorites from a recent speed studio session:

Lindsey is a friend who first modeled for me for my personal art series, “Zombies Are People Too”, which I hope to be posting in just a few days! We both had a great time and decided to set up a time for some “normal” photos. Believe it or not, she’s never really modeled before! But with her height, dancer background, and general gorgeousness, we couldn’t not do it! We got together for some starter portfolio images in studio and on location. We will also both be walking runway in Oklahoma’s first Fashion Week! Click here for more info and tickets.

My beautiful sister Kathryn often ends up being my go-to model when I feel like shooting, whether I’m trying a new technique, idea, or just for fun. In this session, she shot a few of me as well!
