Saying it boldly is what this photo shoot was all about. After stumbling upon the website for Black Milk Clothing, an Australian based clothing line. I met Gabrielle one evening while she was hanging out in the lobby of a recording studio.After mistaking her for a rapper, which she corrected me by stating that she modeled, I gave her a head to toe look and saw a lot of potential for the idea I had envisioned while browsing the Black Milk website. This was definitely the right model as she put it boldly. Immediately I called Kirk, owner of KMS BodyPainting, and told him I had a model I wanted him to meet, as well as an idea to pitch to him. Kirk readily agreed that he loved the idea. Without hesitation we planned a shoot that would take place as soon as Gabrielle returned from a trip out of state. The day arrived, and after a few obstacles we were pretty much on our way to making a bold statement, and having a good deal of fun as we always do.
