Every month I will showcase a local Atlanta model. These are people who I consider pretty darn cool. Their experience may vary, and they may not be "Fashion Magazine" models, but they are all fun to be around and also consummate professionals. Check out this page if you are an Atlanta photographer if you are looking for a talented model to work with.

Carli's Model Mayhem :

Just 2 models into this Model of the Month thing and I'm already breaking the rules. Carli used to live in Atlanta, she doesn't anymore. But to the heck with it, this lady is awesome. Carli is actually a really good friend of mine who just happens to have looks of a model. I've known her for a good decade now and we will probably know each other for quite a while. The best thing about Carli is she has the looks of a model (Great structure, 5'11", and all that) but she's the most down to earth and sweetest lady you will ever meet. She loves the simple things in life and she's pretty darn awesome about it.
Carli and I have been shooting since 2004. She has been a muse for me for quite a while and we have covered a plethora of image types ranging from standard portrait, glamor, fashion, artistic figure work, all the way to maternity photos (the whole nine yards eh?). I was actually the photographer for her wedding which was absolutely beautiful.
Here's some things that make Carli stand out as a model :
- Very fashion/Model look, she has great facial structure and excellent posture and poise.
- She took years of dance and her flexibility and movement show up in images
- Great even skin complexion that makes her perfect for close up portraiture
- She has great experience and takes direction well, along with being able to hold her own
Here are some example images taken in the past of her

It's a hard choice picking who the first model of the month is, but at the end of it Aglae stood out at top. Not because she's better than anyone else, even though she's pretty awesome, its because anyone who has met her (including other models, and people) absolutely love her. She is one of the sweetest and coolest person to know, and darn gorgeous to boot.
Aglae and I were introduced to each other from another photographer in 2008 and we have done dozens of shoots since. She has striking facial features complimented extremely well by her light skin tone and raven black hair. Her look is easy to adjust from dark to lights and provides pretty good versatility.
Things that Aglae totally rocks at :
- Experimental and adventurous. She's more than willing to jump in a river.
- Unique look. Her cat like eyes immediately attract attention.
- Hilarious personality. It shows in the photos. From demure, to funny, she covers it.
- She's one of us! I gave her a Canon XT several years ago and she shoots.
Here are a few more photos, and her contact info. If you contact her via this page tell her I sent you.
