Above is owner Chris Wright-Martell, owner of The Modern Self Defense Center. I photographed Chris and crew at his incredible fitness studio this past weekend. Can you read what his t-shirt says? …(aka) “Don’t mess with this dude”.  I documented so many techniques on self defense including: Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing and some mixed martial arts.

Well, Hal (my one and only go-to-guy for just about you name it) popped by my home studio for a session this afternoon. By the way, if you want the best Life Coach on the planet call this dude @ (203) 743-7722 I think today was the most fun I have ever with Hal to date  because we got hooked on this whole yellow craze I’m in. Hysterical….even Phillip my handyman extraordinaire joined in for a few chuckles. I bought this yellow coat and I’ve been on a roll ever since. The break through for our session today was expanding my Lifestyle consulting business, which you will see unfold this spring!

It’s associated with joy, happiness, intellect, and energy. Yellow produces a warming effect, arouses cheerfulness (don’t you feel happy just reading this?), stimulates mental activity, and generates muscle energy. Yellow is often associated with food. Bright, pure yellow is an attention getter…ya think?….which is the reason taxicabs are painted this color. In heraldry, yellow indicates honor and loyalty…for it’s just modern.  Use yellow to evoke pleasant, cheerful feelings, stimulate your mind and encourage communication. I had to have all the senses going today so click on the links below and catch my yellow vibe:

Her studio has great light and her art is really amazing. Besides taking her portraits I photographed her entire collection of paintings and I’m assisting her with launching her website and branding, too!

If you need your art photographed and/or need assistance in image consulting and marketing, please give me a shout at 1-888-278-1011. BTW,  Kandeyce and I are planning a show for later this year that will combine our talents as artists.  It will be very modern and will move you, for sure. Check back  for details on our upcoming show and on Kandeyce’s new site.
