Thanksgiving Week

Hello all,

I just wanted to post a quick comment/posting. I am not going to be posting much this week, but I have a new youtube video, as well as images on my website. Both the Portraits section and Recent Work section have new images.

The video below is from the most recent shoot that I have done. It was a beauty shoot with Shaun G (Cosmetics) an amazing makeup artist whose worked with major names such as Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency and many celebrity clients. I was fortunate enough to work with him on a beauty shoot about a month ago. Please take a look at the video, and let me know what you think. As well as the images.



Otherwise, have an AMAZING Thanksgiving, and everyone enjoy your time with your families!

Thanks.

Lauren Messiah's Press Kit





Hey everyone,

Note: I'm officially no longer living in Downtown Los Angeles. Today Thursday November 20th was my last day at Santee Court, where I had lived for the past year here in LA. I have SOOO many memories living there, and a lot of my best work came out of that studio. I want to thank everyone whose worked with me, and was able to be apart of my life while in Downtown LA. Its a bitter sweet day for, I am so happy to be out of Downtown LA and in West Hollywood, but I will definitely miss the people of Santee Court, and all the good times. Not to mention the amazing studio space with the gorgeous amount of light coming through the huge wall of windows.

Back to the point of this posting; because I haven't been working that much these past few weeks, I wanted to post some images that I shot of Lauren Messiah for her Press Kit. She is an AMAZING fashion blogger, and Fashion Editor of ThisNext.com. She's a great person to work with, and her personality makes it fun to be on set. I've posted the behind the scenes video below along with a few final pics. Hope you like them, and let me know what you think.



Thanks.

The past week: 11/3-9/08

Hello All,

 its been a busy week with Allen Zaki Photography. First of all, we have a new President Elect: Barack Obama! 

 As for the photography side of things, a shoot with Makeup Artist Shaun G. was scheduled for Wednesday the 5th, but due to scheduling issues, it was postponed to a further date. 

 Thursday 6th November, I shot Daniel J. Hunt for my artistic nude series, a series of male nudes shot on black and white polaroid...it is an ongoing project. Great work! Along with two looks (fashion/lifestyle) for his portfolio. 

 Working out the details for next week's schedule. Looking to shoot with Studio Timoteo in the coming weeks, along with a few headshot sittings. 

 Keep checking in...more to come (images) and my youtube.com/allenzaki86 page, with more videos! 

Till then, all the best.
