WORK: Roid-O-Rific Weekend!

This past weekend (Feb 5th & 6th) I had the pleasure of working long hours, but shooting two awesome set-ups! On Saturday I shot international POP sensation LOLENE! We did an editorial spread for BE! Magazine, it was Miami Heat HOT, and Spring Runway Fashion Inspired! The second shoot on Sunday, was of hot fresh model Matthew Smith @ Pinkerton Model & Talent new to LA from Colorado. He was a blast to work with, and I know he has a lot ahead of him. Both shoots I was able to pull roids (Polaroids), which I absolutely love, and I shoot for my own personal work. Its my creative escape from the commercial work that I normally shoot!

Above are a few snaps of the roids I shot this weekend....keep your eyes open for the editorial of Lolene, and the red hot images of Matthew Smith to come out within the next few weeks! :)

2010: What An Amazing Year Its Been!

Hello World,

this is my 100th post, and the last day of 2010! What an extraordinary year it has been, with everything I have accomplished within the past twelve months.

I have been blessed to have made it through 2009 (financially) and now I'm finishing up my second year in business, Allen Zaki Photography. I've photographed SOOOOOOOO many people and things in 2010, that I am so proud of, and even more ecstatic for what's to come in 2011!!

Below is a sampling of all the things I've shot in 2010, and I'd like to thank EVERYONE who has helped me accomplish all this great work! My AMAZING TEAMS of artists, all the publicists, celebrities, friends, and family, without whom I couldn't have made it through this year!

Its been an amazing journey, and I know there are only hundreds/thousands of good things to come for me and my business in 2011!!!

Here's to new beginnings, and the unexpected future! Happy New Year!!!
