The Baddest Bitch To Ever Hit This Town – Esthero

I first connected with Esthero through twitter a year ago.  She is by far one of my favorite female artists and I was following her on twitter.  One of her updates mentioned she would be in Vancouver, so on a whim I reached out and asked if she would be interested in shooting with me.  I was excited when she replied and wanted to make it happen.  It was a real honor to work with her and our first session was a success.

When I spent some time in LA last year, she took me out and treated me to some nightlife.  We went out the night she dyed her hair from red to blond, she turned heads with her new ‘do and I finally got to see LA at night. As it turned out we had a mutual friend, another incredible talent, Chin Injeti (who you can see all over my blog as well)

I caught up with her again a few months ago…and I can honestly say she’s one of the few women I’ve ever met who makes me nervous with her overpowering “cool” factor.  I would have dropped down and pulled a Wayne’s World “We’re not worthy” but I managed to hold it together (I’m a professional, right?)

I met her at her place, which is dubbed “the dollhouse”, which becomes obvious why when you step inside.  We decided to play around and take some casual shots for fun, and when she brought out her BIG ASS WOOD necklace (can you even call it a necklace?), I knew only this girl could pull it off in such a badass way.
