Leonrad Nemoy vs Herb Ritts world famous photographers
These photographs were taken by two of my favorite photographers ( Herb Ritts), a Known Fashion photographer in the 80’s and 90’s and Leonard Nimoy , a celebrated actor known for his Tv show role as Mr. Spock in Start Trek Enterprise!
These captivating images demonstrate more than two decades of social evolution in a single image. I am sure Herb never saw this coming! Leonard’s take on one of his famous and most controversial images that put his name on the map as a top fashion photographer
20 years ago no one could ever imagine publishing Leonards photos in any magazine, let alone coming to terms with accepting the fact that Fat is Good and being Fit is no longer a requirement in the world of beauty or fashion photography.
But what’s next? where do we go from here? where do we draw the line? at 200, 300, 400 or a 1000 pounds? at what point it’s ok to say to NO…that is not a healthy looking body or a life style!
In the U.S alone 4 out of 5 kids under the age of 10 are considered obese and 3 out of 5 of those kids have diabetes! and we still tell ourselves that Fat is beautiful and we tell our kids it’s ok to be over weight, because everyone else is!
Tanya’s Journey as one of the youngest up and coming fashion photographers in Los Angeles,
started in her teen years, when she lived and worked in a relatively small town in Czech Republic called Ostrava!
According to her own words, she used to be a big admirer of Shaun Alexander’s work and dream about shooting with such a photographer from an early age. Not knowing that the law of attractions were on her side and a few short years later, She was discovered and contacted directly by her all time favorite photographer,Shaun Alexander from a small community of models and photographers forum in Czech Republic
A faithful day that changed both their lives forever! Shortly after shooting series of incredible sessions with Shaun in Prague, Tanya moved to Los Angeles in order to pursue her dreams of modeling and all the other opportunities that this great city has to offer a young and talented individual like her
The number of incredible work these two created together is the testament to their mutual admiration for one another. Tanya quickly picked up Shaun’s decades of trade secrets and eye for perfection with her uncanny talent, and with her taste in fashion and styling, She began working as Shaun’s right hand fashion stylist and Workshops coordinator for many campaign shoots and Shaun Alexander Photography Workshops

It did not take too long before Tanya picked up a camera and started experimenting the challenges behind the camera as a photographer
Her very first photo shoot was a combination of natural passion and talent combined with years of paying attention to details while working and assisting her favorite fashion photographer and mentor!
It was no surprise to Shaun nor anyone else to see her talent blossom or even explode in such a short amount of time, and find her true love and passion behind the camera as opposed to being in front of the camera as a beautiful model. Tanya’s diverse talent is see in her work, especially in her most recent travel documentary street photography titled GHOST STORIES OF FLORENCE .
Tanya’s eye for perfection and composition can be compared to some of the greatest photographers of all time. GHOST STORIES OF FLORENCE mark the beginning of her journey to become one of the greatest fashion photographers of the 21st century. Like many other world famous photographers. She followed her heart and passion into the world of known! We should all look out for her successful career closely in the years to come!
“You are destined for greatness and the torch bearer of my legacy. I love you forever! Shaun writes to Tanya”
This week, I had a pleasure of working with a very beautiful young teen model named from Orange County, her old soul and old fashion beauty was the inspiration to create these lovely images that depict the popular old Hollywood movie stars of the 40’s, 50’s or 60’s
Ok, I must admit that my fascination with the old Hollywood Glamour style of photography started with following some of my favorite movie stars as a kid , icons like; Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn,Liz Taylor,Marlyn Dietrich , Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart , James Dean, etc… I could not get enough of watching those beautiful Black and white movies and collecting their stunning black and white headshots and movie posters…to me and to rest of the world, they represented fame, life style, and class that everyone could only dream of! Not knowing that someday I’d be able to work with some of them myself! but I always knew that behind every iconic image stands a great photographer and that became my motto and inspiration to learn and study some of the greatest photography masters of those eras and try to understand the one magical formula they all had in common! and that was the “LIGHTING” Which may seem simple at first, yet it is as complex as it can be!
Simple, because almost every photographer back then used one or two lights to create the most beautiful portraits, for instance George Hurrel , the master of old Hollywood glamour portrait photography, his lighting was very simple and yet, his work seemed so beautiful and complex, because no one could do what he did…and that made him very special! the same goes with Helmet Newton, Richard Avedon and few other top photographers and masters I have written about in my previous posts
I guess, what I am trying to say is that ” only by perseverance and patience one can truly master his craft! and only then he is remembered as one!”
Thanks to my lovely Makeup and hair stylist: Tammy Suarez and my amazing assistant and fashion stylist Tanya Antalikova and our beautiful model: Safiya Witt

My beautiful daughter Jordan Jane has always been the light of my life, the force that keeps me going everyday and my true love.
The pictures below show her as a beautiful baby at age of 4 , turned into a gorgeous teen at age 14
Jordan attends West Lake High school , playing Volleyball professionally for the past 3 years while keeping her grades up and hoping to get a scholarship at NYU to become a cinematographer / Film Director in the near future! Her latest portrait is a testament to her beauty, strength and confidence as a determined young adult that can achieve anything in life
In my opinion what makes her even more beautiful is her inner love , light and old soul that have been guiding her to become such an incredible person that she is today
I am her #1 fan and believer that she will be the best at whatever she decides to be and forever grateful to have her as my daughter.

In many years of shooting and working with 1000’s of top male and female models all around the world, every once in a while I come across a model that is truly a pleasure to work with and he or she can be the reminder of why I chose this profession , the joy of making timeless and beautiful images is the greatest feeling in the world! Brent was a true professional all the way around, from showing up on time to knowing how to work and create the feel and the mood I was after. I think these series of images can show his versatility and variety of great expressions he was able to portray in a very short amount of time, with ease and almost very little effort on his part and almost no directions from my end I plan to work with Brent many more times and this article is a gesture of my gratitude for allowing me to create these captivating images and of course to thank him for his kind words which he wrote me shortly after our shoot: I’ve been working as a male model for over 15 years in Los Angeles and I can honestly say, Shaun is one of the best fashion photographers I’ve had the pleasure to work with. He made the shoot fun and very much a collaboration, as opposed to just showing up and taking photos. You can tell he loves what he does and it shows in his photography. Besides being just all around great to work with he’s very good at what he does. The photos I got from our shoot are classic and timeless. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for great photos for their portfolio. He’s the best!

Luxury Fashion Photography by Shaun Alexander in Prague
Most people always ask me if I shoot everything in Black and white!
To everyone’s surprise, I shoot everything in color and then converting them to a perfect shade of BW
you may wonder why? well, after decades of doing what I do and teaching photography for at least half of my long 30+ years in the photography business, for some reason I personally prefer Black and White images due to the fact that they offer less distraction and more information about the subject, lighting, contrast and the composition of each photographs VS too colorful images that may distract away from those important components, if not done well
Therefore, keeping in mind those very basic rules ( lighting, Contrast and composition), color photos can also be equally appealing!
These extremely colorful images offer a similar experience as my black and white photograophy work, yet with vibrant and exciting colors
let you be the judge of that!

Iconic headshots for celebrity actor Kiko Ellsworth by Shaun Alexander studios – Hollywood California
Recently I had a pleasure of working with a very talented actor and an unbelievable human being named Kiko Ellsworth, His extraordinary talent as an actor is like nothing I have ever seen in the past 30 years of my career in Hollywood as a celebrity fashion photographer. I must say our shoot was magical and here are a few words he wrote me after our amazing photo session: I believe Shaun Alexander is the most generous photographer I have ever worked with. Generous with so many things from his personal take on life to the passion he bursts with behind the camera. I was definitely impressed with the sumptuous tiramisu he shared with me after the shoot as well as the fact that he superbly hand made himself.
As soon as I walked into his studio I knew from the feel, the music, the adornments, to the costumes and his assistants that this was the kind of warm yet high calibre studio I had envisioned for this shoot. It was energetic, artsy, layered with endless possibilities and very inviting to have an all day shoot in.
Natural and effortless passion behind the camera with exciting bursts of ecstatic rapture every time he got “that” shot! I enjoyed the experience of seeing Shaun get a great shot whoever he might’ve been getting it from at the moment. Although I gotta admit, on this amazing day I was grateful it was from me.
We got this one particular shot (of many) that I swear was put together by the heavens and our angels…you had to be there for the serendipity of how this all came together…(you know when words just won’t suffice…but i’ll try)
So, out of nowhere during the middle of the shoot he pulls out this random 3/4 length brown and beige coat, we paired it with one of my hats that I, by pure chance alone, threw in the wardrobe bag last minute, to his gut instinct to switch to the perfect background….magic….pure and simple magic….what came next I never experienced before in the 15 years of my entire professional acting career.
Snap snap click click….He shows me one of the shots….. and I was literally HIT with a tidal wave of emotion that brought me to a convulsion of tears…whoa tiger…whats going on here?….Is this really happening right now? All I could do in that moment was put my head down, fist to my eyes and weep like a little baby. I know i’m a sensitive guy but damn! What I didn’t know, was that I was waiting for a shot like that for my entire acting career. What he captured in that shot was something I had been expressing on camera for many years, but never caught it in a still image. Something that expressive, raw, perfect wardrobe, masterfully lit between light and shadow….thank you Shaun. The perfect environment was created for me to be at ease and let my unique authentic light shine.
This shoot turned out so much better than I imagined! Thank you for your artistry Shaun. It brought out the best in mine!
Shaun Alexander is a top fashion photographer who’s taken a great fashion photograph to a higher level. During his shoots atmosphere is a really important thing to him. It makes the people he works with and himself more creative and relaxed. Even the concentration level will be higher so the results will be exhausting. He is a man of details and he will always keep his energie high so the photoshoot will be worth it from the beginning to the very last end.
He is also a man with patience, because for him is the most important thing to create something amazing all together. As an assistant of Shaun I really can learn so many things from him. He takes time during the shoots to explain what he is doing and even more important, why. He always want to be sure I get the things he is doing.
I will call him a true artist because his photographs are more than just a photograph, Besides being a top fashion photographer, we can call him a true painter. Inspired by the biggest painters like Rembrandt, van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, he makes his own artwork. Instead of using real brushes he is using light as a main ingredient in his work. With this way of working he is creating almost three dimensional photographs Every piece in the picture will feel like you can really touch it. Every highlight he is using, is used for a reason.
His job in life is to make our world even more beautiful. It gives people confidence, because he shows everyones their true beauty. He knows how to catch everyone’s beauty and still keep the person as they really are
