sequoiaemmanuelle: A few months ago I had a photo shoot for Dark Beauty Magazine with Icon Amanda Lepore, who has been seen in many of David Lachapelle’s photos for the last 15-20 years. That’s where I first saw her, in one of his books. It was such an honor to be able to meet Amanda and get the opportunity to work with her, after seeing her through David’s work, who has been one of my biggest influences in photography. What a blessing and full circle to have this experience, and on top of it, she invited me to her show this week in Hollywood to introduce me to David LaChapelle himself. This is just another beautiful example of the power of manifestation, following your dreams and staying focused on your path with patience. Please enjoy these pictures, but I really hope you will read the article and interview with Amanda, as it tells a heartfelt story of her personal journey as a transgender woman, and also my experience in New York, spending time with her in the nightlife of NYC.
