I am trained and experienced in the Art of-

Canon of Beauty - A canon is a Criterion, a model or an ideal that comes from the name of a statue by the ancient Greek sculptor Polyclitus, which Herodotus called the Canon because of its ideal form.

Beauty isn't only in the eye of the beholder; researchers found that we found attractive some face traits or body proportions because they are a reflection of good genes, reproductive capacity or fitness. People do appreciate some aspects in aesthetic beauty above others, although we are all unique and I feel that beauty is everywhere and in everyone personally... research has shown that as humans, we are known to be drawn to individuals that are close to us in looks, and to those who have the canon of beauty balance.

Canon of Beauty MU is the ART of a very specialized corrective MU, paying very close attention to the facial structure dimensions, creating a face of balance and harmony - making the face more pleasing to the viewer. Creating a Canon of Beauty on a Model brings more attention to the photo, and ultimately there is more of a pay off...the Mona Lisa is the supreme example of that~

I’ve been totally feeling the love from everyone congratulating me on Winning Bikini Bash Runway Competition 09! Thank you again for letting me be involved this year!

I totally can’t wait to see the pictures that were taken. With all the awesome photographers at the competition I’m sure they well look great!

...as far as the cert to work with SCALES, I actually have one already that says the hottest dude award. Is that the same cert you were talking about?

Also, I would love Seattle Fashion week’s contact info. When should I contact him about the photo shoot?

Thanks again for everything! :)
