#24 [ Brooklyn ]

The Love the Pudge United States journey has begun, and with this new chapter, its about embracing it all--translating the confidence that radiates from the inside out to the images that make the campaign.  

. . .


The location: Brooklyn, New York. The individual--a young woman with an effervescent personality and television host aspirations. Her infectious smile and warm personality welcomed me into her cozy loft, complete with a chalkboard wall. Wishing to experience the "Love the Pudge effect" after an interview on the campaign, she stepped in front of her chalk wall. A bandeau top and high waisted pants framed a beautifully curvy body. After a ballet teacher nudged fun at her midsection at a young age, she struggled with insecurity. Innocent girl had just wanted to eat some fries in peace. Well, baring all to my lens, she truly flaunted her stuff. There was copious laughter, music for dancing, and lots of hip shaking. Her red lips encased that infectious smile that was filled with beaming confidence. She radiated fierceness.
