I agree with # 1 the twins are so cute.
THESE ARE NICE PICS….
LMFAOOO CAN YOU SAY UNORGINIAL!!! SMH @ THE PEOPLE COMPARING HIM TO TYRA….SHE DID IT FIRST AND HE COPIED! HER CREDIT IS THERE REGARDLESS. THIS MAN ON THE OTHER HAND JUST HAS A GOOD EDITOR.
CIARA IS SO DAMN UGLY..
AND ANOTHER THING….
IF HE WANTS HIS BOOK TO SALE HE BETTER GET SOME REAL CELEBS! GOLD DIGGIN BABY MAMA’S, REALITY TV WHORES, AND FORGOTTEN SINGERS DON’T COUNT.
this is hott!! luv it!
Pics are tight as hell! Eva’s caught my eye asap & I don’t even like her!
Bre, Michael & Ciara’s are tight too!
THIS IS SO HOT!!
kim’s twin girls are cutie pies!
i love every photo. especially bre’s. mmmmmm, bre……
talent at its best
Everybody looks great, except Kym Porter. Hers looks way amateur and she’s an actual model (and the most experience model used) ! Her picture isn’t cute…it isn’t the babies, but her that look weird. It looks like I took her picture in my kitchen or something.
And, Eva looks stunning but her arm looks crazy…I can see how they superimposed the pics…
The pictures are nice and I just adore those twins!!!!
These pictures are crazy! I love how he did Ciara because it shows Ciara can be versatile in looks love it!
THESE ARE SOME GOOD PHOTOS HE DID
Very nice shots of Akon…He looks good.
alrite michael!
For those who say that Kim Porter looks nice, think again please. She looks like a skinny ass transvestite gone wrong. I’ve seen better looking transvestites.
On the other hand, the concept was great and creative. I love the pictures. I think everyone did a beautiful job and that these are great. I really do like them all except K.P.s. I don’t really like her face in it. I don’t see and alter ego there. Just the same person holding twins. But thats not Derek Blanks fault. Whatever.
LOVE IT!…eva’s is F I E R C E
read comment 124! wtf… you don’t know what da hell you are talking about. News flash! tyra was not the first to do an alter ego. Also, you must be a hater photographer. Lighting is key in a good photo. Check out his website. he does his own editing. Maybe you should post some of your work.
139….
WELL TYRA DID IT BEFORE HIM AND THE ONLY REASON I BROUGHT HER UP IS BECAUSE PEOPLE WERE COMPARING HIS WORK TO WHAT TYRA DID ON TOP MODEL.
ANYWAYS, LMFAO @ YOU TRYING TO PLUG OL’ BOYS SITE. I’LL PASS, LIKE I SAID, I’LL CHECK FOR HIM WHEN HE GETS SOME REAL CELEBRITIES, NOT THIS ATLANTA GUTTER GARBAGE HE’S USING NOW…..
hott!!!!!!!!!
This is a hot shoot…he did his thing. There are a few other people who I would have liked to see here though, but its definitely on point.
#139. why don’t you share where you are from?????? u are a joke. i guess can’t read either. la, nyc, atl too.
all the pics are beautiful and angel theres a nice collage he did with monica that i saw on other sites
AMERIE PIC IS THE BEST. ALL THE OTHERS LOOKED GIMMICKY.
Amerie’s is killin it! i love it
“stupid people” shut your damn mouth just cause you look like a piece of garbage dont mean you gotta hate on ciaras fine ass. skank!!! thats what you are!! your always posting stupid shit how about you give me your location so i can come beat your ass down maybe cut your throat!
neato!
Monica’s was fierce and I don’t see it, but the the pics are the ish tho.
Those are some very nice photos… all of them look nice
Stupid People has my full agreement. I agree with SP and Gina. MEDIOCRE and these are B if not C grade celebrities. A photographer shouldn’t have to use celebs of any level to get their work noticed if the work can stand for itself and is good. In this case an unoriginal concept could only get any press using someone with some sort of notoriety. Ahh well.
These pictures are truly one of a kind….I LOVE IT!
Ciara has the best picture…HANDS DOWN. She looks flawless.
143 “HATER BLOCKER”
I’M FROM CALI, AND I DON’T SEE ANYONE FROM HERE.
BRE’S FROM NYC, BUT ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO ARGUE THAT SHE’S A CELEB? WHAT HAS SHE DONE SINCE TOP MODEL? UMMM NOTHING! SHE’S A USELESS HOODRAT WHO HAPPENED TO MAKE IT ON TV….WOW, ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO APPLAUD THAT? UM, I’LL PASS!
147 BVARNEY…..
HUSH BITCH! YOU AIN’T GON DO SHIT, I GUARANTEE THAT. YOUR GHETTO ASS COULDN’T AFFORD A TICKET TO WHERE I’M AT IF YOU WANTED TO. I’M IN THE STATE WHERE THE SUN ALWAYS SHINESSSS, WHILE YOU’RE PROBABLY IN THE COUNTRY ASS SOUTH GETTIN FLOODED THE FUCK OUT YOUR SHACK! BITCH YOU DON’T WANT IT, SO KEEP TAPPIN AT THEM KEYS CAUSE BELIEVE ME BITCH, THAT’S THE MOST YOU’LL EVER DO!
@ #147 aka BVARNEY
Bitch please you couldn’t blow out candles without help.
@STUPID PEOPLE
Hey girl watsup
LOVE ME SOME MICHEAL KNIGHT ALL I GOTTA SAY
do your research. tisha campbell, rockmond dunbar, brandy, terry crews, jackie long, eva, vanessa williams, and many more people are in the project. people always making comments and don’t know what the hell they aare talking about!
I LOVE THE PICTURES I WONNA DO SUMTHIN LIKE THAT!! LOL
How AWESOME ARE THESE PHOTOS.
using creative talent….4 thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope Ciara doesn’t read this blog, and I wish I would have responded a lot sooner so that I could see what others thought. But IT has always been rumored that Ciara was a hermaphodite.(sp) And in this pic it clearly looks as if she has something down there. I’m not hating. It just trips me out that more people didn’t have something to say about this. I’m one of those people who over think things,and i’m sitting here like what if it is true, but would Bow Wow or 50 date her if she wasn’t giving it up. Some may think i’m ignorant and maybe the Rumors came from the fact that she has a fat cat, so maybe when she was younger if she had a swim suit on everyone would make fun. IDK I”m just saying something aint right about that pic and the rumors.
157 “HATER BLOCKER”
THE ONLY PERSON ON YOUR LIST WORTH MENTIONING IS VANESSA WILLIAMS. LMFAO @ YOU NAMING THE REST LIKE THEY DOING IT BIG IN HOLLYWOOD. WHERE’S DENZEL, FOREST WHITAKER, SAM JACKSON, AND OTHER BLACK CELEBS THAT ACUTALLY MATTER AND MAKE MOVES? LOLLLL @ YOU NAMING JACKIE LONG. BOY PLEASE, HE’S MOST KNOWN FOR BEING SERENA WILLIAM’S EX-BOYFRIEND. TRY AGAIN.
LMFAO @ YOU TELLING ME TO DO RESEARCH. HOW ABOUT YOU TELL HIM TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND BE ORIGNIAL INSTEAD OF COMING UP WITH CONCEPTS THAT ACCORDING TO YOU, HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE BY MANY.
go ci ci go ci ci .LOL Work ladies and gents.
Did y’all see Ciara’s package?
BIGGGGG.
you name is sooo right. except change the people to you! lol i bet you are sooo lame, that’s why you are such a hater though.
The “package” between her legs is probably a prop for the photo. Ciara loves to explore her masculine side so it doesn’t surprise me that she would stuff a sock in her va-jay-jay to make her look more masculine.
THE PICTURES ARE VERY CREATIVE. THE ONE THAT I REALLY LIKE IS KIM PORTER WITH HER TWINS. THEY ARE SOME BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRLS. ALL THE PICTURES WERE NICE..
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
these picture are nice..
the one’s of eva and ciara..are giving me everything i need an more..!!
These are really nice….very creative..wonder how much?
absolutely breath taking!!!! I hope to get photo’s like that soon!!!! U’r gift is crazy
It’s perfect time to make some plans for the long run and it’s time to be happy. I’ve learn this put up and if I could I wish to counsel you some attention-grabbing issues or tips. Maybe you could write subsequent articles referring to this article. I want to read more issues about it!
