This is the first time that I've ever been close to a Miss Universe contestant - Miss Haiti. Being a fashion photographer, it's always been one of the highest honours to do a photoshoot with the world icons of beauty.

We scheduled for a fashion photoshoot near Griffith Observatory. It was a very hot summer day, and she was wearing black. And later on I found out it was for her humanitarian cause.

She was also super easy to work with, and serious about the images too - how they are gonna be used, how to best present a female body etc.
