Support Your Local Artists! https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2023/3/support-your-local-artists I am in the pre-production stage of writing my first book, and shooting a short film focused on many Chicago artists. I am trying to raise the realistic goal of $5000.00, to procure key components of this production. This money will be used for securing talent, locations, equipment, food, travel, and final production. I estimate the cost to be upward of $10,000, therefore I have already invested  small fortune in this process. Thank you for any contributions received, even if it is only in the form of moral support.

2015 Year End Review https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2015/12/2015-year-end "When something seems true to me, it becomes part of me. That is how I learn."

         What can I say about 2015, a lot I guess! This year was spent taking on less projects and spending less time behind the camera. Compared to previous years, my motivation to attend so many events and find artists for creative development decreased tremendously. I felt I needed to pace myself so that I didn't start to develop any ill feelings towards my passion for photography. The life of an artist is often a tough one. There is a balance that is much needed like all things in life. I want to create as much as possible, but the creations aren't enough to sustain my lifestyle, so basically "work" has to happen to fund the movement. I have spent the majority of the year working on creative ideas, and also strategies that will increase my brand exposure. I am ready for the new year to show the world what I have learned so far. I am humbled by each and every one of you that take the time out of your busy lives, to share in a piece of mine. Thanks again! Here are a couple of shots from this past year. Enjoy.

 

Happy Holidays,

Philip Minefee

Dean Reid's Speedlite at the Beach Photographers workshop - Behind the Scenes (NO FLASH) https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2014/7/dean-reids-speedlite-at-the-beach-photographers-workshop---behind-the-scenes-no-flash The weather was a perfect 79 degrees, with clear blue skies. On July 19th, 2014, I had the pleasure of shadowing professional photographer, Dean Reid, at his Speedlight photography workshop in Chicago, Illinois.  The purpose of my behind the scenes coverage, was to simply watch a master at work. I am writing a book and directing a short film, and wanted to observe how Dean Reid captures that "perfect" shot. I was amazed at how effortlessly he directed the models, and was able to get such lovely poses using minimal verbal cues. He instructed the attending photographers on proper camera settings, angles, and how to correctly set up the speedlights. He also offered tips on how to keep the models skin glowing and radiant. Overall, the workshop was a huge success. I am extremely thankful for having the privilege of working with such a talented professional.

(All photos were taken without flash for behind the scenes coverage.)

Coffee with Carlee Marincic https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2014/2/coffee-with-carlee-marincic

How would you describe your professional interests?

Anything that let's me express my personality through my work. I love doing photoshoots mainly for the fact that I always have that leeway of tweeking things to make them unique to my talents.

11

Who are some of your favorite models and designers, and why?

 I will always be a huge fan of Betsey Johnson and Jeremy Scott. They both know how to do what they love to do with passion, and I love that you can feel it through their designs.

How would you describe your style? Consider anything and everything from color to historical eras and more.

My style is very unique, and I would definitely say I am heavily influenced by the fashion of the 90's right now. Everything from big daisies on my crop top, to my dad's grungy flannel. I love being crafty with my clothes. I'm always cutting or sewing something up!
IMG_1325IMG_1325
 
What makes Chicago fashion unique?

 So many diverse people can only mean many diverse fashion senses.

IMG_1404IMG_1404

What does fashion mean to you?

 Fashion means self expression at the highest form!

 

What distinguishes a good model from a bad one?

Good attitude and fun to work with. 22

Describe the atmosphere when you're on a shoot. Do you play music? Do you talk with the photographer between shots?

Cool, calm, and collected! I love working with Philip! We're always on that same level of creativeness, and it's great working with people that allow your mind to just explode.

Who are you and what do you do?

I'm Skooda Chose. American rap star, lol, K-Town legend. Soon to be top 5 dead or alive!!! I spit stupid dope rhymes all the time, and hit dimes!

IMG_5585IMG_5585

Professionally, what’s your goal?

To gain as much prestige as possible while simultaneously changing the world for the better!

 
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?
My uncle Karl told me "dont lighten up, tighten up" lol in other words go hard!
 
 
Name something you love, and why.
My family, because these are the people that love me, no matter what in any circumstance!
 
What makes you angry?
D**k riders!
 
Should art be funded?
Of course, what would life be without the arts!? Art makes life worth living, and artists need to be mentally and financially stable to create his best works in my mind!
 
What do you love about your work?

 I love the reaction I get from my work...I need n!gg*s to say I cant believe your words! <jay z voice>

 
What’s your favorite body of work?
VULTURE KULTURE (Release Date: 3/10/2014)
 
 
What role does the artist have in society?  
The artist is a very integral part of society! We're like the motor oils that keep the vehicle of everyday life rolling. We create the music you listen to while you're driving, partying, watching tv, having sex, etc.  We help create these memories that people will cherish for lifetimes!
 
 
Is America so superficial that the best lyrical artists are surpassed and outsold by generic mainstream artists?
I dont think so. In reality lyricist are winning. Artists' like Ye (Kanye West), Em (Eminem), Hov (Jay-Z), K Dot (Kendrick Lamar), Rozay (Rick Ross), and Schoolboy Q are selling at the top of the genre. That other sh!t is microwavable, here today gone today! The catchy hooks and beats are definitely needed to grab the audience attention, but the lyrics are going to keep people a fan of your music! Long live the lyricist

10 Questions with Tesheena Marie https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2014/2/10-questions-with-tesheena-marie "The world is your runway. So always walk tall and strut your best stuff."

 

How would you describe your professional interests?

Being that most of my career I haven't fit the typical fashion model measurements, my professional interest is to build a resume of great work as a model that will aid my interest in building a women's fashion brand to empower women of various backgrounds. The experiences that I've had being a proportion in between the standards, has made me pay attention to the fit accommodations in women's clothing. I hope that my example will lead more women to shine against society's boxes of what is beautiful in the fashion industry.

IMG_7222IMG_7222

 

What's your background in modeling? When and why did you get started? Was it for the glamour? The money? Pure kicks?

I started out in h.s. at a modeling club after school. I was an artist and designer working on sets and was dared to hit the runway. Id been in heels since 6th grade and my mom is a diva, so it was nothing. Lol. During college for fashion design, I really started to pursue modeling because everyone told me I had the height and look. I found that I had a natural gift for runway. I Spent my first year of modeling doing trunk shows for department stores in downtown Chicago, and for designers coming out of the Merchandise Mart. That's where I was approached by a rep for Ford Models who suggested I submit to become one of their plus size models. I didn't get their attention the 1st 6 times I went to their office, but that's what motivated me to pursue this industry. It was not until my 7th audition, I got called into their office for a development contract. I worked with Ford for a year and a half. I completed two seasons of fashion shows, the Magic show in Vegas, and learned a great deal about the fashion industry. Since then I've worked as a freelance model for various production companies, trade shows, and a touring company.

 

Who are some of your favorite models and designers, and why?

My favorite model of all time is Naomi Campbell because she has broken so many barriers in the industry and has proven to be absolutely timeless on the runway. Everyone loves Tyra (Banks) as their model idol, but I love her more as a business woman. She is a prime example of how to show the world that there is no barrier for what women are capable of. Tyra exudes diversity, versatility and an essential perspective. However, this new comer Kate Upton has me in awe! Im happy, that as a model with curves she exists at her level. That woman is finally giving us "MEAT" in fashion!

My favorite designer would have to be Diane Von Furstenberg. Her brand embodies the image of a strong, sexy woman with many roles to play in life. She designs for real women, not just fashion models. Others, like Zac Posen and Marc Jacobs just understands a woman's body and how women want to be sexy yet classy. Every season I always want Bebe and Louis Vuitton's entire collections.

 

Which fashion magazines, websites, blogs, and catalogs do you visit most often?

Im obsessed with Women's Wear Daily. I want to know what the editors, buyers and fashion Gods of the industry deem the hottess, latest, before the public. Also Vogue, W and In Style magazines. Blog wise, I like Fashion Bomb Daily and Ford Model's blogs.

IMG_7236IMG_7236

 

Where do you generally shop?

I love target because I'm a mom, but Zara, Express, H&M ,and im also a huge thrifter. I go nuts in thrift stores. I tend to find a lot of great designer label pieces just unworn, with tags still on them. There is nothing worse than wasted fashion. Dont buy it, if you're not going to wear it. You must love or need it, lbs.

 

What's your fashion mantra?

"The world is your runway. So always walk tall and strut your best stuff." Lol. Something my Diva Mom has always told me.

 

 

How would you describe your style? Consider anything and everything from color to historical eras and more.

My style is a sexy but classy type. A Dorothy Dandridge meets artsy hippie. I like to mix a little classic beauty elements with my urban artist vibe.

 

 

Out of all of the photos the photographer took of you, which is your favorite and why?

Thats hard to say and not fair, I have so many, lol. Umm.. ok, Shining Armor... the whole sunrise shoot, and the Butterfly shot. All were ART. They could also be brand ads in my opinion.

 

What makes "Chicago" fashion unique?

Chicago fashion tends to pull from a multitude of influences. We're never just on one track, we aim to be different and have a lilttle shock value.

 

What advice do you have for other aspiring models?

Study your craft. Practice. Everyone has to practice. Mirror time and walking practice. It builds confidence. It shouldn't be about vanity but angels and perspective. Know how you look at every angle. Y'all can thank me later, lol.

IMG_7223IMG_7223

 

 

How do you prepare for a modeling shoot?

I try to get sleep at least 8 hrs. Water, lots of water and eat a large, but healthy meal at least like 12 hours before the shoot. I will do tear sheets from magazines, help with posing ideas on the side to keep the shoot fluid. A short workout for like 30mins.

 

How would you describe working with the photographer?

I think we vibe well together.  He's technical but will catch you in the moment from an artistic eye. It's always a pleasure working with him too because he gives you good direction when he wants something specific but lets you do you. Phil provides a great deal of balance. Fun but serious.

Jax Turyna https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2013/7/jax-turyna         Jax is definitely one of a kind. As beautiful as she is, she is equally down to earth and an overall pleasure to work with. I had the chance to catch up with her in between the various projects she is involved in. We took a stroll along the beach and decided to just go with the flow of things. I was simply blown away by her presence and demeanor in front of the camera. I have a lot more in store for future collaborations with the lovely Jax Turyna.

Antony & The Tramps @ The Hideout Chicago https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2013/5/antony-the-tramps-the-hideout-chicago  

“We call it American Gypsy, because it wanders but isn’t lost.  Its a tramp, you can’t get lost when you’re in love with where you are.”

Formed in 2011, songwriter/director Antony Ablan began his search for a band–a group of musicians that could handle, with grace, the wildly eclectic and dynamic changes in mood of his writing.  “It was several months of working with all sorts of great players before I found the right fit.  When it clicked it was so obvious to me, I knew these were the right musicians, it finally worked.”

The Band
Kedgrick Pullums Jr. // Woodwinds, Organs, Pianos, Vocals
Joseph Messing // Guitar, Vocals
Chris Palmerin // Drum Kit & Percussion
Mattie Livensparger // Organ, Percussion
Erick Memmesheimer // Percussion
Daniel Huber // Electric Upright Bass
Antony Ablan // Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Vocals, Miscellaneous
And Guest Musicians:
Anthony Moser – Background vocals on Hayward Song
Johndavid Profit // Trumpet on Song for Sweet Thing
Megan Schillinger // Background vocals on Ninas Dream
Party of Tramps // Background vocals on Gypsy Crow #3 and Gold Rush

Excerpt from http://www.antonyablan.com/about/

Lee England Jr. https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2013/4/lee-england-jr  

The photographs from this collection are some of the very first images produced under the "PMP" brand. 

I had the opportunity to photograph Lee England Jr. in the summer of 2011, while he was street performing at the Taste Of Chicago. If you have never heard him play his violin, you are truly missing something special.  His dedication to his craft is heard in every song that he plays.  Over the years I have watched him grow as an artist. The first time I heard him play was in the student center at Southern Illinois University (Carbondale). He had a crowd of people standing around him, calling out random songs, as he played each one by either memory or ear. The feat was remarkable, because it was all done by one man and one violin. In the years thereafter, I have watched him share the stage with countless musicians. I have the pleasure to call him a friend, and watching his climb in the music industry is definitely an inspiration to me and my work.

Downtown 88 https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2013/4/downtown-88     The celebration of the life and talents of renowned Chicago artist Hebru Brantley, has simply been called the "best party of the year, so far". The party was held at Lacuna Artists Loft Studios in Chicago, Il, and sponsored by Hennessy Black Cognac and Skyy Vodka. The event brought many Chicago socialites together for a fun night, filled with creative artworks and classic hip-hop tunes spun by Q-Tip of the legendary group, A Tribe Called Quest. This was a must attend event on my list, and it definitely lived up to the hype. Check out more work from Hebru Brantey at http://hebrubrantley.com/.

Hebru Brantley - Brothers of the Robbing Hood Closing Event https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2012/12/hebru-brantley---brothers-of-the-robbing-hood-closing-event  

Hebru Brantley - 
 
Growing up, black exploitation and science fiction depicted in cinema urged Brantley to express himself visually. Visual artists such as Romare Bearden, Keith Haring, Basquiat and Black Folk art also influenced his up-bringing. Toppled with an affinity for mythological comic heroes and Japanese anime, Brantley began infusing the two worlds in his work.
 
The paintings depict triumphantly defiant beings with raw emotion, drawing from youthful expression. They capture the universal essence of the human condition through an energetic portrayal of urban characters. The work comes about spontaneously, utilizing a vast array of mediums such as wood, found objects, spray paint, coffee and tea. He constructs multi-layered, textured environments referential of the complex, urban life. Brantley tells the stories of his peers and of the spaces which they occupy.
 
He earned his BA in Film in Atlanta and went on to design and illustrate for media production and clothing companies. His former work in graffiti art influenced the transition to canvas where he began to make a name for himself in the contemporary art scene of Atlanta. He now lives and works in Chicago.

J. Hollins https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2012/12/jay-hollins  

Chicago native, J. Hollins is highly respected amongst his peers for his ability to masterfully fuse the traditions of rock, gospel, funk, hip-hop, blues, and soul, all while keeping his lyrics fresh and reflective.  He has worked with a number of industry heavyweights including, Grammy award-winning singer Mary J. Blige and Grammy-nominated producer Chucky Thompson. After much success in the UK as a writer, J. Hollins stepped away from a lucrative deal with a major recording company to release his first full-length solo album, The Chronicles, in 2005.  Despite the album not reaching mainstream success, J.Hollins captured a faithful audience that resulted in unbelievable sales for an indie artist. In 2010, he released his second album, The Soul Renaissance LP.  The album produced a number of radio hits, including Toast and the international smash Because of You. J. Hollins is now poised to release his next project This is Me Volume II. J. Hollins first offering from This is Me Volume II is a string, bass drum driven, heartfelt hip-hop and r&b hybrid titled, Me and My Pen; produced by Carlos Wilder. Me and My Pen will be available on iTunes, Amazon and everywhere digital music is sold November 27, 2012. This is Me Volume IIis slated for release in 2013.

"Skooda Chose" in Chiraq - Home Of The Brave https://www.philipminefeephotography.com/blog/2012/11/skooda-chose  

 

Skooda Chose

 

one of the Premier rappers in the windy city of Chicago, is blazing his way to worldwide stardom. His tales are the perfect balance of  street life in America, as well as shout outs to events and people from history. His intelligence is clearly evident in his lyrics.  For example on the song “Heir Chose” off of his highly acclaimed TFM2, he use statements like “…nothing surprise me, four words, come at me wisely”. In the same song he says “like Lenin to the Bolsheviks (The Bolsheviks, founded by Vladimir Lenin), know what I am so I boast of it, liquor pour toast of it”. This young mans’ wit and wordplay is truly a gift, and his catalogue is definitely worth a thorough listen.
