I'm in the process of preparing my portfolio with the goal of submitting to industry (magazines, agents, etc..) and have been looking at my current work for anything suitable to create a lookbook.   The more I check out my past stuff, the more I realize that I need to update and freshen my images.   One thing that I'm sorely lacking is good editorial stuff, like the stuff that Robert Ascroft does or something you'd see in a GQ spread.  

I've been scouring the net and looking at magazines for inspiration on how to achieve that editorial look that seems to be so popular and I'm discovering that I don't use natural light enough.   I think, in a sense, I've become slave to the flash.   So, I have set out to create a new body of work in the coming months to highlight my use of natural light as a primary light source.  

The shoot with Israel is the first of (hopefully) many of these types of shoot.   I'll post some of my favorites from the shoot.   I feel like I'm on the right track but I've got a ton of work ahead of me to build a sufficient body of work so I can "break out" into the commercial photography world.    It's daunting but I'm really motivated!
