Style Profile: "Lauren Marie Pelaez" Photos by Nik Martiez, Styling by Stephanie Farah

Here at beScene, we are always looking for new models and fresh faces to work with.

Lauren Marie Pelaez is an up an coming model out of Miami, who just recently did a photoshoot with my my main man Nik Martnez.

Here is his portrayal of the shoot....

What can I say, working with Lauren was probably one of the funniest moments I've enjoyed in a long time. Our goal of this photoshoot was more of a "zombie" looking person. We found this great abandoned asylum that was all broken down and tagged up w/ graffiti so we though it should do the trick. Along for the ride was a great friend of ours, Stephanie Farah who was the MUA & Stylist for the shoot. She is currently attending The Art Institute, majoring in Fashion and is excellent at what she does. Lauren was very energtic, alive, expressive and comfortable with anything I shot at her. She was ready for whatever and is someone I will be working with more in the near future for upcoming projects.

As a purveyor of all things artistic, I, Nick Flash am always on the look out for slick new photographers to meet and collaborate with. After seeing some fantastic pictures of "Lauren Marie Palaez" an up an coming model out of Miami, I contacted her photographer Nik Martinez, so I can share with you some of his fantastic works. Check it out.


The name is Nik Martinez. I'm 21 years young and I'm just trying to make something out of nothing. I created my own business called Uneek Designs & the name has traveled little by little around Miami.

Photography to me is just a fun way of being free and capturing priceless and beautiful moments. I wouldn't categorize my work with any titles, but rather just a "uneek" style. I learn something new every day and I'm just building as I grow.

As people change when they mature, my work is something that will have a constant change as well. I love working with themes and just energetic, fun people. If you're in Miami and need a fun photographer to work with, contact me! My prices are very inexpensive & extra goodies are always added such as a special edit to the photo such as texture wrapping, changes of backgrounds, designs, etc.

My starting package is only $120!
-20 professionally edited photos.
-2 outfit changes
-1 location

I always have special deals & discounts so be on the look out!
My most popular deal is the "unique - discount".
How does this work?
-If you're interested in a photoshoot and can come up with a unique theme to the shoot rather than just your basic "hey lets do a shoot at the beach", I'll be sure to hook you up. Word is bond :)

Bobby Ray Photography

"As long as I still have a breath of life in me, there will be chances to capture the loudness of color, space and motion into the stillness of silent frames…”
-Bobby Ray

"Born in Nicaragua, and residing in Miami and occasionally the Big Apple, this 25 year old fashion photographer is starting to take the fashion world by storm. With little background in visual arts, and a passion for music, dance and fashion, he decided that in May of 2007 that he would embark on a new journey. He found himself in a new world, a world of flashes, stage sets, models and high fashion. Little did he know he would fall in love with this new and unknown art form.

"In less than a year he established great recognition, in January of 2008 he was named photographer of the month by www. Models.com. Since then he has been published in a number of magazines and articles such as DisFunkShion and Spotlight Magazine. Photo shoot after Photo shoot, he never ceases to challenge himself. He pushes the envelope by always adding something new and exciting to any task that he’s been given, creating timeless masterpieces for both himself and his muse.

"He finds inspiration in everything he sees, feels, hears, touches, and tastes. Because, he is so intoned with his creative senses he can take advantage of any location, whether condition, time of day and including any and all working conditions. Once he feels the core of the shoot, he brings the model into his world and makes the picture come to life. Flexibility, positive attitudes, and an open heart also provide great inspirations for any shoot. Bobby doesn’t set any limits or follow any rules, leaving that to the model and taking them as far as they will allow him to.

"Photography is an art I'm grounded to love and learning to control, being able to be a man of vision and willing to see beyond an object, a being, an existence, and take it to that place where a name is not loud enough to be heard. A place where imagination is the limit and imagination knows no limits..."

Super J at The Improv

Here at "Be Scene" one of my main focuses is to bring you what I think is the hippest & freshest styles and trends before they hit the mainstream. I've always known I've had a knack for discovering new talent, so I am here to introduce you to a fresh new face that soon will have a big impact on the comedy scene. His name is Jordan Garnett aka. Super J.

Jordan is only 17 years old, but his sense of humor and delivery of jokes puts him in the ranks of some of the best comedians in the business.I first ran into "Super J " on myspace about a year ago. Check it out here myspace.com/jordanissohot
At the time, he was hosting a weekly podcast that had me rolling on the floor in hysteria every time I heard it. He was only a freshman or sophomore in high school then, but he already had half of the school following him online and anxious to hear what antics he was up to from week to week. Aside from that, he was also posting hilarious video's on youtube reminiscent of old school Tom Green videos, but with his own unique twist.

Check out his Youtube Channel here.. Jordan On You Tube

After realizing what comedic potential was shining through this young man, I decided to hit him up and try to get a project going for him in the studio. My idea was to create a kind of comedy album for him similar to the style Adam Sandler used to do before he started making Blockbuster movies. It never went through quite like I had planned however, because both of us had crazy busy schedules. Nevertheless, I had stressed to him that he should take his love for comedy and hit the stage and do some stand up. Needless to say, that's what he did, Hard.

Tuesday, March 24th 2009 was open mic night at the improv and Jordan's first time ever hitting the stage. Me and A bunch of Jordan's close friends, family & fans came out to support him. Butterfly's in his stomach and first time jitters were hitting him hard as he thought of all the big name comidians like Dane Cook and others who bombed the first time they went on stage. There was alot riding on his performance becuase the funniest new comidian gets a shot at $300 and a chance to open for all the top headlining comedians that come into town to perform at the improv.

Jordan was competeing against 14 other comedians who had plenty more stage experience than he did, and had been doing stand-up Much Much longer. I must say, I was nervous just waiting for him to get on stage because most of the other comedians were pretty damn funny. When Jordan hit the stage though, he had the audience captivated from the moment he set foot on the wooden stage. For a First-timer, he had the audience roaring with laughter as he not only told funny jokes, but he used his youthful energy to deliver a comidec presence like non other that the audience had ever seen before.

At the end of the night, after they tallyed up all the votes, Jordan had won first place, and beat out all the other comedians who had stepped on stage with him. He will now be in the finals on April 21st 2009 to compete for the grand prize I mentioned earlier. His family and fans went balistic and showed him mad love when they heard the great news. here are some pics I took of Jordan tearing up the stage. His teacher was there filmng the whole thing, so if I can get ahold of the tape, I will surely share it with you all.




Ahhh The Glory of hard work and persistence...

{Style Profile} Charis Kirchheimer

Miami never ceases to amaze me with it's amount of talented, creative, and driven individuals that I meet there. Just recently, I wrote an article about Alexis Mincolla and his Infamous "Black Sunday" parties. To Me, Black Sunday is a new kind of party trend that I see eventually see sweeping the nation and being copied by club promoters and party enthusiasts around the nation.
Alexis and his crew are definitely the originators . Check out the article here...A Hurricane of Rad
Unfortunately, when I wrote that article I failed to give proper credit where proper credit is due.

Let me Introduce you to Charis Kirchheimer. Charis is a creative genius & photographer who's work is on it's way to setting trends in style that no ones even dreamed of yet. Her talent knows no bounds, and is pushing the limits of what is even possible with a camera and an idea.
The photo's she takes are really what brings "Black Sunday's" murder video's to life, and without her, they wouldn't have the rad factor that they do today.

Check Out Charis's Blog Here and Become a Follower Kill Yourself, all the cool kids are doing it

Also check out her Flickr. Charis Flickr

Charis' innovativeness, along with the people she works with are setting her apart from most artists out there that I come across. She is already working close with Stian Petter Roening, a Playboy photographer and all around innovator, Dj Tamara Sky, and Danny Daze of Discotech.
I'll Have articles on them in the future so look out for that.

I had the Pleasure of meeting Charis the other night for the first time, and she sent me some interesting pics that she took for a new book she is working on "Dirty Laundry". Here are a few.













































































Her Most Recent Photo shoot is For "The Fontainblu's" Newest Wednesday night party "Dirty Hairy" which is sponsored by Overthrow Miami, and Alexis Mincolla, one of her closest confidants . Here is A preview of the "Cat Fight" photo shoot..... more to come.
