This will be my 4th year covering Chenese Lewis’s annual Hollywood Now – Love Your Body Day. Every year there is a new celebrity host and I’ve been the lucky one to shot those promo photos. Past celebs I’ve shoot for LYBD are Mia Tyler, Kim Coles and Lisa Ann Walter, Excutive Producer and Creater of Dance Your Ass Off.
This year we are all excited to have Wilhelmina model and America’s Next Top Model 08 winner Whitney Thompson. Today the photos from our latest promo shoot were released. Chenese woke me up this morning saying the response from the photos exceeded her expectations and that major news outlets are requesting photos and interviews with both Chenese and Whitney. How exciting!
Here are a few links where the photos have been published.
