Omahyra Mota : Behind The Scenes and Sneak Peek

Last week I shot Omahyra Mota for 2 days and it was filmed by RTL German Television for a segment on one of their most viewed prime time shows "Explosiv Weekend", to be aired within the next few weeks.

Besides all the publicity involved with this, I was mostly stoked about photographing Omahyra, who to me is one of the most amazing models right now and her unique androgynous look has also fascinated Helmut Newton, Ellen Von Unwerth, Bruce Weber, Terry Richardson just to name a few.

But what I loved about her most is the fact that she didn't complain for a second, even though the first day was especially rough, with a 4am call time, hours of driving and hours of sitting and standing in the desert heat with almost no shade , and even managed to entertain my entire crew with silly jokes and stories.

Below a few behind the scenes photos with a B/W sample of our shoot.
