“Dutchess & Melody”
featuring tattoo artists Dutchess Lattimore & Melody Mitchell of VH1’s Black Ink Crew
Cover story [unpublished] - Vibe Vixen, May 2016
Co-stars of VH1's "Black Ink Crew", Dutchess & Melody
Originally shot as a cover story for Vibe Vixen, this was my first time shooting while being filmed for television. If you know me personally, you know that I'm very shy in front of the camera, so it was certainly a challenge! I had to wear a lav mic while shooting & even had a quick cameo introducing myself to the girls on the show that aired in May 2016 (season 4, episode 6)
Even though the Vibe story never made it to print, we had a cover mockup, feature photos & BTS video all ready to go.
Photographed at Go Studios in New York City for VH1 + Vibe Vixen.
