rue du muse…
From left to right: Montana Pritchard, Sandy Maranesi, Courtney Bingham, Choice Gray, Amanda Parisi, and Sloane Sapan
once again the girls from ELITE MIAMI were the stars of the shoot. Choice, with stunning blonde hair and Courtney with the amazing long locks were the perfect pair to showcase an array of amazing lingerie put together by stylist Sloan Sapan. Being the consummate professionals neither girl was thrown off by the television cameras and Holavision hostess wandering around the set during the shoot. keep you eyes out for the special 30 min feature on Montana and the studio coming to Holavision the middle of february.
From Home Depot to Le Boudoir
With the hundreds of photo shoots that Montana has photographed, this was my very first as the new Director of Production. From building the set (much thanks to the help of assistants Angie and Darlene) to forming call sheets and food spreads, there is a lot involved with shooting fashion. We lined up two models, hair stylist Amanda Parisi, and make-up artist Sandy Maranesi to produce the perfect mood that Montana was envisioning. Along with the photo shoot, we were host to the production of the TV show “Dolce Vita (sweet life)” on Hola Vision featuring Montana in a 30-minute segment to air in February. Everything went smoothly and I’m extremely excited to work on future projects in the works. —Lauren McLeod
the fabulous world of montana…oh, and donald trump too
it’s not very often you get to spend your saturday with Donald trump, Jerry Rice, Lawrence Taylor and Miss Brazil that is unless you work with montana at the studio because that’s exactly what happened when we were hired to photograph for the Golf Channel’s upcoming series “Donald J Trump’s Fabulous World of Golf”. we shot at the amazing Trump International Golf Club in west palm beach. the weather was overcast, rainy, sunny and then windy so at the end of the day it looked like we had been shooting for a week! we are sure that with all that celebrity firepower the series will be a huge hit and we are equally sure montana’s favorite part of the day was when he was “forced” to hop in for a photo with , Vivian Noronha, former miss brazil and the holder of multiple beauty queen titles. keep your eyes peeled for the episode coming in april 2010.
Greetings Friends!
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Leslie Corredeira & I am Montanas’ Managing Director. I’ve lived in West Palm Beach the majority of my life and worked catering to the “Rich & Famous” in Palm Beach prior to landing this amazing opportunity!!! So, after 3 whirlwind months, I would like to share some of my highlights.
So after getting word that I was Montanas’ new Assistant, I packed my bags, grabbed my passport and headed to Bermuda…..not bad for my first day! I loved this beautiful island & learned all about the basics….you know, “dark & stormys” & “rum swizzles”.
"I have arrived"
Mashed Potato Martini: Quite possibly the best thing I ever ate! I hope to see you very soon my dear friend!
A new fan of the sport of Golf
Here we have Montana and I after our very comical dinner at the Historic "Dooky Chase's Restaurant". New Orleans was such a fun trip and that city will forever hold a special place in my heart. The food, the culture, the people; definitely want to go back very soon!
Lastly, one of our last assignments of 2009 was to shoot for Donald Trumps’ upcoming show on the Golf Channel called “Donald J. Trump’s Fabulous World of Golf”. Debuting April 26, 2010 . It was very exciting to see up close “The Donald” along with Jerry Rice and Lawrence Taylor.
Here I am with Sandy Maranesi (Contributing Artist Makeup artist) steering clear of "The Donald". My golf cart driving skills have grown exponentially since working at MPP!
I look forward to keeping all of you up to date on many more adventures we here at the Studio get to go on! Happy 2010 Everyone! -Leslie =)

the exposure of virtue…the show
what is virtue? who is virtuous?
who decides?
YOU do, I do, we all do,
everyday people judge based on what they see,
what they imagine to be the truth. right or wrong,
they decide.i believe that the beauty of these images lies in the fact that the model allows me to place them in my studio and become a part of the process. my muse is their smile, their hair, their voice their beauty…my muse is the women just being themselves, that is beauty to me. my desire is to bring time to a halt and force the viewer to face the very essence of all that remains on display in its honesty and truth. this representation of the moment is in fact a self portrait of us all…

the exposure of virtue…behind the scenes
in a collaboration with angeline myers as the art direction and kristin brown as the fantabulous hair and makeup artist we began shooting for an upcoming exhibition titled “the exposure of virtue”. here are a few behind the scene images to tide you over until the exhibition hits the wall
talent and beauty
one of the greatest parts of being a photographer is all of the talented artists i get to work with on jobs. (still hard to believe i get paid for doing what i love!) This job was no exception… hair and make-up was provide by Mish poletti of CA Palm Beach and the fabulous wardrobe styling was by HOT PINK based in Delray Beach, florida
faceless but fabulous hair
mannequins and fantastic hair were just the ticket for the upcoming international ad campaign for Enzo Milano a maker of killer hair styling products used by everyone from the girl next door to the Pussy Cat Dolls. we cant show you any more then this sneak peek but keep an eye out for the new imagery its going to blow you away!!
i smell a turkey
Although its october, the studio suddenly smelled of thanksgiving. Chef Jeremy Hanlon of My One Chef walked into the studio with a full on thanksgiving feast! We were shooting images to go along with his favorite turkey day creations for the Sun Sentinel News in Fort Lauderdale. Keeping in the tradition of not doctoring any of the food we shoot for Jeremy we had to work fast! In less then an hour we shot all of the images needed and then as is always required we began the tasting. All i can say is GET THOSE RECIPES!!!!
