Sunrise at Haulover Beach; 2006 - Photography by Cassone

When I first moved down to Florida from Detroit back in 2006, Diva Kingsley and I went to Haulover Beach to do an early morning photo shoot. It served beneficial as we caught the awesome sunrise and I not only got some snaps of her, but of it as well. It was my very first 'nature' shots. Great time with a wonderful and talented friend, with the amazing beauty of nature as the backdrop - it just doesn't get any better than that. My inner artistic cat was pur-r-ring LOUDLY! LOL. Enjoy & Thanks!

D.R.A.G.: Divas Really Are Grand (Archives - Photography by Cassone)

Over the years as an entertainer, I have had the distinct privilege to work with some amazing entertainers on the female impersonation circuit. These cabaret performers and illusionist transform themselves from male to some of the most beautiful females for the sake of performance art and creativity with the use of makeup, wigs, poise, gait and costume to create their character's personas. It truly is an art form, and the more I got in to photography, my co-stars in show have becomes some of my favorite muses. In fact, on my YouTube channel some of their videos are some of the channel's most popular, which I hope will delight my subscribers for years to come.
