Classic8 Designs

 Hi My name is Me'Shelle aka "Classic8".  I do a lot, so to start with I run and own Classic8 Designs as my photography media company.  I started photography March 2007 after modeling for a year.  I occasionally still model as a plus fashion model but photography speaks to me as a form of expressing myself in art the most.

I also manage models, a sort of agency you can say.  I've been working with certain models for years to just recently and each model I spend time with helping them with their path in modeling, acting and entertainment industry.  We go by www.figure8models.com.

I also edit and co-run Based Magazine which is a urban underground culture magazine.   If you have any inquiries for the magazine you can email me at classic8designs@yahoo.com (PLEASE NO SPAM!!!)

Also I network with Karma Musiq Group and we will soon have our web site for Karma Classic Talent put together.  We are putting the models and music together for the Bay area and beyond.

So please stay tuned I assure you the list goes on and I stay busy and updating, much love to you all! ~ Me'Shelle

ALL PHOTO SHOOTS REQUIRE A $50 DEPOSIT AND START AT $150 EACH.  I'M OFTEN ASKED WHY IT IS "SO EXPENSIVE" TO SHOOT BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY A VERY COMPETITIVE RATE COMPARED TO OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS FOR HIGH QUALITY PICTURES.  NOW IF YOU WANT TO INVEST $2,000 A YEAR IN CAMERA EQUIPMENT AND DO IT YOURSELF THEN BY ALL MEANS HAVE FUN.  NOT TO MENTION NEEDING TALENT, YEARS OF STUDYING PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART AS WELL AS YEARS OF LEARNING PHOTO SHOP, THIS IS WHY IT COSTS MONEY It TAKES A LOT OF MY TIME AND INVESTMENT.  I LOVE DOING IT AND WON'T STOP BUT NEED HELP THIS HABIT AND GREATLY APPRECIATE ALL WHO SHOW SUPPORT.  THANK YOU!!!
