Today this Blondesheep would like to give a shout out to a photographer who has inspired me and many others in the industry. In 2008 when I started booking gallery exhibits at my favorite Hollywood venue Boulevard3, I went on a search for up and coming photographers and artists who would be interested in showcasing their work at the venue on a Friday night. Low and behold I came across the work of Jenn Hoffman. I was struck by her concept, technique and flare. I contacted Jenn and brought her into the venue to explain our event idea. From my first impression of Jenn, she was extremely humble for the amount of talent she possessed. I gave her a tour of the venue and we decided on a date which happened to coincide with my birthday that year so we would have hopefully double the amount of exposure! Jenn spent solid months to coordinate and promote her show. The turnout was by far the biggest we have ever seen in the history of exhibiting. Her following brought in over 350 guests including the first super model Janice Dickinson who she had shot previously.
Following the exhibit, Jenn was more than grateful. I can honestly say that Jenn is the sweetest, most beautiful person that I have ever had a chance in my travels to meet. I had the honor to shoot with Jenn twice while in LA and having been on the other side of the camera, she has a knack of making you feel comfortable and beautiful... even on your worst day! We had another successful exhibit years later before she moved to Iowa to start her family. Jenn continues to amaze me with her work as I follow her through Facebook.
So Jenn, if you read this, continue being you and keep creating! You provide the world with images that will last the ages and everyone who meets you is being provided such a gift. And keep modeling girl, you are truly spectacular on the inside and out!

Here are a few photos from that night and from her gallery of fashion photography:
