DJ Icon Press Shots

Jeff Steinmetz — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 05:54:40 +0000

Jeff Steinmetz and the rSs team captured press shots for DJ Icon. At the age of 16, ICON diligently rose through the ranks of the San Francisco underground at a time when female DJs and promoters were few. She is ranked in Shejay’s “Top 100 Female DJs” and was recently voted as one of San Francisco’s top ten DJs in the Nitevibe “Top 10 DJ Dreamteam” Poll. You may have also caught one of her XM radio shows on Thump Funk, or remember her being cast as the DJ on the internationally syndicated MTV™ series “The Wade Robson Project”.

Featured in 944 Magazine

Makeup by Kat

I’m excited about the shoot I did with LEC Photography featured in the September issue of 944 Magazine. The article was about a featured designer Christopher Collins and they wanted a fall-type look using his clothes. My hairstyling partner in crime was the amazing Lorenzo and we went with a sophisticated feminine look for hair and makeup on model Jessiqa Pace. Loren, the photographer, decided on leaves as a prop, and the studio had an elevated catwalk so I hiked it up the latter and threw leaves down while Loren took the shot; Lorenzo threw leaves from the side. As with all shoots, its always a team effort…whatever it takes to get the shot! ~Kat.
