About Me

The Lovely Brenda
is a New York City based photographer and photo editor. Her work is acclaimed for beautifying the raw, brutal and authentic aspects of her subjects. Brenda's photography mirrors her vibrant and unique personality, shying away from white backdrops and highly stylized studio shoots. From nude, tattooed rock chicks against graffiti, to a tampon string peeking out from under a mini-skirt in one of New York City's upscale venues, Brenda's work is fearless.

Brenda is currently the staff photographer for the alternative erotic website, BURNINGANGEL.COM and the house photographer for all CROBAR and Pink Elephant events in NYC, where she captures the scandalous nightlife of the city that never sleeps. If that weren't enough, Brenda is also responsible for shooting VICE MAGAZINEâ€™S infamous fashion " DOâ€™S AND DONâ€™TS ."
Brenda's work has appeared in such magazines as The Village Voice, Hustler, Adult Video News, Tabu Tattoo, Penthouse, High Times, Bizarre, and Screw Magazine. She has been featured on Fleshbot, in the pages of Time Out New York, and The Village Voice. And Brenda has appeared on Playboy's Sexcetera. Brenda is 24 hour-a-day photographer, passionate about her work. Get your own slideshow on RingoRingo - Photo Sharing Made Easy

My Interests

when i'm not shooting porn or people partying i enjoy doing volunteer work, gardening, and taking video of hayden and friends.

I'd like to meet:

whoever like's the photos i shoot... ..

Music:

because of work i'm stuck listening to da shop boyz and all that cheezy club shit. my husband is in suaka so i get stuck listening to them a lot. and everyone else i hang out with is always listing to like tv on the radio and shit but i think they are kinna annoying after awhile.

Movies:

my neighbor is really into movies and netflix and get's me movie's all the time. some of my favorites are Valley Girl and Twin Peaks. hayden get's me into the old teenage mutant ninja turtles, gremlins, star wars, marry poppins and stuff. i'm trying to make him realize other shit exists besides spiderman.

Television:

i started to watch weeds and californiation but then my showtime quit working on my blackbox. :(sometimes i catch myself watching telia tequila's reality tv show.my attention span is horrible for tv and movies. i don't like to do anything that's not going to make me money, better the world, or make me cum!

Books:

i'm reading lot's of children's books these days. my father's dragon, clifford, sponge bob, dora. i just wrote a children's book and need it illustrated. it's about death. hayden always asks me "mommy what happens when we die?" we live next door to a funeral home. we eat dinner everynight to anything from sobbing, screaming women, men, mother's, daughters, brothers... to puff daddy's "i'll be missing you". to paperbagging 40's, smoking weed, and reaving bikes.

Heroes:

everyone around me. all my friends are so amazing i try to use them as role models. especially all those who have helped me with hayden thru the years. Emily Rawlings! QQ!
