Welcome to CopaWear International a Brazilian Fashion Lifestyle company that features swimwear, activewear, and lingerie from some of the hottest local designers in Brazil. All of our bikini's and activewear are made of high quality Lycra and designed by many of the hottest new brazilian designers.
Been working this whole season showing a White Porsche Twin Turbo around the country and working with some great people and film crews. The car was the Best Exotic Automobile in the US. I want to thank Cindy and Alex from HIN City TV. Terrence and Graham from Octane TV have been filming my shoots lately and we've been having a BLAST working with Val C (MUA) and some incredible models. Just got to photograph the Makes & Models TV Show at Stuttgart Performance with Elizabeth Ashley. The shoot was awesome and the car we used was amazing. Stay tuned for my next show in the next couple weeks. I'm always looking for the next HOT model so please drop me an email and schedule a test shoot .
Check out my work at www.onemodelplace.com member 171166. Almost finished with my custom Aprilia Mille. I'm rebuilding/recoating/repainting the thing so it'll be 1 of a kind and sick as HELL. Unfortunately my neighbors will have to suffer because the custom exhaust is as loud as a MotoGP bike(it's very loud) Got some amazing photos at AMA California Speedway of the riders and Umbrella Girls so I created a streaming show of some of the shots. I'll be in Atlantic City NJ to show the Porsche and I'm pretty confident it is now the best exotic car in the WORLD. We have done some one of a kind things to this car that nobody else has done. The unveiling will be at the show on the East Coast report to follow. HIN San Jose left us with 3 1st & a 2nd place trophy not too shabby. I added 2 studio strobes to our show booth, these lights make shooting models much easier in the dark conditions. If I got photos of you please send me your email address and I'll be happy to get them back to you. Now a little about me.
I grew up in Northern California in beautiful Marin County, on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. I became a broker working starting out at an Investment Bank that brought companies public, worked there for 4 years then went on to working with a brokerage that specialized in options. I worked there for 5 years 1 floor above the Stock Exchange working with a lot of Market Makers. Yes, it was crazy and exciting!I've dated models my whole life...and dancers I guess and sometimes its hard to deal with. there are a lot of positives and negatives. I have been down in the O.C. working as a Sales & Marketing Manager for a few years. I love the weather and people but still miss NorCal. My hobby is basically a second job. I show cars and motorcycles all around the country. I'm frequently competing in EAF (Extreme AutoFest) or HIN (Hot Import Night) events. I've always been fortunate enough to have INSANE cars to show. Currently we're showing an INSANE Porsche 993TT with 600HP. The other car is just a Mazda Protege wagon...with 40 yards of suede in the interior, a gold turbo'd engine and painted to look like a gold nugget. Basically we take a car and push it to the Extreme. At the shows I'm supposed to shoot photos of the cars but as you can see by my friends I'm easily sidetracked. I do shoot photos of some cars...if there is a model standing in front.
