BELLEN BRAND Clothing Line

Whether it is a dark wood podium or a perfectly photogenic lounge chair or a hand made wooden ladder the allures so many production sessions who aim for sensual and sexual appeal, the stage ART 2 is a trump among the stages and a perfect playground for seductive flare. The clothing brand “Bellen Brand” visited the stage for a new line from their collection. A few words about the Bellen Brand and its founder, Alexandria Norman.

“Who is a Bellen Bae? She is confident, but humble. Her beauty is effortless. Her natural sensuality cannot be ignored. She leads by example and her fierce drive and determination inspires others. Her aspirations are endless and she will not be denied. You will always notice a Bellen Bae in the crowd, she stands out with her quiet power and unforgettable presence. Her style reflects all that makes her a Bellen Bae. BellenBrand’s namesake and founder, Alexandria “Belle” Norman, represents a generation of emerging design talent that has freed itself from tradition and fully embraced the entrepreneurial street style of fashion. This fiercely independent spirit launched BellenBrand at the age of 18. Known as an “old soul” it was no surprise that her passion and aesthetic vision were already well developed. She blended her retail, wholesale and FIDM experiences to conceive of the brand, executing her vision alongside some of L.A.’s most successful creative and business talent. Norman’s designs are informed by her multicultural background and ethnically ambiguous experience. Her designs are unbridled, yet inclusive and wearable. Norman embodies the new breed of LA influencers making their national and international mark. DAG Magazine acknowledged her achievements by predicting that she will have “a beautiful career in the world of fashion.” Norman resides in South Central, Los Angeles. She is endlessly inspired by her son, Chase. “

We understand that every woman is individualistic in her tastes and style. At the very core of her wardrobe are pieces that express her mood, confidence, elegance, boldness, and edginess. That’s why we work nonstop every day to source and select only the best quality pieces in our Grayscale Collection.

Orange County/ Los Angeles based drummer Jamie Scoles has visited our stage A to shoot a music video for the song called “Real (ft. Centanela)”, which is a first single off her solo album “Echosohere”.

What is “Real” about?

“The ‘Real’ music video pushes the needle towards LGBT visibility with a very contemporary and artistic approach. My project is defined as pop music, electronic music and drums fused together, creating a new and different definition of performance and sound. In this project, the drummer is set as the spotlight and the singer is featured on the track.”

I toured with Nylon Pink across the world and shared the stage with some artists that activated my own playing. I was also honored and placed in the Hard Rock Hall of Fame in Macau and Malaysia. In 2015, I spent writing and creating Echosphere, my first and most anticipated album in my solo career.”

Daveed Benito, The Art Photographer

Beauty sells, Seduction sells, Sex sells. It is a common knowledge that the more erotically provocative the photo or video is the more eyes it allures. In a contemporary world flooded with aftermath of sexual revolution and carnal media, there are only a few Photo Artists that approach this genre with a haute touch. David Benito, bringing both creativity and erotic goading into picture is a fine example of such nude photo vanguard.

Here are a few words about Deveed’s professional philosophy:

“For Daveed Benito, it’s about capturing, but more importantly creating these moments in time with a vibrant display of color, inspiration of art, and a hint of imagination.

Born in Santa Fe, raised in Albuquerque New Mexico – Daveed is someone who you wouldn’t have been able to tell is a photographer upon first meeting, but as you begin to talk with him you realize that you are speaking to an artist of a special expertise.”

Connect with the PHOTOGRAPHER, Deveed Benito via his WEBSITE and INSTAGRAM pages.

Daveed used two stages for his session, ART 2 and PRO I. Each space provides a unique look adorned with various props and installations. Yet both of the stages are unified by the motto of FD PhotoStudio – making the experience as convenient as possible. There are 3 strobe lights, 3 seamless backdrop papers available in each studio. Every space has an independent calendar with up-to-date availability, as well as rates listed for each. Visit our website to browse our options!
