Last week, Melanie Iglesias dropped by SlickforceStudio to sign her new Ice Cream Disaster posters for the Melanie Iglesias Store. With the recent launch of her new MTV2 shows Guy Court and Girl Code, Mel’s star has been rising faster than ever. She was stunned at the number of posters waiting for her autograph.

Since I first met Melanie at our WMB 3D: World’s Most Beautiful shoot in 2011, she has always looked for ways to give back. Never one to miss an opportunity, Mel announced to her fans that anyone ordering Ice Cream posters in the next 24 hours would not only get them signed but also personalized. Even better, a portion of sales would be donated to Autism Speaks—a charity close to her heart.

What soon followed was the highest traffic day in the history of the Melanie Iglesias Store. Hundreds of orders poured in in a matter of hours, and Mel extended her signing visit an extra day to accommodate all the orders. After signing the last poster, Mel and the team made a sizable donation to Autism Speaks. We are proud to have partnered with such a stellar woman, and are grateful to all the fans who supported our signing promotion.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes video detailing the impressive weekend. Enjoy!

After weeks of anticipation and a record number of pre-orders, Melanie Iglesias’ Ice Cream Disaster 24″x36″ Collector’s Wall Posters have finally started shipping. Order yours now at the Melanie Iglesias Store or right here at the Saglimbeni Store.

For those who want a closer look (and really who doesn’t), here is a behind-the-scenes gallery and a video from Melanie’s shoot at SlickforceStudio.

Our good friend Melanie Iglesias visits Los Angeles hotspots to give new viewers a first-hand look at WMB 3D: World’s Most Beautiful. Audience reactions never disappoint, ranging from shock and awe to downright hilarious. See what real viewers had to say in the video above.

WMB 3D is available on iPad, iPhone and on Google Play. There are also a limited number of Collector’s Print Editions available in the Slickforce Store here.

This was my first shoot with Melanie Iglesias, for the premiere issue of WMB 3D: World’s Most Beautiful. Glamour is a tricky business, because it’s very easy to fall into the “men’s mag” category. I wanted the glamour in WMB to be as classy as it was sexy.

We found this beautiful mansion in Pasadena; they had all this really great furniture and huge windows. I like to shoot at very slow ISOs, so we augmented all of the natural light with umbrellas and diffusers. For this particular setup, where Melanie is in the chair, I had one diffused umbrella on a 2400w/s pack keying her, and an Octabank outside the window boosting the ambient sun. I was using a lot of fan on this shoot, so I wanted a really fast shutter, but I opted to keep it at 1/125 so we didn’t lose the natural light exposure. Enough of the hair exposure came from the strobes so we didn’t have too much motion blur.

Mel and the whole team did a great job on this shoot, and to this day it’s still our most downloaded gallery on WMB 3D. Enjoy the behind-the-scenes video…we left the original production audio track in for a more authentic shoot experience. Download the FREE WMB 3D here for iPad, iPhone and Android.

Melanie Iglesias’ star has certainly been rising this year. Since we first met her at our WMB 3D: World’s Most Beautiful shoot in 2011, Melanie has become an internet phenomenon, sporting hundreds of thousands of fans around the globe. She also currently leads the cast of MTV’s Guy Code, and has recently starred in projects for Tiesto, Adidas, Samsung, and more.

This summer, I photographed Melanie in Malibu, California for a swimsuit project amidst crashing surf, hollowed sea caves, and Pacific Ocean sunsets. Here’s a behind-the-scenes video from our beautiful and incredibly fun shoot. Limited Edition Posters from the shoot are available at MelanieIglesiasStore.com.

And if you want to see Melanie on the day we met, watch her WMB video here. My thanks to all who helped out. Enjoy!

Hey guys, here is the first SlickforceGirl-related image I’m releasing. I’ll leave a bit to the imagination, but suffice it to say I’m extremely proud to be part of a project which fights for good and recognizes the heroism of those who put others before themselves. I know our models feel the same way, as they dove headfirst into their characters and helped to create amazing images.

Since it’s model Melanie Iglesias’ birthday today, I felt it appropriate to lead off with her U.S. Marine shoot. I’m certain our men in service will appreciate the way she pays respect. More to come…!
