This all started sometime last year over dinner with Yanni and Grace from Grace Ormonde Wedding Style Magazine.Yanni had called me while he and Grace were on layover flight here in Miami.Lets' have dinner, Yanni said. I said, but of course be honored to. So, I told them I had a beautiful Tuscany, Italy wedding to photograph and it also happen to be Fashion week as well. So we knocked 2 birds with one stone!

(12.18.11 @ 09:38 AM)Taking a little break from "Miami wedding photography" my full time job!
So I had the pleasure and Honor to work on "The" original Carlos Gracie Sr. photo which is in almost every Jiu-Jitsu academy around the World!
The wife of Rilion Gracie, Chris Gracie asked me a while back if I can fix and touch up the original photo of Carlos Gracie Sr. Rilion Gracie's father but yet keep it clean with the original look, I said I would be honored!!
Below is one of many shots I took of Rilion Gracie son of Carlos Gracie Sr. at my studio a couple of weeks ago..Rilion Gracie is known for having one of if not the best "Guard" in the world yet I am learning from the most down to earth person in the world...
Great job, Ray! Carlos Sr. photo is way better now. And Rilion's pic is sick!
(09.29.11 @ 02:56 PM)Natalie from Rilion Gracie Jiu-Jitsu where I also study talked to me about doing a fun easy photo shoot...
So we got together this week at my photography studio for a super fun shoot!!
