The minute the boy turned 16 years old, she took him to an agency near their small home town, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, for a test shoot. From that first shoot on, Fabio has accumulated trips around the world,...

Through the glass doors of an commercial building in Downtown L.A. sits a doorman in the back for a floor level tractor-trailer sawed in half; his desk is a functioning art installation. This street is an oasis in industrial land; a tucked away café winds down cobblestone directly across the street, and young artist types with their dogs line the street late afternoon. I climb the stairs (elevator under construction) and march the concrete hallway to the

Make-up artistry is an art that requires more than the ability to apply blush and shadows. The real beauty of the craft lies within the transformation process.
