Series about life, finding balance & evolving into greatness.

This series is inspired by my collaboration with MeLo-X. All juxtapositions are created from scenes of the music video I directed in March 2011, called "Mirrors on My Mind". Behind The Scenes Of MeLo-X's "Mirrors In My Mind" video by Alexis Noelle: www.vimeo.com/20779508

After months of preparation and a successful art exhibition / video debut in Brooklyn, MeLo-X brings you his latest visual masterpiece "Mirrors In My Mind". This is a collaboration project between MeLo-X and collage artist GiGi Bio. This latest piece of work features MeLo and actress Shawntia Homenuk playing a homeless couple who survive the gritty New York streets only to become their alternate mirrored self, which is a couple filled with Royal Elegance and Style. The video also features styling by Soull & Dynasty of BRZE and additional graphic and film editing by Alexis Casson.

For the past three years, I've been capturing Chinatown during the annual Chinese New Year Parade. Each piece is named after the chinese animal sign & symbolic for each new year. To each new year comes a new beginning, a new life.
