I met Racquel at the HMV music store one day on 86th street while looking for cd's, and asked her if she'd modeled. She said no. I couldn't believe this beautiful girl who it turned out, lived on the east side of Manhattan, had not already been scouted by anyone. So I did. I introduced her to and placed her with Elite Model Management where she began her modeling career. Racquel was always a wonderful subject and naturally photogenic. These were some early photos we did together. Make-up by the amazingly talented Susan Giordano.
