Phira Luon

Love photography. Love editorials. Love the art that comes with the business.

Simple bio for a not so simple agent.

Melanie deJesus

Melanie joined the Photogenics family during the summer of 2007 after completing a Fashion degree at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles. She has become an integral part of the agency by way of overseeing the development of New Faces on the Women's Board. Aside from being a staff member at Photogenics, Melanie is also an Art Major at California State University, Los Angeles completing a BA in Arts: Fashion Design.

"To me, fashion is a true reflection of who I am and who I've been throughout the years. It can tell you a lot about people."

Nicci Arone

After graduating from Northeastern University in 2006, Nicci moved from Boston to Los Angeles to study at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM). She began working at photo[genics shortly thereafter in the Women's division. She currently represents both male and female models.

"To me fashion is about blending the elements of style, hair, make-up and photography into an end product of organized chaos. I truly believe that clothing doesn't need to be designer to be high fashion."

Kemi Oyemade

While she never planned on it, Kemi found her way to the fashion industry by way of photo[genics in 2004. As a junior at USC, she began as an intern after working the finance sector at Paramount Pictures. It was a welcome change as she always enjoyed fashion. Much hard work and dedication helped Kemi become one of the hardworking folks responsible for getting the company to where it is today.
