I&#8217;ve been dying to share these pictures, &amp; I wanted to make sure that I could tell the story of what unfolded during our session with the kind of cinematic drama &amp; aesthetic beauty that would do this director-designer couple justice.<\/p>\n<p>So our session began as a fun, fashion-y shoot&#8211;as planned by Razzaaq, to take into consideration Mashawnta&#8217;s taste for style &amp; architecture. She is the producer of her own magazine, <a title=\"Mash Magazine\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mashmag.com\" target=\"_blank\">MASH<\/a>. And Razzaaq carefully chose our location, knowing that its urban, industrial feel would be loved by Mash, because of her native Detroit sensibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Scroll on through&#8230;you&#8217;ll
