Here’s another round of photographer Derek Blanks’ Alter Ego pics featuring David Banner, Tisha Campbell, Mashonda, Chrisette Michelle & Danyale. We know it’s a trade secret, but we must ask, how does he do it??

I love Chrisette’s pics. WOW!!! Love it. I like Tisha’s too for the most part but dang she really does have a big forehead.
Mashonda’s pic is very um…interesting.
Not feeling David Banner’s shirtless pic but I like the white suited one.
Love Danyale’s pics too!!
I like the pics. But Mashonda’s…I may need her or David Blank’s to explain that one…I won’t comment on that yet.
I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GREAT CONCEPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m really digging ALL of these! Wow!
These look great!

very nice but….
Who the hell is Danyale?
I love all these pics-Great job!

That’s DEREK Blanks, not David. Excellent celebrity photographer out of the ATL.
I’m just me, Smokey…Morning Ladies!!
I love these pics…I wanna do a photo shoot!
Tisha’s pics were off the chain…Got to give it to the editors and photographers…great job!
Danyale is a dancer. You can check her out in some of Beyonces videos (Get Me Bodied, Freak Em Dress). She is also a member of the House of Ninja and competes in the Ballroom scene.
Very very nice. All those are top notch. Someone is going to have to enlighten me though. Who is Danyale? I’m utterly intrigued.
Definitely feeling Mashonda’s. That’s hottness.
im feelin tisha’s an danyale’s better but damn ow does danyale do that leg thing?????damn!!!..thats a good photograper too i must say
Morning Lauren!
is mashonda alter ego gay? DUMB QUESTION!
and mashonda’s
lol @ covergurl
Danyale was also the main girl in Omarion’s “Touch” video
That is the best Christette Michelle girl ever looked. That is the first time that she doesnt look like a RABBIT with bulging eyes.
I’ve seen this done in person… a photographer in houston does work of this sort.. Its really easy the line of symmetry must be perfect though./. This guys work is really good
Danyale Polanco is a well known dancer, she was in omarion’s video touch, she was in get me bodied and freakum dress as well. She got a mean walk and she can dance with the best of em
these pic r off the chain
got dayum these are some HOT ASS PICS…sheesh…i want one…
he prolly got adobe photoshop…
love the pics they are hot….Danyale’s pic is awsome and Chrisette Michelle’s is just beautiful
HAWT!
HER NAME IS DANIELLE POLANCO.. CAN SOMEONE FIX THE SPELLING SMH
His name is Derek Blanks
i love chrisette’s pic, mashonda is well about to F**k herself, Tisha, hers are alright, and david banner’s pic is nice also
yES cASH S
DANIELLE POLANCO..works the Ballroom House of Ninja’s…
DANIELLE NINJA she is sick with it.
All of these pics are great. The photographer has mad skills!
I don’t know who Danyale is, but her pic is hotttt. Tisha’s might be the best I’ve seen from the book. I want him to take my pic man.
I like all the pics especially, Danyale’s. Pure hotness…
I love them all! I’ve seen his work b4 and if he can make KHIA look decent in a pictorial he truly is a gifted photographer
David LaChappelle is one of my fav photogs, but Blanks is giving him some real competition!!! Love it!
Wondering if there is a “message” behind that Mashonda picture – is she “coming out” per se? I know I read somewhere recently that she and Swizz Beats are divorcing…that picture definitely makes one go hmmm…
Love the picture Tisha, but the concept behind all of the photos are dope! He’s good.
Danielle is really doing her thing!! Gotta give mad props to her for that.
Sincerely,
Ballroom Legend
Eh. I did this stuff years ago. It’s a great concept but it can get old quick.
This pics are hot!!!
Nice Pics… Some suggested Future Pictorials
R Kelly pissing on himself – Good-til-the-last-Drop
Diddy sucking his own Cock – Take That, Take That
Queen Latifah eating out herself – Needs more salt
Tameka choking herself – Kill Yourself Bitch
Just a few suggestions
Mashonda’s pic is supposed to portray ” her doing her” and Danyale ia a choreographer. I like them all!
ms tisha gettn that weight off okay. one who should of been in the coming sex in the city film this lady has that staying power, she was the business in house party. lol
Nice work this is true art! But who the hell is Marshonda??? Danyale, ok know her from Omarion’s video and that is an exquisite pic of her and Chrissette Michelle looks very beautiful in her photos. Does this person have like a book out or something?
Hello all
>> Yeah Danyale is that one dancer that breaks it DOWN… These are really nice pictures.. really nice… Look at tisha Campbell in that Ghetto One piece and Pony tail.. I’m like WHAT… really nice though!
Why does this DANIELLE POLANCO chick warrant having pics taken like this? She’s just lowly backup dancer – why waste time & money on that?
I see Tisha still got no hips & that big ole Johnny Appleseed head
Mashonda looks hot!
Chrissette Michelle- I like her
Funny as Hell ELOVE!!!!
Why is everyone giving props to this Danyelle chica?
If you were a pro dancer & spent all your time perfecting your craft you’d be able to kick your leg back like that too! Lord, some of yall need to stop acting like field hands & get a grip! She aint all that
Chrisette looks beautiful!! The dancer’s pic is cool tho, whether shes famous or not..
the photog is NO JOKE!!! thats talent…way more then these click and drag photoshoppers with digital cameras. and is that the same chick that rocked beyonces videos. she’s bad. her photo was the best, its crazy how they are interlinked. i dont care for mashondas pick..the butch on lipstick lez think is creepy..sorry. maybe if it was just herself on herself it wouldve worked. i would take a pic like that and hang it over my bed. but not with me looking like i was being raped by a prison version of myself. yuuukers!!
to ans the question: Why does this DANIELLE POLANCO chick warrant having pics taken like this?
she may not be a household name right now…but she is one of the top choreographers in the biz and growing. she is not just a dancer, half the videos u see her in she actually choreographed. damn i cant spell
Something different for a change.
i like these pics…the dave banner one isn’t up tho, don’t know if they took it down or what. anyway, c.m. actually looks pretty in her pic. lovin her hair. the danyale dancer chick’s pic is really cool. i know that she’s been in vids (last one was love in this club)and i’ve always thought her dancin was bad as hell. however, i didn’t know until reading some of the comments that she’s a part of house of ninja. that explains some of the stuff she did in the get me bodied vid. she did the walk and the snap for the kids breakdown. i need to find this guys official site or somethin.
I like the Mashonda one because it’s riskaaaaaay!
These pics are off the hook! I love them all. Mashonda’s is hot,,,,her and ol boy getting a divorce so maybe this is how she feels! Great photography!
What are the alter egos that is being shown in the tisha campbell pic?
Mashonda?? She is getting a divorce so is she saying in that pic that she is a lesbian?
Chrisette is talented vocally but she needs new promo. That damn song “if i had my way” makes me hate her voice & bc of it being overpayed I didnt buy her cd or go 2 her concert. RELEASE MORE SONGS DAMNIT!
Danielle Polanco is her name. She is very talented.
Where do I sign up?? Im dying to have one of these
A funny pic wud be a celeb couple happy @ da marriage and then pissed @ da divorce…LOL jus imagine da graphics
What’s a house of ninja????
SOMEONE HELP ME UNDERSTAND!!!
I YouTubed Danielle + House of Ninja to get a better understanding of what Ms. Danielle P does…well, (and I’m not trying to be a smarta$$) it looked like a whole bunch of unorganized jumping and twisting.
Is that what the House of Ninja is known for?
Now, I’ve seen her do more conventional moves (Omarion’s – Touch) but all that other stuff…well, I’m just trying to understand it.
Yall problem is that you let a broad with a little bit of color come on the scene & forget all about the sistas that paved the way before her.
What happened to Big Lez or the girl who choreographed Alia’s & Michael Jackson’s videos??
And what the eff is a house of Ninja? Do they get together once a week wearing black outfits & do stunts?
What is the House of Ninja?
It’s an Under Ground Dance Group from New York where Voguing really began.
Usually dancers and or choreographers who are gay friendly attend & perform to get and show different moves.
She’s big there as a woman. She’s kind of a fresh idea.
This particuliar House was started by Willie Ninja whao passed away recently.
The best known houses are New York City groups, especially those such as the House of Corey, the House of LaBeija, the House of Ninja, the House of Pendavis the House of Garavani and House of Xtravaganza that were shown in the 1990 documentary film Paris Is Burning. Other houses function similarly in many United States but mainly focused in major cities on the East Coast, in the Midwest and South (i.e. House Of Infiniti , House of Mizrahi, House of Aviance, etc.)[2][5][6][7]
According to the Village Voice:
What happened to Big Lez or the girl who choreographed Alia’s & Michael Jackson’s videos?

I think she’s being spoke of now because of her Alter Ego Photos.
see above.
she meaning DANIELLE POLANCO
THANK YOU LADY ELLE!!!!!!
That definitely put things together for me!!
Why does this DANIELLE POLANCO chick warrant having pics taken like this?
———————————————–
Because she is well known in the industry for her work as a dancer. As you can see from this post, her face is also recognized by many that view videos for her dancing ability. Just because she isn’t a singer or rapper or actress doesn’t mean she isn’t making her mark in the industry. At least she is getting props for having skills in something other than taking off her clothes, and being a rump shaker.
Big Lez, Fatima and the other choregraphers are not being talked about because this topic is not about them. I don’t know why some people have to make things more than what they are. It’s not that deep.
I hate when people say if you did this___or this___you could do the same. Hello, that’s the point. Not everybody can do what the next person do.
You are more than welcomed african_4_eva
I like David Banner’s and Tisha Campbells because their pics are controversial about society. I like Chrisette’s because she looks beautiful. Danielle’s pic looks very artistic because of her stance. I’m not really getting the alter ego in hers. Maybe he could’ve put her in a ballroom gown holding a stance and then have her street look. Mashonda’s I’m not really feeling and it’s creepy.
>>>>> danyale.. Snaps for the Kids.. YOU FUCKING HATERS.. wowo what a bunch of HATERS… the little chick is raw..
TISHA’S LOOKS REALLY GOOD..I LIKE THAT ONE THE BEST… BUT THE REST ARE OKAY
Love them all, he’s very talented!
@lady architect 20May 2:21pm
how are david banner & tish campbell pics about society and controversial?
Im still tryna fiure out what ego the pics r showing! I know David Banner was vocal in motuh & money in help the gulf coast deal with Katrina hurricane. What has/does Tisha do that is for society’s improvement? I can only think of her in School Daze “good & bad hair” scene.
_
WAIT A MINUTE!
No Tisha aint wearing dereon ( the purple outfit)…wtf? Dereon.house of dereon/ms tina are all some TRASH clothes! Overpriced crap clothes!
REALLY COOL PiCS. i WONDER HOW SHE DOES iT ?
Love the pictures!!!
the mashonda and tisha campbell pics are ill..
The Mashonda pic had me doing a double take, but overall, these are some beautiful pics!
I remember seeing the same technique on “America’s Next Top Model” during the season when Tocara was on. I’ve also seen it done by high school digital photography students…one of the best ones showed a sequence of a cartwheel from beginning to end. I’m not diminishing the artist’s craft…it’s still great.
mashonda pic is soooo sexy and risky, love her for that. other chics would be scared to do it dblanks is a great photographer
DAVID BANNER NEEDS SOME NIPPLE RINGS ON THEM TITS.

The editing is done in photoshop with layers. I’m also a photographer and have done a couple shots just like these.
