When Daniella Midenge photographed Jennifer Lopez for Allure Magazine’s 30th Anniversary cover story, it was clear that they shared some kind of cosmic energy. J. Lo had a daring pixie cut to celebrate her 52 birthday, and the two femmes delivered a supercharged, sexy and sensual photoshoot.

Daniella excels at putting her foot on the pedal when photographing women. She renders them as 10-alarm fires who even Pope Francis would invite to dinner. Midenge makes ‘sexy’ very respectable — and that is a precious gift to the women she photographs. Here’s more than a few examples on Daniella’s website.

I had already seen J Lo’s new images celebrating her 53 birthday launch of JLoBody FIRM + FLAUNT™ Targeted Booty Balm. But I didn’t know that Daniella was behind the lens.

Silly me. When I wrote about the Allure 30th Anniversary shoot:

“I’m not impartial about the photoshoot, because I know photographer Daniella Midenge and — trust me — these spectacular images are the result of Daniella ‘understanding’ Lopez. There’s some serious cosmic energy exchange going on between the two women, and the result is an Allure Jennifer Lopez beauty bonanza.”

. . . clearly Jennifer Lopez Affleck agrees with me, which is why the two women got together to combust these epic images of a 53-year-old nude J Lo traveling the Internet. It was my idea to put Daniella’s name on the images in an effort to keep them in the digital stratosphere as much as possible.
