Lucy Buttons exploded onto the burlesque stage over a decade ago, instantly becoming a headliner and a force to be reckoned with. Her award-winning signature style has been featured in film, television, and magazines, solidifying her as a New York City Club Legend. Lucy is also an accomplished ballroom dancer, and she is the executive producer of I Love Burlesque in New York. Lucy produces Dromedary Burlesque and Buttons' Burlesque Brunch, and she's also a regular at Le Scandal Cabaret. She also hosts her own podcast called Parade of Dicks.

Having performed in over twenty festivals across the country, Lucy is a tempest who can pack – as well as bring down -- the house. This professional temptress has made it her mission to provide entertainment and some sultry escapism for audiences everywhere.

We discuss her favorite photo of herself shot by Robert Feiner and my favorite photo of her show by Ely Kay.

Episode 15: Mela Shea is The Stand Up Psychic

Let’s run this down: She’s a psychic and a medium. She does stand up comedy. She has a Patreon where she does all the aforementioned, but also NSFW content (like super kinky stuff with herself and with her boyfriend to satisfy all your fetishes). She has cerebral palsy. She survived a traumatic youth, but got through all of those with science and psychedelics. Wildly interesting is an understatement. And there’s still much, much more. We also discuss her favorite photo of herself shot by Ohad Kab.

Episode 4 : Tawn Le (Wants You to Find Your Why)

Tawn Le left her corporate job at Amazon in New York City in the summer of 2018 to pursue an adult gap year to satiate her curiosities. During her gap year, she unknowingly spent time with her Father before he unexpectedly passed away in early 2019. Her experience during those last few months further solidified her intuition of leaning into her love of creativity and play. Tawn is currently using her year off to travel, learn, illustrate for her blog and comic strip, develop her Reiki practice, lean into her creativity, and build deeper connections with friends and family. We talk about her favorite images and my favorite image she created.

Episode 0: Fun Shoot Podcast with Jong Clemente

Welcome to the Fun Shoot Podcast where we talk with image makers and light shapers about their artistry and entertainment.

I bring my friends and acquaintances for unfiltered, straight out of the camera conversations about their processes in their craft and in their lives.

In these episodes, I hope to showcase that one does not need to be a celebrity, a millionaire or “internet-famous” to be successful in your craft or be worth listening to. If you have that thing you love doing, anyone - you - have something to say. Everyone will be benefited from hearing and feeling your passion, big or small.
