Fashion Shoot #1 Complete
April 29th, 2011

I was finally able to wrap this fashion shoot up but it didn’t go as smoothly as planned. I seriously didn’t think so many things could go wrong in one shoot! Everything you could think of went wrong. I mean everything! I had models cancel, MUA cancel (but this was valid), hair stylist no show, & my assistant bailed on me the night before the shoot! Awesome! Or as Christina, one of the models, would say, “not winning”!
Between lugging around equipment and directing the MUA (and now hair stylist) it was really a hectic day in which I really had to take a step back every once in a while to make sure that I was still on track. Having to think on my feet and provide direction to everyone there, I was happy that I had taken the time to prepare for this shoot the way i did. As both models put it, “you’re so organized & punctual”.

Regardless of all the chaos that went on in the background I feel great about the final images produced from this shoot and at the end of the day that’s all that matters. The end result!
I had the pleasure of working with models Tanisha & Christina on this shoot and they were amazing! Especially after they realized how mad I was because of the hair stylist not showing up. lol.
Cathrine Raffaele, the MUA, did a great job on makeup as well as saved my butt by stepping in and taking care of the hair styling. Thanks again!
And last but definitely not least, my wardrobe stylists Beth & Jess put together some great outfits.
The location was better than I can put into words! The Mountain Mermaid was an excellent location to shoot and the owner was very easy to work with. The scenery and landscape on this property made it very easy to jump from one look to the next. It really was an ideal location for a fashion shoot.

In my previous posts (post 1, post 2) I described my thought process throughout the planning stages for this shoot. I included sample images used for inspiration, thoughts on locations and other ideas I was considering.

I would like to think that the steps I took in preparing for this shoot allowed me to pull it off. Had I not taken the time to plan as I did, this shoot would have turned out to be a disaster.
Finally I would like to mention that if you are interested in working with anyone mentioned above, you are free to contact them. I have added links to their websites and you can find their contact information there.
I hope you have enjoyed reading about my little adventure. I’m now working on the next one. Come back to see how that turns out.
Nyla Beauty Shot
January 13th, 2011 Angel I recently had the opportunity to work with Nyla on a ad style shoot and I took advantage of the situation to steal a few beauty shots.
Here is the lighting setup I used:
The background was a white muslin that I blew out with 2 AB-800′s with 24″ X 24″ soft boxes. The one on the left side was slightly back towards the camera to reach the model’s face giving her that highlight on her right hand side. The key light was an AB 800 with a 36″ X 24″ soft box located to camera right.
