I shot this model test with Shaun on Oct. 9/09 and makeup and hair was by Grace. We set this up on short notice and I figured I would just shoot some different looks around the Airstream on the roof of 5th. I was NOT going for a full story between the different shots. I tried to have some other shots set up, but there was not enough time for them. The first is a back light shot inside the Airstream which I figured would be more commercial and the second out side shot I wanted something more Poppy and fun, hence the outfit changes and Karate Kick!! All in all it was a fun shoot.
I shot this around the end of September. It was a Look Book shoot for KamiShade.com. There were four models and three makeup artist on set, all booked by Kami. We shot 19 articles of clothes in about 3 hrs. As far as looks I was shooting a high fashion pose as well as casual poses. I chose to put up a mix of the shots/poses to show a variety of the styles.
I shot Italian model Nabila and make up by Max at 5th and sunset LA on Saturday 09-12-09. It was on short notice and not much was planned out, but I feel I got some great beauty shots and I had fun shooting the dramatic backlighting.
Life in LA has been fun and hard. It seemed like I didn't get out as much this year, but I did get to hang by the pool at The Compound all summer. I just didn't get out on the cruisers like the summer before. We would ride from Culver to Playa up past Venice, Santa Monica, and some times Malibu. Some of the other shots are of the great vintage I get to see roaming the streets or parked outside the studio I use to work for. The last shot is on Melrose were on any given weekend you could go get some overpriced vintage and see the choppers parked out side the cafes. Yes these are the days, Hot and how I like them.
