1940’s Murder Mystery

I love working with talented models and there couldn’t be a more talented trio than the twin bees (Alexandra and Juliana) and Yuffie. It just takes a big load off your shoulders when your models know how to take direction and understand the concepts you’re trying to convey. It helps that they’re all avid designers and can pull props (like a big old rusty knife) from out of the linen closet.

F is for Film

My friend Boo has a film troupe called F is for Film. They spoof popular movies and trends. Their troupe consists of 7 people at the moment, so that was group shots and single shots of everyone including a headshot type thing. There was a theme, film at the end of the universe or the end of the world or some kind of film in the future doomsday idea. They found this awesome empty floor of a building that was under construction. I kind of went the Men in Black route when asking them to pick costumes. The fun part of groups is finding each individuals personality and bringing it out in facial expressions and body language.

I did a little editorial shoot for 46 Lounge and Snapm back in 2009. It was summer. Sonic had just opened in New Jersey and there was a line all the way down the highway. I had been watching alot of SYTYCD (So You Think You Can Dance) and wanted to replicate that 3 dimensional thing they were doing with the lighting. It was a very strong sidelight that rimmed the edge of the dancer. I used a large silver umbrella and probably should have gone with a long gridded softbox for more control.
