Shoot Diaries: Jenny's Spider Shoot

So two days ago, I worked with Jenny Liu again, this being my third time shooting with her. But when you have a good model, why not, right? Anjelica picked her up and they came to my apartment, we spent some time (okay a LOT of time) doing makeup and hair. Ultimately we decided on crayola paint for the eyes and toilet paper rolls for the hair. (Don't ask...) Here, of course are some shots from the preparation segment:

Then we took a drive over to Tradewinds park. Upon leaving the car, I saw some dude deting up his tripod. I yelled over to him, like a dork "Hello fellow photographer!" and he replied genially, probably wanting me to leave him alone. But then he said it was his first time in the park so I gave him some friendly tips and let him know the more scenic spots. He thanked me and set off. Oh I felt so cool. It's so funny when you see someone else with a camera and you automatically assume you have this..strange connection, like you were born in the same hospital and just happened to come upon them in a random spot in the world. Or maybe I'm just overanalytical.

After being shooed away from my desired spot for shooting by the elite frisbee-golf jockeys, we finally started to shoot. It was my first shoot using an actual reflector (not a piece of cardboard with tinfoil plastered on it!) and it was pretty cool. Almost like having a light outdoors. Which Im investing in at the moment..

Me and Jenny, being hippies.
