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.

Jenny...skipping..or something.

That's about it for this shoot. I'm going to try to stay up to date with posts so be sure to check back soon! :)

Black Widow Shoot

Wow so I definitely am not keeping up with this thing much am I? Not so important, not like anyone really looks, haha. I have my view count, I know what goes on...
Anyway I will keep on for the sake of keeping on!

Anyway so yesterday, Mayte Hodson and I started shooting. It was, of course, an outdoor shoot [which in FL isn't a great idea in the summer.] We started shooting some pics on a dock on a lake near her house. Then of course, the rain came pelting down. Now I've had to cancel 2 shoots in the past 5 days due to rain. I couldn't let this get me. After running back to her apartment, we did some shots in the bathtub which was something I just needed to do since I never have...

And then we had some watermelon...



which was fun.

And then the great Anjelica Martinez comes over and lets me borrow her strobe/soft box. Now I never use lights so this is a new thing. I definitely loved it! Here's my first edited shot:


Jelly and Mayte spent like 2 hours on makeup while I sat around eating and reading Elle.

Here's some shots:




It was an incredibly long shoot and I didn't stop til 11:30 ish.

But it was fun! Mayte is an excellent model and can go from giggly to fierce in .5 seconds! :]


More soon!
