I'm starting to wonder if I got in over my head with this fashion week shoot. I'm no longer just shooting during fashion week, but I'm shooting a book pre-fashion week. And I'm starting to wonder if I have the ability...let me rephrase that, I think I have the ability, I'm starting to wonder if I can show the designer I have the ability. This will be my biggest, hardest, most press, and greatest shoot I've ever done. I'm really looking forward to it, but also quite nervous.
So I haven't updated in a while. Mainly because I'm running out of stuff to update with. I'm not very good at this sharing my personal life stuff.
I did another non-SG shoot with a model looking to be a muse of sort. She wants to shoot more often with me and help me with pretty much any of the weird ideas I come up with...trust me I come up with some crazy shit and sometimes can't find the models who see that same vision. So I put her to the test and pushed her to her comfort limits. I know she doesn't shoot nudes (at least I thought she didn't..story to come at the end of this) so I pushed her to the limits of what she does do and making sure she is comfortable shooting with me in crazy ideas and to make me comfortable when I come up with crazy ideas in just a basic set...and she freaking shined. I was very proud of her and happy with the work (pictures will follow later when I get to editing them). She did a great job and I could see her comfort level really develop as the shoot progressed. Most people underestimate the power of a model and photographer being comfortable with each other and trusting each other during a shoot. Next up for her is a test of her acting and posing....it's a great idea that she already loves, and I think she is going to do great.
So speaking of nude...at the end of the shoot we were talking and she said that she was sending pictures in to SG. She had no clue that I was shooting sets for SG when she told me. I'm not sure how comfortable she is with shooting nudity or if she fully knows what SG is about. I actually don't think she's ever done a nude shoot and had to develop comfort with an implied shoot, but I may have another model to shoot SG sets with.
Almost forgot..one of the best things about this set is that I tested an indoor-studio type set up that I created. It worked amazing. It worked better than I expected. That means I can have a steady place to shoot indoors and I love it. It was just a plain white background, but can be painted any color. It was the one thing I was lacking. I can set it up the night before and it only take five minutes to take down. I'm excited that I finally have a location to do shots with just a plain background...all without ever leaving my house! Can we say in-home studio? I still have more work to do before everything with it is completely done, but the initial shoot turned out great.
Keep an eye out for the set I did with Pesky that is to come out on February 1st.
And I think that's all for today. It's time for MW3.....Kill confirmed!
