I recognize that goose... it was up here for the summer
littlejohn22:
I must get down there again real soon
On 04 October 2017, it finally happened... I had my first photoshoot with a model. It was a TFP shoot. For those of you who read my blogs, this was the model that I was supposed to shoot with during the summer, but could never sync our schedules.
We shot for about 2.5 hours, including outfit and makeup changes at Lake Las Vegas. The locations...

Great blog post. There's some striking stuff in here. I do like the stairwell stuff. Your model has fantastic hair and a gorgeous smile, too! Your commentary is great. I've often wondered about the actual process of photography and I found your insights really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
deadguitarist:
Thanks @jezzied. Glad you liked it. I should have mentioned that Lake Las Vegas is a private community but the common areas (shops, restaurants, lake, etc.) are open to the public. They allow casual photography, but require a permit for commercial, professional shoots, which technically it wasn’t because we weren’t shooting for publication nor was any money exchanged, but LLV probably would have considered it as one. The permit costs $50, which isn’t a big deal, but also requires an insurance policy with Lake Las Vegas as the beneficiary, which I was not going to buy. So, that’s part of the reason I felt rushed early on and we moved around. The stairwells were more secluded so I was more relaxed and I think she was too, which I think is reflected in the photos I posted and the ones I didn’t. Anyway, we didn’t want LLV security personnel to see us and ask us to leave before we got what we came for. The bridge gets more foot traffic than the other spots we shot at. My model had her hair done the day before and it turned out spectacular. Her smile is great and she pulls of a good pouty look at times too.

Yep, exactly what everyone else has said!
deadguitarist:
@chalk & @livay, thank you so much for commenting. I really appreciate it.
Although no one here has inquired, I am alive and well. So is Mrs. DeadGuitarist, my brother, Mrs. DeadGuitarist's sister and her husband. And my brothers best friend (he's like family) is okay too.
Although I do like country music occasionally, I did not go to the concert. In fact, like most locals, we avoid the Las Vegas Strip as much as possible;
Nope, we...

I saw tweets by @marajade & @calaveraa, so they are ok. I saw an Instagram post by @zen so she's ok too. Haven't seen @kyloren_sith on SG in a long time so I hope he's ok. I'd like to hear from other Las Vegas SG peeps.
zen:
Thank you love, my family and I are safe 💜🙏🏼 Glad you and yours are too!
Tomorrow is the Las Vegas Aspiring Photographers astrophotography Meetup in Rhyolite, NV.
I know this is last minute, but the Meetup planner just posted that she is bringing a body painter who is visiting from Colorado. We are looking for one or two models who want to get body painted (body paint and/or black tape art).
There will be plenty of photographers, many of whom...
