Fashion Shoot with Jessica

So I have this new really cool antique sofa and I've been itching to shoot some fashion stuff with it. Since Jessica and I had a couple of hours to kill, we did a quick shoot with old cameras and a big blue dress. And then it was off to the airport for Jessica.

Soon it will be time for me to fly out as well. I have one more chronicle before I take my big flight to Australia on Friday. As usual I can only be reached via email. I will also be discontinuing service with my cell phone and I expect to go with a new cellular company when I return. So don't bother to call me on my cell after the 30th, it won't be my cell number anymore. When I'm back in May call me at home (828) 298-9878 and until then, send emails and keep me up to date with what you're doing.

Mine

This is a series entitled "Mine." The idea was inspired by characters done by Edward Gorey. The plan was to have the models murder each other in twisted ways over a lollypop. They were to act out the murders behaving like siblings fighting over a toy. I absolutely love the performances in this series. Everyone did such a fabulous job. I think we all had great fun shooting this.

Group Fashion Shoot

Meet Zach, Ariel, and Satori (who you already know from the first of my cool fashion series shoots). I had the fortuitous opportunity to shoot all three of these models together…well they aren't models by profession, but for a day they were models for me. Ariel is a friend of Satoris' and Zach owns Drinkin Beanz Coffee shop where some of my photography will be displayed. We spent a very long afternoon and evening shooting a few different set ups. I had a mind to do some casual sophisticated fashion shots and another set of darker less traditional shots. Look for that darker series of shots I'm calling "Mine" in the next Chronicle.

Fashion Photo Shoot

Today I had a fashion photo shoot just for fun. I've come a long way from the "glamour shots" I used to do with Rebecca and Jessica when we were kids, but this shoot still held the same playful atmosphere of those days long ago. Come to think of it, those days haven't been so long ago since I still use Jessica as a model whenever she's around.

Featured in the photos is my friend Satori. She was both model and make-up artist. I met her when we were looking for a make-up artist for the short film. She wasn't able to do the movie because of her schedule, but we made plans to one day get together and do some work…play…well both I guess. I wanted some really fun dramatic fashion photos and some dark creepy portraits and Satori wanted some photos for her portfolio so we were both able to help each other out. And the location outside couldn't have been better. I got the creeps just standing outside the place. It was awesome.
