=================================
Yesterday I participated in "FASHION FEUD" - Fashion Project in San Francisco. It was good! Nice and creative atmosphere, good music... very casual and fun. A came earlier and had a plenty of time to prepare a shooting. Models Shai White and Sarah Pesavento arrived earlier too so we had a time to come up with some great photos right before show started. Shai and Sarah - both are great model and I really enjoyed working with them.
It was a live "Project Runway" - like competition on stage. Designers are given an hour to create a design to prepare for a runway on stage. Models will have a walk-of on stage with their newly designed outfits. Fashion designers Julia and Chanel did a great job.. but competition is competition... Finally after models strutted down the catwalk in just designed dresses - Designer Julia and Model Shai won!
Another photo session with the wonderful model Jenna Moreci and my partner, the creative and talented makeup artist Aimee Lam.
This time I had great photographer Christine Nguyen helping me during this session. I met her @ a Santana Row Fashion Show.
It was awesome photo shoot. We started with makeup at 10:00 am in Aimee's house. While Aimee did her magic, I was going though some fashion magazines, finalizing my ideas. What makes the photo? Why are some photos technically good but still very boring?
This time I decided to concentrate more on the motion and movement of the model: freezing the time, catching something that will never be seen again, this is what I love in photography. Actually I always like dynamic photos, but for this session I decided to concentrate on this specifically. OMG! Poor Jenna! – You are going run and jump for a few hours in a row…. :-) And you know what!? Jenna did it ! We were working about five hours, nonstop.
Jenna is very enthusiastic and creative. She has a wonderful personality with a lot of positive energy, so working with her is a pleasure and very fun. We did three major theme changes and a few variations for each. It’s a lot for one shoot, but we made it happen!
Thanks a lot, Jenna, for your talent and hard work! Thank you Aimee – You created wonderful work for makeup and hair, as usual :-)
Thank you Christine for your help! Let’s work together again sometime!
A few glamour photos with very low available light: just two household regular lamps. It was two different lamps with a different color temperature. One a little cooler, one warmer. and it helped to create interesting colors theme. No studio lights, even no on camera flash.
This photo is from my one of the favorites projects “A Lonely Tango”. It’s not about Tango, not about dance. This project is about … actually about Love. Tango is a three-minute romance. Love, anguish, excitement, jealousy, … all in three minutes of dance…
Tango is “background”, theme and a ‘connecting link” in my project.
I started this project a couple of years ago with my best friend and tango partner Iveta. (yes, I use to dance tango) .. We have done a couple of photo sessions and unfortunately stopped. I think it is a really great project and I should continue with this series..
