A little while back I did a shoot with Kaci of Owen's Photography and the wonderful model/photographer Lexy Jo with make-up by John Dye. Peculiar Pigeon aka Aileen, one of my best friends, assisted with the shoot and took the behind the scenes shots. So you have her to thank for your backstage pass. Thanks, Peculiar Pigeon.
The shoot was funny and crazy in all the good ways. Kaci and Lexy are great to work with and both adapt and quickly overcome any obstacles. Mr. Dye is fun, inspiring, and always gives you a great laugh.
I'm excited to work with you all again!
Thanks for the great shoot, dolls!
P.S. Screw the editor and his bad taste! :-D
As all activities can be learning experiences...one negative of the shoot was that I felt slightly rushed, and thus this shoot has prompted me to set a new rule for fashion shoots:
Two hours for hair and makeup
One hour allotted per outfit change per model, with an extra 30mins for hair and make-up if their are any make-up or hair changes.
Example: A shoot with two models with three outfits per model and one make-up change each.
=
2 hours for initial hair and make-up
2 models with 3 outfits each is 2x3= 6 hours
1 make-up change is 30mins x 1 change per model = 1hour
So...
2hours + 6 hours + 1 hour = 9 hour photo-shoot
No more rushing. Rushing equals stress. Stress equals acne. Acne is yucky.
So NO MORE RUSHING! :-)
Yep, that's me doing hair.
Lexy working it
Aileen being bored and taking pictures of leaves. Dork!
Kaci in the zone!!
