Fashion with some great models!

We worked with Metropolished again the other day and it seemed like the AC was definitely NOT capable of keeping up, it was getting hot…

(this brief fiction section gives me a little creative freedom with my writing, nothing more. the models were merely acting or posing under our direction.)

Jerrod had to finish up a little business before we got started…

…then the AC was on the fritz…

…or, it could have been Danielle’s modeling that heated it up…

…why not take advantage of having two talented (as well as great-looking) models on set at the same time…

then Jerrod whispered a little something to Danielle…
c'mere, listen...

and pulled her in for an embrace…
Is it hot in here?

Wow, that was a great day behind the lens of the camera, we had a blast with Susi at Metropolished as well as all the models that day!

ps: we’ll have some Senior portraits and Engagement Sessions coming up on the blog soon!

More work with Metropolished…

We are having a blast working with Susi and Val at Metropolished Model and Talent Agency, these two are creative, caring, and overall wonderful people. We’ve been busy shooting for headshots and compcards for their models on a pretty regular basis. If you’re looking for an agency to represent you give them a call and see what they can offer, if you’re in need of models for an event, look no further as they have some great talent in their ranks (we know because we’ve worked with most of them!) Well, on to the images (these are from a variety of days and shoots)

These are just a few of the models we’ve worked with over there and we’ll post more (surprisingly the website is more updated than the blog!)

Fashion shoot…

We had another photoshoot with some models from Metropolished this past weekend. The girls were great to work with and helped make some awesome images, we’ve been inspired and will probably be contacting them to do some more shoots soon. These shots are mostly fashion oriented, we’ll share some more as time goes on, we’ll be heading over there again this weekend for some headshots too.

Before I get to the pictures let me tell you about a fashion show at 202 Market this coming Thursday night. The folks (Susi and Val) over at Metropolished will be organizing and coordinating everything as well as bringing the models to the Star City. Take a look here for more info! We can’t wait to see you there!

Well, now to the images…

Susi is absolutely amazing as a make-up artist, from a natural look, to high fashion, to stage and TV Susi can rock out with the brushes and powders! Val is such a bundle of energy during these shoots too, bustling with ideas and suggestions, as well as standing in as a model from time to time.

We started off outside with a few headshots as well as bathing suits, Kaili really turned it up for this shot…

Then we headed inside for some high fashion shots with some really fabulous dresses from Patina and of course Susi’s impeccable styling. Gracie possesed quite an elegance in these gowns, she gave everything we asked for that day and it shows in her film…

…then we took Gracie in another dress and used a little more dramatic lighting for this shot…

Wow, you should have seen how Christina rocked this dress with perfectly matched styling by Susi! …oh wait, I can show you!

Well, that’s it for now, feel free to share your thoughts here. By the way, Susi is availabe for styling for your portraits, let me know if you’re interested.

Dark and Scary anyone??

So I’ve been looking at images that I’ve already created trying to find an area of improvement… I was trying some new techniques and just kept going and going… While this is far from perfect (or finished) I liked the final image here (so far)and thought I’d share it with you…

Oh yeah, by the way, this was from a photoshoot for Metropolished Model/Talent Agency that we did the other weekend, Kyle is an old friend making it big in Cali!

Something different…

…well different for me. We were contracted to shoot headshots for a new Model/Talent agency in town called Metropolished. We will be working with Susi and Val from time to time doing headshots and fashion shoots. Here are a few samples from a recent session…

As with our recent engagement session we’ll post more in the next few days. We will be offering more edgy shoots for portraits and seniors who desire more of a fashion look.
