Photography Sessions
We recently had the pleasure of working with three gorgeous models. The first shoot was something that we don’t typically work with, high fashion. The shoot was conducted in the south suburbs of Chicago. Getting there was a long trip, but it was worth it. Our first session with the model was conducted in a cemetery. The model had large hair and a gorgeous outfit. We shot near a few graves, which proved to be a great backdrop. The second scene was spotted while we were driving. It was an alley behind a long strip mall. There was a funny moment, when apparently a bunch of stylists noticed us in the alley (their shop was a few doors down) and proceeded our way. They had fun watching the shoot for some time. The model at that point was wearing a bathing suit combined with some jewelry and other elements.
The second shoot was a two-day marathon. This model was fairly new to the industry and we spent close to 20 hours together. The first shoot was supposed to be fashion/casual and the location was Downtown, Chicago. The shoot went very well, we just didn’t realize we had spent close to 11 hours shooting around town. Also the model had accidentally left her Blackberry in one of the bathroom stalls. Thankfully though someone brought it to a store next to the bathroom. We used a new technique. Since the model was instructed to hold the phone next to her ear, for commercial value, while photographing her we would instruct her what to do over the phone. We used our brand new iPhone with the headset and were able to shoot and speak to the model to get the correct expression, without disturbing the public. Those shots are not present here, but the technique was very useful. The first day was primarily downtown and conducted on the grass and on top of some architecture. The second day started out badly as our 5 am shoot turned into a dud as the temperature dropped to 60 Fahrenheit and completely cloudy. We decided to take the model to an alternative location and shot on a hammock and in the backyard of a home. One would never consider that the location was a backyard, but it truly was. The outcome of these shots was surprising and the photos looked great.
The third shoot was pretty short. It was tough on the model, as she had to travel 3 hours for a 5 am shoot. The shots are different from the style we are used to, but the well-experienced model provided us the help we usually need. The shoot was strictly on the beach in Evanston, IL USA. There were more than two outfits, but these are the shots, we believe turned out well.
All shots will be available for purchase on our stock photography section in the next week or two. If you would like to be notified, please contact us.
