Test Shoot: Phylicia

Phylicia from Q Models LA. I really need an asst!-- held 22in silver reflector in left hand while shooting with other. Any takers? :-)

Shoots: Lorceluna and Dynast

Lorceluna is an old friend from back in the Aria/Ford days who I thought would be a perfect match with Dynast, of Silver Models. The light this time of year goes away earlier, so these were taken about 3:30pm in Los Angeles, using the 70-200mm 2.8/L.

Shoot: Sydnie

Test Shoot: Sun & Connie

Sun and Connie, repped at Wunder. Uber-shout out to Deb Chung for her amazing MUA talents! Apologies to all for my puking dogs (readers, don't ask).

Test Shoot: Sasha

Same as prior entry... not a lot of time for detailed recount, suffice to say, Sasha was WONDERFUL. Special thanks to my "assistant for life" Summer, for all the holding, hauling, attending, and MUA duties she performed!

Test Shoot: Shannon

Oy! Have been overwhelmed last couple of months-- I absolutely refuse to believe it is October...surely there is trickery afoot. Well, things aren't slowing down anytime soon, so not a lot of time for quippy rhetoric-- here's the down and dirty:

Location: Griffith Park, 3pm-7pm; 85% the 70-200mm hovering around 5.6, 15% the 24-70mm, same-ish aperture. ND.6 on both lenses for everything in the jean shorts.

Model: Shannon, repped at Wunder Management. Super nice gal who can keep up with me = bonus points. Mega thanks to her boyfriend for helping hold a variety of reflectors for me!

Usual disclaimer of: blogger compression blows-- colors way better than they appear here.

Shoots: Duo

As mentioned, I had shot April&Hailey in the same session... and while modeling agencies generally don't like to feature two or more models from the same agency in one photo if it's just a test-shoot, I figured since I had them both right there, might as well take advantage of it, if only for practice/fun.
