“Wow, she’s hot” followed by “Wait, how’d you do that?!” is typically the response I get when people see this image. Haha, I’ll take credit for the image, but you can compliment Lana yourself.

During our round table meetings in the planning phases of this project I pitched a couple times that it would be cool do something on an airbase… After about a month suddenly everyone else thought “How cool would a shoot be on an airbase!?” Yep, you can bet I gave them a hard time since I was trying to pitch that idea from the beginning, hahaha!

Those of you with a sharp eye will also notice that we’re shooting with one of Jesse Rooke’s custom bikes. I had the pleasure of meeting Jesse a few times at K&N. He’s an incredibly nice guy and was ready to hook us up with a bike for this project – Thanks Jesse! The RatRod is privately owned; and you’d be amazed at how much traffic slowed down to look at it while we were on the highway.

Lana, our gorgeous model, came to us directly from another audition that day. Due to issues with the other models we were left scrambling to find a girl with 24hrs notice – Lana was available and ROCKED the shoot. As soon as I was ready to take photos she was on, posing, and hitting everything we wanted to try.
I can’t say enough about what a great model she was to work with.

We shot many different looks, styles, and poses with Lana that afternoon.
I’ve toyed around with different versions of how I saw this image coming together in a final image. Again, I have no idea how the final printed version will look. I really like my HDR mixed image (first one) but I also think the “washed out old photo” look fits well, too. The client is editing in-house, so, I’ll see what they did when it’s printed.

Lana was  great to work with and I definitely would shoot with her in the future should I ever have the chance.

Directly after this shoot we went indoors for another shoot, with Rita von Riot. But, you’ll have to wait til later this weekend for those to be posted. For those who don’t remember Rita…

Thanks for following everyone! Check back soon for more shots from the calendar!

Peace.
