That’s hot.
No, it’s ok. You can say it out loud. I think so, too. Besides, I was there…
So welcome to preview number three – update number two – on the Calendar preview series I’m doing. The above shoot was with Megan Black, and it was definitely a hot shoot. Megan does sexy very well, and she definitely has the body for it too.
The car we had for this shoot, a 383 two-year-restoration one-family-owned Chevy Camaro. It was gorgeous. I’ve always appreciated American Muscle… even being a huge import guy myself, I would love to call a vehicle like this mine.
Now, you might say “Sexy girl against a candy-apple-red car… how cliche”. But you know what, IT WORKS. In this shot, in this location, Megan, the Camaro.. it works.
Megan had multiple outfits, as many of our models did on our shoots. We tried a lot of different looks, styles and poses. Which one exactly will be printed I can’t say… you’ll just have to wait til SEMA when it’s released! Also, as I’ve said, these edits, touch ups, and processing styles are mine and do not reflect what may be used by the client. They are, rather, just how I see the image through my styling.
Check out this engine bay… clean and shiny. And yes, it sounds amazing when it fired up.
Another thing that I appreciated about this shoot… Nick took photos of me working! I typically only allow a handful of photos to be taken on my shoots, and never for very long. But in the case with Nick, he was part of our team and able to capture some shots of me doing what I do – and I NEVER have photos of myself!
Me with my face smashed against my 1D’s viewfinder. On the right is Adam who I had the pleasure working for most of last year.
It’s a rough life I live sometimes… hahaha
Adam was always right there with me during our shoots. It helped to have another creative eye there seeing close to what I was shooting through my camera.
Changing up the pose, deciding if I want to try and light that engine bay, and Megan waiting for more directions.
Some of our setup. Quite low-tech in many ways. I work very light, travel light, and do high-output shoots. I will admit though that as the calendar moved along our shoots became larger and more intensive. Megan is front and center, you can see me on the right going through photos with Adam. The rest of our team and staff in the background.
So that’s it for this update. I had a lot of photos from this shoot that I wanted to share and I decided not to lump two shoots into one post like last time. Look for another update early next week with images from my shoots with the gorgeous Melissa Miko.
Oh, and how many of you recognized Megan from past blog updates and in my portfolio? Megan and I shot in Laguna a week or so after this shoot… I’m sure you remember those photos now, right? No?
How about now?
Alright. That’s all for tonight everyone. Check back in a few days for the next preview!
Peace.
