Behind The Scenes
Sarah, digital test...
Sarah, Digital Test - October of 2015
Got the chance to work with Sarah again late last week... She was one of the first models I ever worked with. Sad to say she's leaving the Bay Area like so many other creative folks these days. I often wonder how long San Francisco can support the crushing weight of mediocrity that's chasing everyone worth a damn out of this town...
She calls herself a Hydra...
Got the chance to work with a lovely local model the other day, Marina the self proclaimed Hydra. Burned a few frames with a digital camera I borrowed to warm up a bit and thought I'd post a few shots, as well as some behind the scenes snaps for good measure. Have a look at her work @ http://www.modelmayhem.com/810750
Way behind on film but watch for scans and Polaroids to come from this shoot...
and the bay continues to bleed talent...
Got the chance to work with Aubrey one more time before she leaves town, yet another victim of the absolutely ludicrous and ever increasing cost of housing in the Bay Area. Seems like San Francisco is just bleeding talent these days. It's a shame to lose so many creative types for completely preventable problems fueled solely by greed...
Always a pleasure to work with this girl... a photographer herself, she has a wonderful presence on film, a rare gift. Thought I'd post a few behind the scenes snaps and test shots just for giggles... Polaroids and scans to follow just as soon as I develop the pile of film I've been putting off.
Good luck Aubrey... we'll miss you...
New Polaroids...
Shot a bunch of Polaroids in the studio the other day with a new model from Poland... scans and film to come... down to my last 18 boxes of Fuji FP3000b instant film. Going to be a sad day indeed when it's all gone.
