Twist it
Revisiting a wonderful shoot with the ever-talented Kate Troedsson, who in this shot is sporting portland’s favorite look: Nerdy Chic. She does this look justice.
One of the older shoots I had the honor of shooting, with the fierce but feminine model Malene Jensen here in Portland, OR.
The talented and hilarious Bryan Bernart had a fantastic shoot in the studio recently. Not just the sauve model seen here, Bryan did a great job working the mullet wig as well, but the range of characters he was able to produce in such short time …truly impressive.
You’ve noticed this same thing happening around the area; these half-buried wooden structures that look like they were once cabins, maybe? But now it’s hard to tell so many years later.
So you step closer to the old door frame in order to take a better look inside. The gravel leading in suddenly gives way and you lose your footing, slipping through the door! Broken glass and gravel, dust and small rocks follow you inside the little room as you scramble to catch a foothold… but this cat litter of doom is as fast as you are!
You start getting panicked. Death by little landslide!?
After several cough-filled seconds, the dust flow slows to a mild torrent and you finally get some leverage.
There are tumbleweeds piled up in every corner of this small room, but you start to realize that the bottom is somehow deeper than the few boards of a “floor” that’s barely keeping you from falling further. Holy crap! It’s unreal that you haven’t crashed through by now!
Maybe you should get the heck out of here and run away. There’s still that tiny Fort over by your vehicle… or you can just bail on this place altogether, adventurer.
Totally up to you, just get out of here.
Despite the rain, I managed to pull this fabulous shoot together with Seattle models Carolyn and Caity. Great duo, these two. They worked well off of each other without too much presumption or coaching on my behalf. The amazing makeup was styled by MUAs Brooke Morse and Sarah Prevo; hair by Justi Stewart (from Celena Rubin’s http://www.artofmakeup.com)
Test shoot with the extremely talented model Talisha Liles. Hair done in no time, by Jonathan Bermudez.
Great headshot session with Bekha Corson. This was the first time we had worked together, and I think she did a great job. Props to Sheila Valentic for the killer styling.
Wonderful shoot with Tia Fisher. Incredibly conceptualized makeup by MUA: Mila Grass. This was my first time working with both of these talented women. Amazing.
