(Testing) Mandy Bo

I found Mandy on Model Mayhem last month. Most of the time when I contact models through that site, it’s a few months of messaging back and forth, then another month to find a day we both can shoot and then when that day does arrive, I site there with fingers crossed hoping the model will show up. That was not the case with Mandy! She got back to me in a matter of days and about a week or two later (that was yesterday) we were shooting. I just love it when things turn out that way and that isn’t often.

Mandy was a dream to work with, she was exactly what I was looking for, EXACTLY what I was looking for. When I first started thinking about the feel I was going after with this shoot, I was thinking of a model just like Mandy. I am hoping to work with her again soon, but until then I hope you enjoy the images we produced yesterday.

New Product: Canvas

I’ve always loved canvas, nothing says art like the look and texture of canvas. So when I got home and saw a nice big box waiting for me at the front door I couldn’t wait to get inside and rip it open, I actually felt like a kid at Christmas.

I get a real kick out of seeing my work, my clients right there large as life! The only problem now is that all the prints I have hanging on the wall just look weak in comparison.

Digging up old images: Stages of mood with Shawn

I met Shawn on MySpace a few years ago. I had just started networking and trying to find people to shoot, when I saw Shawn’s hair and his expressions I knew I wanted to shoot him. It took a while, seeing that he is a teacher at a local elementary school he is extremely busy during the school year.

When we finally got together for a shoot it rained and I mean RAINED. We decided to wait out the storm at a near by McDonald’s and of coarse the power went out. But the rain did break for a while and we took our chances and got the images you see up top. Shawn was a great guy to work with, it has been a while since we did this shot and I have been thinking of giving him a call for another.

Shawn, if you read this and your wife is cool with it, drop me a line!
