2005.12.11: Mona's shoot

Elecia scouted Mona out of her group of high school friends. We were both surprised that Elecia hadn't discovered her earlier. I was privileged to be the first photographer to shoot with Mona professionally. I was pleased with the results as was Mona, Elecia, and Mona's fiance, Jo. Elecia once again did an excellent job with the makeup. We didn't have the benefit of a hairstylist for this shoot and Mona's hair was quite short making some shots difficult to do.

Elecia and Mona approached me with a Versace ad that they wanted to recreate. The original ad was shot on a ruffled sheet of bright yellow plastic with a yellow electric guitar and yellow clothes. My personal opinion is that this variation actually has greater impact than the original. I'm still not a huge fan of the wardrobe choice in this photo but it seems to work. Lighting was provided by a single Power Z head with the FX60 reflector and a Balcar 10degree spot grid all powered by a Balcar Nexus A3200.

Mona wanted to do a shot like this. Hahah . . . she looks kind of scared and vulnerable in most of the other shots from this look. Scene was lit by two flash heads. The one on the left was modified by a Plume Wafer 140 without the front diffuser. The one on the left was modified by a Balcar LFX30 12" faceted reflector.
