2006.11.03 Bridal Fantasy Mass Shooting

The single biggest day of shooting for this issue of the magazine. Over a dozen models and over twenty people at the shoot location at some times.

Being a model is hard work but sometimes it can be fun.

The cover of Bridal Fantasy - the Album. Hahah.

One of Evan's photos of Matt Hanson. I think we have consensus that Matt looked like Brad Pitt in the movie Meet Joe Black during this shoot. Congratulations, Mandy.

Samantha and the lamp. Lighting balanced with a Lightrein 100x140cm soft box and Lighttools 50degree Soft Egg Crate in the front and one 12 x 48" Lightrein strip light with 40degree Soft Egg Crate on each side. All three strobe light sources driven with a Lightrein 600W/s digital monolight.

Matt's interpretation of the lamp shot.

And Evan's.

Be sure to check out the extended body of this entry for production photos of this shoot shot by Jonathan Puckrin�and Evan Will.

There were two full photographic setups. The main setup and a setup in the sun room to shoot products on a light table. Jonathan popped out and said hi. We switched up part way during the shoot. Jonathan, Evan, and Sarah got turns on the main set.

Gay and Jonathan throwing a bunch of petals onto the set.

Sareena, Leanna, and Pat of Denilore Bridal. Hahah, I don't know why Pat has that funny look on her face.

Aerial view of the set. The photographic team repeatedly urged the client to stop shooting on white given that there was not enough room to set up the lights the way that was necessary to do the shots properly. The shooting area is about 1.5' below where the shooter should be standing and there was no way to get the lights in to light a full length dress evenly.

Graphic artist, artistic director, makeup artist, and, later, hair stylist . . . what don't you do, Mandy?

Showing Darrell some photos. Almost all of the shots taken for Bridal Fantasy over the few months were transferred directly from camera to computer and bypassing the memory card. This allowed for slightly almost-instant preview for composure and to reduce the need for unloading cards.

Another aerial shot of the set.

Peek-a-boo, Leanna.

Aerial shot of the shooting area. We're getting ready for a group shot.

Now we know who poked Aaron's ass.

Hahah, seems like mirrors compressed the entire shooting area into what appears to be six feet.

Sometimes I wonder if it was only Raj's camera that I kept bumping the back of my head into.

Alex, pretty in red.

Cover for Bridal Fantasy - The Disco Album

The cocaine is usually flowing when models get touchy-feely after fashion shows on international runways. Our models are just touchy-feely.

Jonathan or Evan must have started the photo as we moved the lamp towards the wall.

I like your work klyment. This is alluding to me because it shows the crazyness that happens at these shoots.
