Tamara

So I am really not good at keeping up with this whole blogging thing. I have already skipped a week and I am a day late on this one. Good thing I don't have many followers yet :) haha.


So magazines and publishers like a photoshoot to become a huge production with many people involved including the photographer, the model, makeup artist, hairstylist, and wardrobe stylist. AT LEAST. There could be more people. Anyways I have done shoots with a team like this and I have done shoots with just myself and a model, where either I did the hair and makeup or the model did the hair and makeup. And you know what?Most of the time the shoots where we don't have a team of professionals come out better!


Take this shoot for example:

This was a last minute shoot that I had set up with a model from Model Mayhem that I have worked with once before. But I mean, we had like one day to prepare if that. She called me the night before and said 'I need some new shots and I have an outfit that I want to wear.' Then she came the next morning already dressed and made up and we shot for not even 30 minuets! It was awesome :). I am a very fast shooter and I like to just get it done. I don't mess around.

So what I am trying to say is that having a team of professionals isn't always the "right" answer. I don't think anyone would be able to tell that this photoshoot was thrown together in less than a second. If you have the right model and the right photographer then the photos will show that, reguardless.








So my model was Tamara Hope Cox and she is just starting out in this business. Like I said her and I have worked together once before and she's a great girl. The first time we shot she was a little shy as far as posing goes, but this time she was fearless! She just gave it all she got and she did amazing. I think we ended up with some really great shots.
