Model Casting
Wouldn’t you want to shoot these legs? I do! I think we have a winner here for the Donald J. Pliner Fall 2011 Marketing shots! We looked at over a hundred models who are in Miami right now, but Elite stepped up to the plate sending us the top two choice. Kinda crazy that she is a size 10. We usually draw the line at size 9 for models but because we are using actually merchandise to shoot with, instead of samples, we can pull them in any size. Which makes everyone really happy because she is amazing!
Every now and again, we all work on Sundays.
Although shooting on a Sunday afternoon with impending storms approaching is not usually my first choice, it turned out well last weekend. I let our subject (this time she’s a 14 year old girl) send me images that inspired her so we could match what she wants with my style. We came out with some incredibly different images. From a tribute to Herb Ritz on the beach to an Anthropologie catalog it’s hard to believe these photos were shot within 1.5 hours of each other.
More to come! Check back, as there was also a quick shoot in the studio before we left and another 2 location looks.
