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!

 

Wallpaper Wednesday

A reminder why we live in Miami. This happens once or twice a year. The most insane fog you’ve ever seen and unless you can wake up early and get above the cloud line, you would never know it happened.

Wallpaper Wednesday

Okay, my bad. I didn’t do this last week. But to be honest, I didn’t do anything I needed to last week other than eat, sleep, shoot and retouch (there wasn’t that much eating and sleeping in truth). So it killed me not to post on Wednesday. Honestly! And to make up for it, since the only people I know who use wallpaper Wednesday are boys (sorry girls but you need to speak up if you want VIP treatment) here’s a little hottie for you. It’s still a PG hottie, actually it’s a head shot so it’s not much for a sexy photo at all. But she has one good looking mug!

Kate Benson in The Light of Florida Exhibition, and other arty things to do this weekend.

In Florida, our summers are rough, let’s be honest. Photo shoots turn into games of dodge the thunderstorm/shoot before the sweat seeps through the model’s clothes or heat exhaustion sets in. So December is when we get our BBQs, beaches, basically we get outside back. Art is synonymous with December here in Miami. We have our wonderful Art Basel at the beginning of the month. So if this summer has felt a little long to you and you want to pretend it is December…. (or maybe this is just a really long winded lead into my plug). This weekend is perfect! We have Saturday night art walk in Wynwood where you can stroll through galleries sipping wine and discussing the artists intentions (museums, are you listening? wine + art = awesome). Tonight at Bakehouse an amazingly talented artist ENRIQUE SENDRA, has a solo exhibition opening (you may have read about it in the Miami Herald last Sunday, my good friend Matt wrote and photographed the article). Or if your residing in the north, The Light of Florida (an ASMP sponsored show) is up at the Mark K. Wheeler Gallery at the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale -featuring a piece from yours truly.
Hope to see you at one of these stops this weekend!

Shame on me. Instead of being a good blogger and posting when I wasn’t working, I was playing. Provincetown…..Maine….. Bimini…. jealous? Sorry, being that summer is the slow season in Miami I feel like I have to rub in that when I haven’t been working I was playing and traveling. It’s only fair that I get to brag once in a while, I host gaggles of friends and family in the winter months so that obligates them to return the favor and host me when the weather is rotten where I live.
But it hasn’t been all play. Quite the opposite. I booked all these fun trips thinking I would be board out of my mind with summer here. Instead it has been pure madness. The photography business is booming (which is always good), so goodbye weekends, goodbye running to the beach before dinner. The penance for my playing is that I get no breaks. Even Sam has felt the wrath of my insane summer (if you promise me you’ll help stack my photographs in Photoshop, you better deliver, that’s all I’m saying). Seriously, Matt, are you listening to this? Hope your having fun in NYC…. (teasing, only teasing).

So here’s the proof I’m alive because when you don’t even see me on Facebook you know it’s bad. A couple of shots from the stunning Abby Lynn’s photo shoot. She’s a talented singer and incredibly fun girl. Not to hard to photograph either 🙂 a complete natural in front of the camera. The photography is for multiple uses, hopefully a new website (we all want to see more of you Abby!), CD cover art, etc.
