.. 3 rights and then shoot.
I called Cateia today asking her about the magazine cover shoot for tonight at the Raven Lounge. She talked to Amber and said everything was cool, so I hopped in the car and headed into Philly. I didn’t bring the major equipment, such as strobes or backdrops, just my main camera and variety of lens. I got there with the usual battle of traffic, yet a parking garage was convinently a few steps away. I walked in to find the place quite small, cozy and dark. One of the photographers was set up and waiting. I proceeded to the back to say hello to Cateia. She introduced me to Amber, a very attractive and sweet woman. I saw Rommel and Mylena walked in with some really nice funky blond hair in tight little curls. It looked great on her. I was just chatting with Rommel about his up coming shoot and me going to VA.
I got back to me bag and fired up the camera, after going upstairs and viewing the scene I could see that I was the fly on the wall photographer tonight. A little discouraged I shot the models as they were worked on and some of the people watching the shoot. I tried not to get in the way of distracting the girls as they were being shot, yet they looked at my camera a few times while that other guys were shooting. So I tried my best to get some shots in…
The models were quite attractive and unique in there outfits. Amber was dressed up as a New Years party-gal. Christmas tinsel was even used as a top for some of the girls.
I went upstairs to hang, watch some people dance, and then I went in to the bathroom. I just started “myspacing out” here are 2 of the pics.
Two hours had pass and Cateia was running around like crazy, as usual, yet I enjoy her personality and her work. I fired a few more pics and packed up my things. Before leaving I got to meet Sarah one the designers there, I have her card and will call her for some future gigs. I’m going to turn her on to Monica and the agency.
All and all, I had a few drinks, got to hang with some friends and met some new people in the process.
