Glam Live at Samba Sushi No More
If you have not heard about Glam Live Thursday's being canceled at Samba Sushi bar and restaurant; now you have. Glam Live has been a very important event for the models, photographers, make-up artist and stylists to practice their skills on a weekly or as need basis. Glam Live offered aspiring models a platform to test the waters to see if they really like modeling. Photographer's have a great opportunity to work with some up and coming models and test new gear. More importantly this was a free venue. Now, since Glam Live at Samba Sushi has been canceled will there be a replacement venue coming soon? That is a very good question and I am sure Dan Baron is working on another venue.
Until a new venue is announced I wonder what is going through the minds of models that were use to getting free photos, make-up and hair styling and the photographers that were use to working with several models free of charge? I am sure there are several photographers out there still shooting for free, now instead of depending on Glam Live to provide the models, make-up artist, stylists and designers they will be force to coordinate all of the resources themselves.

3 Theme Photo Shoot
3 Theme Photo Shoot
This Sunday (1/9/2011) I am doing a photo shoot that consist of 3 different themes. Theme 1 will be a football jersey shoot with a hint of sex appeal thrown applied. Theme 2 will be an abstract shoot which the models will wear their attire of choice. The intent of the abstract shoot is to capture something out of the ordinary using a combination of the surrounding environment, props and of course the models. Theme 3 will be a promo shoot for Concept Motor Sports, this shoot will have a strong emphasis on the TREX motorcycle using the models to bring out sexiness of the TREX.
I will have two models for this photo shoot that I have not previously worked with. My intent for this photo shoot is to have fun with the environment, props and lighting. Now, in order for me to accomplish my objective there are a few things that I need to ensure are in place. So, today I will be visiting the photo shoot location to do a walk through in order for me to get a mental picture of how I want things to flow. Additionally, I will inspect my gear to ensure everything is functioning properly and supplies are available. I already know that I need to repair a velcro strap on one of my softboxes that came loose from a previous photo shoot. As far as supplies are concerned I need to replenish my AAA batteries, masking tape and body sheen spray.
I have verified / confirmed with the models to ensure that they received the photo shoot details and model release form.
Stay tuned for photos from this photo shoot.
