Photo Shoot Fun

I don't think the average JOE knows what goes into getting one little picture to speak volumes. And rightly so. A few hours after work today was spent with my buddy TJ Getz of Getz Creative Photography doing a photo shoot for Christopher Ashley Salon's new website and to begin building a portfolio.  Whitney was our outstanding model. We glossed her hair for shine, prepped it for style with Bumble Thickening Mousse and Surf Spray so it'd have that big messy windblown look and finished it off with the Awesome new Dryspun Finish (a dry shampoo/texturizer that "kills it" in the volume dept). At the studio, we shifted lighting around, turned on fans and blow dryers to move the hair, changed lenses and cameras, climbed boxes and ladders, changed clothing for looks, make up, flip hair over, more Dryspun Finish, shake it out, smile, smile with your eyes, turn shoulders, less no more, look this way, tilt head, 500 shots later we got it! Oh, now put the image on the computer and edit. More high lighting, darken background, enhance color hues, bring out the eyes, crop, erase rogue hair strands and so on. But, with all that said did I mention that we had a ton of fun!!! Let's do it again.....
