This shoot was “personal work,” i.e. I did it for my own purposes rather than at the behest of a client. It was a quick shoot, zero budget, single theme, no wardrobe changes or big productions. But I knew how I wanted it to look in my head, and it turned out pretty close. I like when that happens! Happy accidents are great, but so are happy “on purposes”. Ok so I’ve got the concept, now to find a model, a location, wardrobe and a whole bunch of tennis balls…all for free.

But apparently the fashion police were busy elsewhere, and I sneaked over the border and landed at Smashbox Studios in Culver City. At the request of Andrea Pohlot and littledesignernotebook.com, I had a nice press-pit seat to view and shoot the new collection from Nicholas Clements-Linsey (www.nclcouture.com).

I shall let the images finish off this post. Remember, I donate a canned food item to the local food bank for each non-spam comment left on my blog.
