I got a couple of hours before my second SF shoot. That's right, I'm already in SF.
So....LA. It was, well fucking amazing.
My host picked me up at the airport in a vintage Mercedes. We rode to his house with windows down and a pleasant breeze rampaging through the car. When we got to his place I was in awe. This is basically a dream house. A LOT of light, beautiful modern design, a view on the ocean from the windows. My own room and bathroom. First shoot was on the same day. Gregory Prescott. I have to take the metro to get to him. Paul, my host gave me very clear directions and I followed them well. An hour twenty minutes later I was at the right station. Gregory picked me up and we went to his studio/apartment. We shot artistic nudes on a roof....Black backdrop, natural light, a view on downtown LA, blue skies and feeling alive. The shoot was over in about 40 minutes, he dropped me off back at the metro and I made the trip back. I really liked that the train went outside for the most part, so I got to look out the window and see some stuff. Paul also gave me 8 rolls of expired 120.
I got home and shot with Paul. With did some light box stuff, I like the results. Then I had my first night of sleep.
The following day I had 2 shoots. First a photographer picked me up, and we drove to the LA river. Got some stunning shots. They are all lingerie and it was a first shoot in a long time when I didn't do any nudes. Felt a bit weird. But the results are fantastic. I'll upload them probably after the 21st. He drove me back to the host and in about an hour another photographer showed up. He was a young guy with his cousin as an assistant. Turned out they only did nudes ones before. So we shot some clothed stuff and then a few topless shots, but the atmosphere got a bit weird. I also did a self portrait with this photographer, I'll upload it once I stop tweaking, it looks exactly like I imagined, There is distance yet closeness.
He left. I think I shot with Paul some more that night.
The following day was Sylvie Blum and Daniel Hebert. Sylvie was very professional, except her back drop fell on me.
I finished writing this post but then there was a problem and it didn't get saved, so I'll finish describing my adventures later.
