A Photo Opportunity
I recently took a leap of faith and decided I'd rather get back into the competitive world of print/commercial/music than sitting comfortably and making a huge salary. At the end of the day it just seemed like no matter I wasn't content. However, I decided to ditch that and dive back into things. Always a good sign that you get booked right away. At least I didn't waste time thinking "maybe I made a mistake" or "maybe I should've thought about it a little more..." I booked 3 back to back jobs and am extremely exhausted with 2 down one to go. Tomorrow is the last day and thank god for that. Don't get me wrong, I love doing it but physically it's demanding. So yesterday was an interesting shoot...
It was at a studio which is always cool and even better with other people my age. It was 5 girls and 1 guy. I got picked to do the "steamy" shots with the guy which took an unexpected turn midway into it. I did my first set for the swimsuit portion of the catalog and the next was a sortof boyfriend/girlfriend spread. It started casual then the next thing I knew it was like that controversial Abercrombie and Fitch catalog where the guys and girls appeared half naked and more focused on each other than the clothing. You get breaks in between and I started chatting up with the guy who ended up being cool. We were both half Hawaiian so they figured we'd pair up nicely together. I really started enjoying his company and it wasn't hard to "act" like we were into each other. We ended up all going out to dinner after that at Ortolan. This place was THE BEST restaurant I've been to in a long time. The chef is from L'Orangerie and the food was amazing. I highly recommend this place and it's pretty romantic. I ended up making out later with that guy only this time, we weren't being photographed. It was fun...
