While we were in New York we had the pleasure of testing with a couple of fantastic Wilhelmina models, Marissa and Brae. This was such a fun lifestyle shoot to execute. We had a great crew on board and we had a super short time frame to make everything come together so it was very high energy! Chris and I ended up shooting this entire test in about 40 minutes. You can always tell the true character of people when you put them in a high pressure situation and I was so impressed with how the talent and crew preformed in such a time crunch.
We concepted this around two New York girlfriends having fun, enjoying life, hopping in a cab and going out on the town. To see the full story you can go here. When we pulled over the cabbie to get the cab shots he was all giddy because he had two beautiful ladies in the back of his car ;). We asked him to bump some beats for us to rock out to and he was grinning from ear to ear the entire time. It was too cute. So there the four of us were... the cabbie, Marissa, Brae and me rockin' out in the cab to Black Eyed Peas "Imma Be". Hands down the highlight of my day!
And the fantastic crew:
