Yelling tiger, crouching model

It's been a busy few days! This is me during a lighting test for a shoot yesterday. I just had to get around to the other side of the camera because I have a new tshirt that I LOVE and I wanted a picture of me in it with my mouth open like the tiger! (Thanks Jess for taking the pic and being an awesome help during set up!)


Hehehe....anyway...moving on... my client hasn't even seen the pics yet, but I'm going to be sneaky and show you some behind-the-scenes shots I took during the day...

I love this pic, it's fabulous model Catherine (who also happens to be a champion fencer!) and her equally fabulous boyfriend Julian (you might recognise him as the hairdo dude from the ANZ commercials). Julian can also do a fantastic Zoolander pull-the-undies-out-of-your-pants impersonation...

Anyway, I just turned around, and between shots he was quickly touching up her makeup.

How's that for a cool boyfriend!

This is the most wonderful Esther - the co-owner of boutique bridal and evening gown design studio Angel's Wings - doing some final fittings to her sister Bebe's creation. Esther has to be the sweetest person I ever met, and she also has the sweetest tooth. Candy, candy, candy everywhere!

And this, well how could I resist. We were doing lots of beautiful weddingy poses but Kung Fu fighting was on the stereo and I was like 'come on catherine give me a punch'

Wooo cha!

Turned out pretty cool I think.

11 hours later and we're still standing - although poor Catherine had to leave slighty earlier for another four hours of catwalk practice for some event .... shitbags! She must have been tired 'cause I and everyone else was wacked!

Here's our team pic doing the Chinese 5-10 finger signs, designer Bebe, model Grace, me, owner Esher, cheeky monkey and general props and grip crazy girl Tina, and makeup magician Vincey.

Thanks guys for a great day and some gorgeous photos! You can check them out at the Wellington Spring Wedding Show on Oct 4 at the Angel's Wings stand.
