Today we shot at "Pedro's Castle", a work in progress. The owner apparently has run short of money but the layout of this place is one that is destined to be a magnificent home if it is ever finished.
I was teamed with Virginia, who was really easy to work with and very encouraging when it was my turn to play photographer. . The assignment here was to shoot a double spread, a photo that would stretch across two pages of a magazine and we were warned not to put anything that was important in the "gutter", the place where the magazine is bound. Our first model was Paul. Fortunately he had a wardrobe that included the vest you see below. My idea was to portray him as an important hotel magnate looking over the construction of his latest property.
Our next model was Lovey. She was a delight to work with, the first real professional model I have ever photographed. A former New York City model she needed no direction at all. In fact she was making helpful suggestions to us as to how to set up the lighting. I like this frame because of her expression which looks like something that could be used for a mystery magazine story.
Tonight we all convened on a beautiful rooftop restaurant for dinner. Here's a shot from our table.
