Walkin on Wabash

 

Working with new people in new locations is creative fire for me.  The opportunity  to assemble a team of beauty and talent and simply walk down a street can be a wonderful thing, and one that I don’t take for granted.  There are many things to love about Chicago, but one of the things I love for photoshoots is the infinite number of lines and pockets of light that I can use for a photoshoot.  Glass buildings suddenly become huge reflectors casting beautiful light on a model.  Trees and objects cast interesting shadows that I use in the composition.  My mind literally goes into overdrive and sometimes I have to reign it back in, making sure that I don’t short circuit.

For this shoot, I had the chance to shoot with the beautiful Angelika Rol.  I had ran across her profile a couple of years ago, and knew that I would want to work with her at some point.  I was a fan of her unique beauty.  What I didn’t expect was the ease of fluidity and poise that she had in front of the camera.  It was pretty much effortless for me, and the shoot had a great flow from beginning to end.  This was also my 2nd time working with Joanna Boblak.  She is highly talented at hair and makeup.  And I appreciated her attention to detail and flexibility to help us create, but also leaving room for improvisation.  Last, but not least, I was lucky to have a styling powerhouse for this shoot with Kenya Sherron.  Once I saw her website, I knew that she was going to add the right kind of stylistic elements to this shoot.  We went for a minimalist vibe with a retro spin, complimented with pink and white tones.  It was perfect for the setting that we were using.  I highly suggest checking out all their pages and work.
