Blowtorches, Boots, Babe… oh, and a dirty garage…
We had a very simple concept for this shoot. Actually, there is an ooooold photograph that we did a newer version of. But, still pretty much an emulation of the old image… girl… boots… blowtorch.
Jenny is actually an old friend of mine that models in fashion shows. And by old friend I mean I met her when I was shooting those fashion shows shortly after moving to Socal. She was a great sport during this whole shoot.
This image was created in the summer, in a garage, in what was quickly turning into a very hot day. Plus, holding a blowtorch a foot away from you get’s fairly warm..

This was us goofing off in between poses. But, I actually really liked her expression even though it’s not the pose we wanted. The main light source during this shoot is, actually, just the torch. I used a second hot lamp to throw a bit of light on the car, and to give just a bit of rim light to her body.
The fun part of working with Jenny is we always laugh and have a great time. I actually had to go shopping with her to find her outfit and boots. I could only imagine what the girls at Fredricks and Victoria’s Secret were thinking when she walked out in different outfits and said “What do you think!?”

Here’s me and Jenny after the shoot was wrapped. I probably need to start trying to look a little bit nicer when I shoot… or at least not leave my hair so shaggy lookin’. hahaha!

I know I promised you guys Crystal for this update… but you’ll have to wait. I’m going to save her shoot for last because it was one of my favorites. Next up I will have a couple images from Suzy’s shoot in the graveyard!

Also, I’m heading up to the Bay Area this weekend to attend Wekfest (import car show) and support our crew Topdown with the S2ki (Honda S2000 owners) forum. So, if you’re there, come say hi!
