Camera Adventure 2: #TBT: BTS with LeSigh Vintage

My journey with photography and behind-the-scenes work started a year ago last May when I had the opportunity to be on set with Anoshastar for Le Sigh Vintage clothing. This was actually my first time on a set!! I was pretty nervous and did my best to be quick with set-up and break down (and stay out of the way, lol!). The day started fairly early for me getting gear packed and making sure we had everything we needed. We arrived at Commonwealth (a new speak-easy type bar) in downtown Las Vegas—the interior was gorgeous with dark woods and glittering chandeliers and I was excited to see the fashions of Le Sigh. We met with owners and designer Missy and Greg and I could already sense that today was going to be unlike any other. The models, Tara and Jennie, arrived shortly after, as did Deana (the makeup artist) and we were on our way. Set up was easy with the existing furniture and city-scape so I had a lot of time to be a wallflower and capture all the in-between moments. They day went pretty smoothly (only one moment of panic when we thought it was going to rain!). I had an amazing time watching and learning—like I said, this was a FIRST for me—and the final product came out even better. There really is no way to really describe how incredible it is to be in a room full of such talented artists…and there is really no way to describe how inspired I had become and continue to be. This was just the first….and I can’t wait for more!

Camera Adventure 1: BTS with American Cream [Pt. 2]

Continuing on with my afternoon doing BTS with American Cream, as we waited for the sun to set the guys got to brainstorming on what their next Session would look like. As ideas were tossed back and forth there was a moment of "A-HA!". They decided to shoot a single take, walking acoustic performance of their single "Ladies Man". But, the sun was setting and the sky was perfect. We went upstairs and shot what would become the pieces of their teaser for their video/single "Easy". THE SKY WAS AMAZING...THE SOUND WAS AMAZING...EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!

Next was to get down to business on the Sessions video. I was quite impressed that in a matter of hours these guys had choreographed and practiced a walk around this massive sitting/living room and got it done with ease. To be in a room filled with artists wanting to share their work and bounce ideas off of each other culminating in a collective effort is an amazing process to witness.

Thanks again to American Cream and ohitsanoshastar for letting me document and experience some magic!
