Who remembers back in October when we had the casting for pretty ladies to play zombies? Me!! Well, you know, two months later, look at these super hot zombies! And in all honesty, I was scared to tackle the zombie project but in the end I am happy with the outcome and the fact that all the shoots were so much fun, makes it even better. So, being that Saturday December 3, 2011 is the Zom-B-Q, I think its fitting to ponder back to the zombie project and revisit the hilarity that ensued. I was originally approached to do this solely as an editing project that turned into shooting four sessions in one day, in the most wonderful weather and surroundings! But, all my models were such amazing troopers! I had to arm myself with two assistants on each shoot, which is odd, being most the times I shoot solo. So, in order of appearance here we go.....
Michelle was a client of mine and had first came into the Unobstructed Studios family when she entered her daughter into the cutest kid contest, and her daughter totally gets her looks from her mom as we all know, Michelle is a hottie. And she is a natural in front of the camera! She was the first to shoot with me for the zombie project and I think we were all nervous to see how everything would go, and Michelle was so much fun! She really had a good time and got into the zombie part. We shot at the old box seats building on the westside on a very overcast and windy day. All in all this shoot went amazingly well. If only the weather would have stood up to the rest of the day because the bottom kind of dropped out on the second one. Which was pretty much right across the street from the first one and in less than one hour it was monsoon like conditions. But, when working with a theme such as zombies, its okay to have bad weather sometimes. It just makes for a wet photographer and a wet model and two wet assistants. So much so that by the time the third shoot rolled around, I could not even wear my shoes anymore because they were soaked! Jennifer was the second model and she and I have been trying to set up a shoot with her for awhile and ironically the last time we were supposed to meet it was also cold and pouring down rain. We met at Carrols Meat Shoppe that is literally across the street from the first shoot and while waiting for her to get there the wind started to pick up more and more if that was even possible but none the less, we had to get the shots done that day. And about 7 minutes after she got there it started to pour down rain like a dang hurricane!
We tried to work with the weather being that it was a zombie shoot and all but, eventually it was just way too cold and the rain was more sideways than anything else. We had to keep stopping and hiding up the smallest overhang ever. Which was making us late for our next shoot, so much so that Kelly, the last model of the day had to meet us at the second shoot location. These girls are nothing but troopers I have to say.
Kellys shoot was at the laundromat. And everyone knows how exciting this makes me because I have been dying to shoot at a laundromat. So, we did it! In true murphies law fashion, the place was supposed to be open 24 hours and it was not, so we had to shoot very very fast to get everything done. The people that own the place were very nice and friendly but they would not let us climb on top of the dryers like I very much wanted to. Kelly is a very unassuming zombie, she is blonde and happy and had a hard time not smiling. But just the same her shots came out great too! All these ladies did a fabulous job and I cannot wait to work with them all again!
