1st CHALLENGE

[Product Advertised: The Shoes]

The Photographer [Behind the Scenes]:
This shoot could not have been more difficult and not for the reasons you would not expect. This was a shoot obviously done outside. However outside in this case happened to be on the coast not far off from the beach. For those that dont know Mr. Cressida is terrified of the water. It was windy and freezing and the model couldnt sit still for two moments. Each time a chilled breeze hit he would make a face as if someone pissed in his coffee, which he wouldnt drink to keep warm because it was not tea. The model wanted nothing more than to take the photos and leave. He was stiff and annoyed most of the shoot, and it didnt help that the ocean was in view.

To make matters worse, Mr. Cressida's boyfriend appeared on the scene, who is a good friend of mine due to the constant flow of business his company gives me, however given the task at hand it could not have been more poor timing. To make a long story short an argument insued and the two left, growling at one another as Sakurai (Mr.Cressida's boyfriend) escorted Kit to the trailer. I was thankful. I had a head ache and had to pop a few pills. So we took about 45 minutes or so to reassess ourselves. After those 45 minutes Kit and Sakurai emerged from the trailer, both obviously disheveled. Kit's hair was a mess and his clothing was tousled about. Sakurai was pushing his hair back and lighting up a cigarette. After fixing Kit's make up, hair and clothing- he was MUCH more relaxed! It was a complete 180! He was natural and the water seemed to no longer be on his mind. This is when we got the best performance out of him.

The Interview: "What what the most difficult thing about this shot?"

I was freezing my ass off! It was cold and by the damn water! Umm did you READ my info? Did I NOT make it obvious that I was scared to death of the ocean? No? Let me raise my voice for emphasize- I DONT LIKE THE OCEAN... Anyway... It was harder then I thought. I'm not used to sitting still. Given my... Profession I'm used to being in... Constant motion~.

[A Note from Doll-o3o-Face: This shoot was hard because everyone in San Fransisco stopped to take photos of him and ask me about him and how much he was and if they could take a photo of him (so now a bunch of tourists have photos of my boy xD) - and well I didnt have the heart to say no!! I was very flattered! It made me happy! So yeah it took longer than I thought xD ]
