Just back from our September shoot, I have to report that it went pretty well. Conflicting schedules made it a bit of a challenge this month (with school starting, our fabulous photographer heading off to Padre for a week, and the deadline-filled existence of both myself and our art director, Laura) to get everyone at one place at one time – but as always, we made it work.
With minimal time to prepare, I am quite pleased with our results. Just to let you in on some inside info… you’d never guess that these pictures were taken in our photographer’s driveway with the backdrop and lights set up just outside her garage! Like Jennifer said though, one of the great Hollywood photographers has a set up just like hers – also in the comfort of his own garage (apparently Billy Bob Thorton, one of his celeb subjects, didn’t mind having his picture taken in the make-shift studio either, just like our cover kids).
It was all boys today at the shoot in the spirit of our main September feature about boys getting the short end of the education stick. Despite the blistering sun beating down on our backs and causing beads of sweat to appear on our foreheads, the boys (Kyle and Silas) were troopers and posed like pros for the camera. Both boys are hoping to win over girls after they see these stylin’ studs on the September covers (from what I hear from Silas’ mom, he apparently already has an entourage of four girls at school that follow his every move – that will probably multiply after his female classmates get a look at this cover!) Both boys did a fabulous job, and I have to thank them for that!
Look for the September issue to find out more about these boys, and the “lost boys” of the education system – you won’t want to miss this one!
