Photoshoot: Urban Inspired

Hello ladies and gents~

I do apologize for the long hiatus.  My boyfriend was visiting from Quebec.  It's a long way from California so we don't tend to see each other very often.  Needless to say, I spent the majority of my time with him.  I hope you are all having a fabulous summer so far, and are enjoying it in happiness and good health.  For those of you in IMATS right now, I am extremely jealous of you.

I did some hair and makeup for a photoshoot a couple weeks ago.  I was told that the theme was urban, and the shoot would take place at an abandoned navy base.  The photographer and models do these kinds of shoots regularly for fun.  I am the only one who is looking for pictures to add to my portfolio, and had personally asked if I could join them on their adventures.  In this sense, I am a bit of the person who tags along in this group, and generally don't have much control of the setting or outfits.  I didn't join everyone on the actual shoot, so this was ever so slightly frustrating when they were turned away by a security guard at the base and decided to take pictures amongst nature.  Not exactly what I had in mind, as you will soon see from the type of makeup and hair I did.  I did manage to pick out a few that I liked, though.

There was one main photographer (Andrew Chin), but his assistant (Patrick Sing) was taking shots here and there too.  Let me know which ones you like.

A rare bit of attitude coming from Alicia.

All rightey that's all I have for now.  In the process of posting this blog, my charger for my laptop decided to act up and I had to do battle with it.  It's barely working for now but hopefully I can get another post or two in before it dies/my new charger arrives.

Have a good weekend, everyone!
