Birth of the Cool (Mad Men Ed.)
I am addicted to Mad Men. The style, the mood, the story, and the production. It’s my favorite show currently on the air, and Lost is still on the air, so, you could say Mad Men took the crown in a way. It is up there on my all time list with Six Feet Under and a ton of different sitcoms.
My style when it comes to photography right now is drifting into a replication of the style and mood of the show, along with some other tricks I’ve picked up along the way.
As for this shoot, I have to say, it was my most in control shoot I’ve ever had. Chris and I conceptualized the shoot at first, but it was my stylization and composition as well as the constant methodical posing that drove this shoot to me. I was given the control and I took it.
I have to say as well as much as I’ve been shooting alone, I’ve had to force myself to be authoritative and decisive when it comes to the execution of a shoot. I feel like my eye for shots has been developing for sometime, but being able to control a shoot is an important thing for what I plan to do. This shoot allowed me to do this.
Appreciation has to go to Livia too for being a down ass model, and showing up in an hour’s notice.
