Photoshoot

I Finally recieved my computer back from the apple store, 10 days after drop off. Currently I am sitting in the store just using up my time to take a minute and discuss some stuff that occurred recently.

Last tuesday I had the pleasure of making a fool of myself for Tina Parol, in a recording studio, being an idiot and yelling some words. It was fun, probably something I will never really do again, be in a recording studio again, that is unless Sophie gets on the ball and does what she should be doing.

Then thursday, Tina Parol had her album cover shoot, unfortunately they preferred i did not take any pictures. But I did manage to take a low resolution picture from my camera, I thought the low resolution was appropriate to the idea that Tina is going to be a big deal. 


I took the liberty of trying to zoom in on Tina's face. However I do not think I am breaking any rules, as this photo does not reveal anything about Tina's album cover. Especially that her entire 12 hour shoot covered many themes, scenarios and outfit changes. Lucky for her, she got to keep a lot of pretty sick clothes. The photographer Joseph Cultice was amazing.

I got to talk to him, he told me "the money is in advertising, stick with it" I think he was referring to photography in advertising. Either way it was a really insightful day. His assistants were on point and the entire process was very inspiring, down to the stylists, set design crew, art director, Tina's management and most of all Tina herself. Talk about composure, I am sure she must have been exhausted but she kept 100% energy the entire time without a complaint. This photo shoot is set to represent Tina for a while and it will represent her well. I only got a preview of the entire day while Joseph was skimming through to show Tina's manager. But what I did see (3 sets) were amazing. Congratulations Tina.
