Saturday was great. I shot an awesome bridal portrait and trash the dress session in New Orleans. This was an all day event between packing, travel, preparation, walking the streets of New Orleans to get to the various locations, and the necessary breaks in shooting for poor Emily to warm up. This girl was a serious trooper. It never got above 50F, the wind was blowing at 15 to 20 mph and she never once complained about being cold despite the fact she was in a halter dress.
I also have to give thanks to my three assistants: Mike Liuzza – a great friend who also happens to be an amazing vocalist and musician from New Orleans; Jarod Normad – a fellow photographer who is doing some pretty cool experimental art photography; and JP Schilling – Mike’s sound man and travel support. With out these guys the shoot would not have gone as smoothly as it did.
And finally I want to give a big thank you to Rick, a street painter in Jackson Square, who painted my human canvas.
