The New Girl

Hello people...
I am the new intern! I am from London and have come over to New York to intern for Jodi Jones! I've been here basically a month now and have only just got around to writing on here!
 I Came to New York last summer to do a course at F.I.T and fell in love with the City , I've been dreaming of a way to get back here for the past year and when I found out Jodi accepted me to intern for her I was ecstatic!
Over the past weeks I have been helping out on photo shoots using Jodi's new toy 'THE HASSLEBLAD'! Last weekend Jodi did 2 beauty shoots , then during the week did a hippy inspired shoot and a shoot for a magazine for their "sex" issue... Its been amazing to see what goes on and never a dull moment in Jodi Jones studio!

Here are a few snap shots taken from the set..

let's play catch up.

Hop on in my time machine because I'm about to gun it 88 and take you guys back to last week up until now.  I need to do some catch up since I haven't blogged lately.  After my "Clearly Fall" fashion shoot post, I had to work the weekend grind of portrait head shots and my lame toy store job.  Its always funny thinking about how one day I am working with high fashion models and the next day I'm working at a toy store in my hometown dealing with screaming children and bitching house wives.  

After the weekend we did the "Peace and Love" shoot.  It was supposed to be outside but due to the shitty weather we did it in the studio.  The stress on set that day was at its max, but we all got through it and Jodi, Colin, Shawn and I went out for Shawn's birthday to the Metro in Brooklyn which was so weird and cool. 

The next day we started preparing for the "Sex" issue shoot which consisted of, building the set.  At first I was intimidated by this task but once I got it going it was a pretty awesome thing to do and complete.  We built the set with 15 to 20 sheers that draped over 2 cross bars to create a dreamy/ sexy look.  I loved the way that and the shoot turned out.  I think the photos looks amazing and hope it will get picked up by someone major to really get some attention.  

This past weekend, my mom took me shopping since she hasn't seen me in a while.  What an awesome day that was since she hooked me up with the boots and maddd other clothes.  

Urban Outfitter Sandstorm boots, they are a lot darker in person rather than the photo.

The funny part was while walking through Macys I saw this giant Sean John advertisement of Parker.  Parker is the male model we worked with on the CD Greene shoot.  Soo crazy to see that though!

Jodi has left today for the Dominican Republic so we're going to be doing some odds and ends work while she is gone.  Ill be at the studio all week and working at my other internship, Ray Brown Pro, as well.  Until then good bye and follow us on Twitter @bitchininterns !!!

We're Back.

Now that Fashion Week is near completely over, we're back in the studio hammering out creative projects since Jodi has just become Hasselblad's featured month photographer.  Hassy hooked us up with a H4D and a bunch of lenses.  Shit is dope.  But now we have 1 month to pound out some real gnarly stuff with this bad boy.  On Thursday, we did a white back drop shoot with one model and 6 different looks.  The whole thing was pretty different but so awesome.  Hands up for Oscar's crazy styling.  Love that guy.

Luca Luca

For some reason this was one of my favorite shows.  I liked all the models natural same style and the clothing.  Some thought it was boring but I like the clean cut look of everything.

Alright location that I dealt with during this show, I really did love the whole thing though, one of the last shows of the official week and it totally mad me pumped.

Christian Siriano

Personally, I thought the show was going to better, the lighting was terrible and my spot was as well.  I tried to get creative and go against the normalcy.  This was shot with my 15mm Fish eye, that lens actually came in prettttyyyy handy this past week.

I'm going to post some of my favorite photos of my fashion week experience so hope you enjoy.

L.A.M.B

Yesterday was the last day of Fashion week and it was crazy. I went around the garment district all day bouncing to and from shows and presentations. My favorite show by far was the last one of the night: Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. collection. The venue was awesome, the models fierce and the clothes to die for. Jodi and I were literally pushed into the pit, where there were so many people and photographers it got out a little out of hand. As I quietly sat on the front row near the left side of the runway, "Totally Cool" Richard, the director of the pit, got into a very heated argument with an asian photographer who accused him of being a racist and several other choice words we won't mention.

I was in the middle of it all kneeling and hoping the fight wouldn't bring attention to me, causing me to get kicked out for not having credentials. If only I had more memory in my card to record it with my Canon 5d mark ii so that I can share video of the tussle with you guys. I guess my story will have to suffice.
And now, for some images of the show and other from my day bouncing around on the last day of fashion week. Hope you enjoy them!!!
