Enjoyed shooting this with @skyyebrielle …her personality and energy on set were magical!
Finally got to link with @christopherjamarpayne too who smoked wardrobe effortlessly …. Looking forward to building with you my brotha!
And the hair and makeup magician that is @ibadiah_ <~ I honestly don’t know very many talents that do both makeup and hairstyling at a high level!
There were a few different lighting setups through the shoot as I used this as an opportunity to explore some ideas… the primary setup was a @profoto bouncing off a 12by that was off to the side of the set by about 15’-20’ …. I’ll have a breakdown on YouTube next week for my lighting heads!

I know everyone can just “AI” the information, but lets do a thought exercise. Productions in many ways are changing, and im curious where your numbers would land for something like this.
Each year, I like to offer mini sessions for models looking to build their portfolios while also helping me discover new talent for future shoots. If you’re an aspiring model or just need some updated digi’s, type “model” in the comments, and I’ll send you the details.
Type “template” in the comments and I’ll send you a link.
Production books typically go hand in hand with more involved shoots like commercial shoots, but smaller productions may have a call sheet with maybe a moodboard and shot list. It mainly is just a document to keep everyone on the same page. Depending on how big the production is, the production book is like a collectors item lol, maybe that’s just me, but I’ve kept a copy of every production booklet I’ve had from every major production I’ve done. I even have the ones where I was a PA on someone else’s set. There’s no wrong way to create one, as long as it does its job.
If you read this far you may like to know I created a digital production book template you can purchase. I hated starting from scratch and not really knowing how to lay it out, and what to include but now I’ve got a standard approach to all of them.
Here is some pro level equipment that you should rent or buy asap! The arms that come with the C-stands can get a lot done, but this is in a league of its own.
*They didn’t pay me for this, although I wish they did.
