Portrait Shoot with RevDr Jamillah Mantilla

Another fun filled week at the studio.  We shot with RevDr Jamillah Mantilla, She is an amazing person and also very well know in the christian world.  She is not only associated with one of the mega churches of America, Faith Fellowship church in Sayreville NJ. She educates people about business and ethics and right practices. She loves my work and we have shot before, It always feel good when you have returning clients. We have been going over the shoot ideas and concepts and worked out some fun images for her. The whole idea revolved around the new face of business. So with out much ado I will share the images with you.  I thought i should share some fun shots too my assistant testing light he has to wear different hats in the studio.

Vivica A Fox Commercial hair shoot's Behind the scenes

First day of our three day shoot ended shoot ended today with some great images in hand.   Mood board consisted of 10 different looks out of which we have shot 7 looks.
We started with the sports look where I shot a boxing look and also a treadmill run shot.
The second look was like out of the bed look with coffee by her window side, I love this look as I shot it in all natural available light with some reflectors.
The third look we shot was behind the shoot, getting ready look.
fourth look was shot to make it look like a still from her movie shooting. This will be completed later in post.
I had to create a very cinematic lighting effect. fifth look was a beach stroll with resort wear.
Sixth look was nice where she is wearing a short skirt and shirt  she is out in the mall on a shopping spree.  This look will completed in post also.
seventh look was glammed up party look.
I thought to share some behind the scenes images with all of you.  Oh I forgot to tell you the best part that my team including myself prepared a cool dance step which we did as a welcome back to Vivica Fox, I love the fact that we have such an amazing team and light atmosphere in my studio. I am simply thankful and feel blessed to be able to do what I like to do, it was never that easy to live your dream.
