Hurrican Preparedness Kit - A Mustache?

The hurricane is coming! Just finished a big shoot today, but canceled 2 for this weekend. Hopefully, the storm will pass peacefully without lots of damage, and we can be back in the studio Monday. Be safe!!

So I am getting my hurricane preparedness kit together. Do I include the mustache?

Check the Red Cross website for real facts on getting prepared! Here is their post specifically on what you need for Hurricane Irene.

Thanks!

Red Daisy Featured In WWD Today!!

Here is my new Red Bubbles series. I wasn't quite ready to post yet as we just shot last week, but I got a few done especially for today's WWD (Women's Wear Daily). It ran in both the print version and online with a wonderful article by Karyn Monget. I included both below. I just photographed the series for a new luxury sports bra company, Red Daisy. Their website is launching in September and online sales will be available. Sport bras will start at $68 with $5 of every purchase going The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

First shot from Behind the scenes of Melanie Iglesias Part 2!

Here is the first photo of Melanie Iglesias behind the scenes on the Flip Book Part 2 (#FlipBookPart2). She is absolutely adorable. Zero retouching. You can see I took a camera phone shot of the back of my camera. The photo is her in the makeup mirror with some of my studio in the background....as well as my arm.

She also tweeted a shot from this scene taken like 2 seconds after this. So make sure you check out her twitter: http://twitter.com/MelanieIglesias and for lots of hot photos try her Facebook Fan Page.

For you crazy photo nerds like myself. I shot this on my Canon 1Ds MarkIII with a 24-70mm lens. You can see the exposure listed on the back of the camera 1/160 at F3.2. I think I was zoomed in at 70mm and had ISO 1600.

Here is a link to the first Melanie Iglesias Flip Book video!
