Photographing Elliana | by Jeff Slater

I've been sitting on this concept for about a year now.  I wanted to tell a story of a photographer who is infatuated with his model to the point that he wants more from her than just photographs.  Matt and I shot the photo above before we started shooting for real.  Neither of us had any idea it would actually fit with the concept.

Matt, a model I met and photographed for Ford earlier this year wanted to shoot with Elliana and once I saw her I knew the two of them would be perfect for what I wanted.

The makeup artist flaked on us and she had to do her own makeup and hair.

Runaway | by Jeff Slater

Runaway didn't start out as the concept.  This was supposed to be a Guess-type ad with two teenagers. 

We started really really late and then Nicole was in Makeup forever it seemed.  We had about an hour of daylight to get this shoot done.  I had to crank up the ISO just to get good lighting.  It was a great effect though and I'm glad I was forced to do it.

The models are James Clippinger of City Model Management in San Francisco (yes he is twin brother to Allen) and Nicole Duminie an up and coming model from Nevada.

 

Once I started editing I saw the Runaway storyline.  They were both really professional and we got everything we needed in a very short time!

Thanks to Kayla Arielle for providing the wonderful makeup and hair!
