Week 3 - JP Agustin









My second shoot with A-List International, but this time the wardrobe stylist was filming for his reality show called Style Protocol and they did the behind-the-scenes . I wasn't really nervous about it until they started to interview me and I couldn't articulate myself one bit. I doubt they'll use it for the show since I sound like a 14year old stoner saying 'ummm' and 'uhhh' a lot...
anyhow the theme was a spring color block concept. I didn't see the pieces before the shoot, but the creative director told me that he'll be using bright hues and was going for something energetic. I decided to light the crap out of the model with 8 lights. I just finished 2nd term and got access to use all the strobes at art center, so i went buckwild and as I look back, I definitely overlit. I felt that the cyan background contrasted well with all the colors and it seemed to work out well, and the crew was happy with it and I was stoked since I didn't have to change the backdrop for every look. They selected the photos, which I wasnt too stoked on b/c there are better images than the ones they used. They also warmed them up a bit and added too much contrast for my taste. oh well at least it was a cool experience....

Week 2 - JP Agustin

The hottest test shoot I did last weekend (temperature wise). it was a whoppin 112 degrees in Simi Valley. I had to work in high ass afternoon light for a location lighting course. I also wanted to experiment with this situation just in case I have to shoot in this bullshit lighting in the future for a job. Anyhow I always wanted to shoot at a pool so my buddy hooked it up and we shot 11 swimsuit looks. Coming into the shoot, I wanted to go for a soft, natural, and comfortable vibe, but I got bored with that and ended up having the models get all posey and glamorous. Overall it was a decent shoot. Next time I shoot on-location I'm going to wear a sweatband to keep sweat dripping down my eye and stinging the crap out of me.
