Big Willie



Such a busy fun summer full of shoot after shoot and a little boating. (What recession?) We had such a great shoot yesterday with Eveaila and of course Big Willie Frankangela H&M (on his knees as usual)and designer Kelly Flynn (not pictured).

The interesting thing about this shoot was that we were not only rained out of our location but the concept was done in about five minutes on the spot. Yes, we came in blind. Now if you know me or anything about the way I work there is always a concept faze that usually happens over a period of two weeks, sometimes a month. Well that didn't happen. Everything had to be done on the fly that day which isn't entirely out of the ordinary. I just like structure when it comes to concepts and photography and even respecting the time and efforts of people I am working with.

Here is my question to all of you? What do you prefer? Wingin it? or storyboards and concepts. How do you work? or is it the combination of the two that brings out the best in you and others you are working with?
