Modeling and Behind the Scenes for Beverly Hills Art Gallery Exhibit

In November of last year I did a photo shoot for a Beverly Hills art gallery exhibit. The theme was LA Samurai. In all straightforward-ness I usually do sports or action shoots. Sometimes I do commercial print shoots or editorial shoots, but never anything for an art gallery.

The style was very “high-fashion” and at some points it really reminded me of derelict from Zoolander.  We were turning all types of fabric and material into fashion. Fortunately I was in good hands. We shot at the beautiful studio of Gen Anderson and I was styled by the masterful Eugene Conde (www.eugeneconde.com).

I met the lovely model Ivy Teves who is also a WPT Royal Flush Girl. Here’s us doing blue steel. haha! She was cool and a good sport for helping me take a bunch of behind the scenes photos.

Photography and the whole shoot was produced by Robert Wilde (www.robertwildephoto.com). I was skeptical of the shoot at first because Robert reached out to me seemingly out of the blue, but I’m glad I agreed to the shoot because it turned out great. He had a very professional set up, attitude, wardrobe, stylist, everything… and the day of shooting was very fun.

And here’s hows the photos came out.

And this last photo is what was ultimately displayed at the art gallery exhibit.
