Some say art is what you can create with your mind and put on a canvas, but the human body can be sculpted into a beautiful work of art just by good eating habits, determination, and a regular exercising routine.

PET PEEV PART 1

In over 10 years of photography on location it never ceases to amaze me that how many people are oblivious to the fact that you are working. I don't mind a captive audience when I shoot on location. You get the people who really appreciate the work you and the model are doing. My biggest Pet Peeve is when working on location the people who get in the way of the shoot, the obnoxious fellow or the perverted fellow. The people who just have to be in the shot or even the clueless people who are in the shot and for some reason believe that they are not.  

THE WORKING GUYS.


In this particular shoot the driver in the work truck was going super slow just to get by,  I know your working but why so slow? Have you never seen a girl before? Vanessa and I had already talked about two other people who just showed up to watch and they were basically in the shot. It's like hey buddy can you move a lil further from the model? As a matter of fact can you move further down the beach?


The second guy also working, he had been driving up and down the beach in the location we were shooting earlier just to watch. Well low and behold he's BAAACKK!! Look at him sitting in the back round in his 4 wheeler just parked under the tree like he has some work he is doing there. For about 10 minutes I had the pleasure of waiting patiently for this guy to leave. Finally he got his eye full and decided that he really couldn't see much of the model from behind cause her coat is way too long.




~Grrrrrrr~

PET PEEV PART 2

Don't get me wrong but like I said before I have a tolerance and eventually the limit will be reached and things could go from bad to worse. I really do appreciate a captive audience when I shoot on location. Like I said before its my biggest Pet Peeve is to work on location and the people who pass by just get in the way of the shoot.

THE PASSING BY AUDIENCE.

In this particular shoot it was at the bus stop so I expected some people to be around and walk by, but come on this lady was asking the model her life story. It took at least 5 minutes out of shooting time to get this lady to BEAT IT! Vanessa had to ask her to leave several times cause she was in the middle of a shoot. If I had not been across the street with traffic coming I would have done it myself.
