Days at work

About two weeks ago i shot the new cover for LAJV Magazine. This time it was a portrait of Jennifer, who’s a bertender at the Daltons Saloon! Well you just see it don’t you!? Saloon!!! How cool isn’t that! My idea was of course to use the whole western theme in the shot! Some props and clothes was picked up at a second hand place and all the equipment was packed into the car.
I didn’t have the idea super clear in my head but i had been there earlier so i knew where to set the camera and i knew the angle. When i set up everything all the bits fell in place! A dusty saloon where a crazy cowboy gets beaten up by the bartender, in this case our bartender 🙂 It can’t get much more fun!
To get people to let go and do things they normally don’t do like screaming for example (which they do in like 98% of my images 😉 ) is almost impossible to do if you don’t do it with them! How will i be able to convince them to do something you won’t do yourself? Well it was a Kristofer without any voice at all who after a lot of screaming packed his things and went back to the studio!

A big thanks to both Jennifer and of course Kim, who with almost no notice at all came and acted villain in the bar! 🙂
