Ok. So for those of you who don't know, in the beginning of February I was in this photo shoot organized by some friends of mine. The head orchestrators were Christina Shaffell and Rachel Feilds, who, between the two of them, hatched the idea of a promotional shoot for a fictional band. As it was presented to me originally, the idea was a wild one, possessing a wide range of inspirations from 18th-century haute couture, to '60s Jazz, to French poetry... and to be frank, at that point much was left to my imagination. But over the course of a few months these girls combined their considerable talents with those of some other cool kids, and eventually succeeded in making this fantastic art shoot happen.
Here's a brief rundown of the various contributions that were made, and also the people who made them: Christina Shaffell took some gorgeous pictures, Rachel Fields designed and put together some kick-ass threads, my cuz Cory Kimbro and her friend Willie Dickey handled the hair, Rose Archuleta painted faces, Erin Berkenkamp took care of the production stills and set design, while the artiste Travis Tarbox painted a lovely sea-scape backdrop. In addition to all that, Tim Thielen and Jacob Villanueva joined forces to produce a couple of films documenting the whole thing. Furthermore, those lending their beautiful bodies as models were (ah hem) myself, Willie Dickey, Travis Tarbox, Aaron Calhoun, and the lovely Alaina Chambers.
But that's not the end of it. On February 27, the girls managed to organize a huge opening event at the US Art Authority, in which both the pictures and video were displayed to the sound of live music by the Finn Brothers and the Crooks.
If you're curious, check out the shoot website to see the pictures and videos, and also pay homage to Christina at her blog. As soon as the pics are available in a form I can steal for my own commercial purposes I'll post a few here, but until then, check out the site. It is ALL really cool.
