Photography · Production Oversight · Lighting Direction · Team Coordination

Responsibilities included overseeing pre-production planning, managing production assistants, organizing scheduling and shot structure, and directing lighting and on-set technical elements.

Idea

This shoot is about what happens once the night takes over. The energy is messy, sweaty, and raw. Clothes aren’t perfect anymore, makeup is smudged, but the vibe is alive. It’s about staying in the moment long after you should have left,  giving in fully to chaos and fun. Focusing on capturing the energy of the main models as well as background throughout the shoot.

Photo Creative Pitch

I approach projects with an eye for movement and synergy, creating images that feel alive. For Phase 2, my focus will be on moving frames and group shots that capture both the connection and rhythm between models. Beyond the physical, I want to create emotional visuals that emphasize attachment and resonance. By using high-saturation tones to amplify energy, and guiding models to interact not only with each other but also directly with the camera and videographer, I aim to immerse the viewer—making them feel as if they are in the scene, participating in the moment. This interplay between stills and motion ensures the work embodies both boldness and dynamic storytelling.

Pre-Production & Operations

Budget Strategy

With a budget of just $75, allocation of the full amount was toward securing a studio location that all production needs — styling, lighting, props, and atmosphere.

Model Coordination

  • Cast 12 models with a mix of new and familiar talent.

  • Established a clear shot list to highlight the 3 main talents.

  • Created a call schedule that kept the day flowing and ensured no downtime.
