What I love about doing headshot sessions or photo shoots with people is that you never know how open and fun a person is, no matter what you think or how much you know of them, until the photo shoot begins. My photo session with reality star Laurel Stucky is an example of what I am talking about.
A week before the shoot Laurel, who was a runner up on The Challenge: Rivals, came by Ene Salon to meet me while Aisha (hair & make up) and I were choosing photos from a previous photo session. When she entered the salon she had dark brown hair, a white tee shirt with sweats and appeared to be a regular young lady who hung out in the village. We said a few words, showed her a few ideas that we had and then Laurel left. |
When I saw Laurel again 7 days later I didn't even recognize her. It was as if the woman I had met a week earlier was a stand in replacement who didn't do Laurel justice. She was blonde, talkative, wide awake (for early Monday morning standards) and a true fun and open person who went with our choreographed flow.
We had Laurel hailing cabs, walking out of other people's buildings, sitting on random bikes and hanging off of street signs. Each time we put her in a different scenario Laurel did it without hesitation and always with a fun and curious smile. She is a very in the moment centered young lady who started out my Monday morning on a great note.
Which photo of Laurel Stucky do you like best?
Tell me your thoughts.
Until Tomorrow,
Jai
