Kerri Taylor is a very beautiful and talented model. I first saw Kerri last December in New Jersey during a one day photo workshop. I booked a half-hour private photo session at the end of the workshop and shot with her in an unfinished room of the studio, the one that was still unoccupied. Kerri modeled beautifully for me during the half hour shoot and I was so convinced that I need more time to shoot with her. So, I arranged with her to come to my studio in Long Island City for a four and half hours of shoot six weeks later.
The shoot took place on February 19, 2012 and I six week period give me ample time to think about several concepts for the shoot. The photos shown above were all taken during the February shoot. I provided hairstylist for the shoot, the talented Aleetha Clanton who she and I discussed the hairstyles which will be using in the shoot ahead of time. Aleetha also saved the day for me as my makeup artist did not show up for the shoot, and almost ruined day for the second time in a row, and she was able to contact one of her friends, Elias Gutierrez, who is a makeup artist and arrange for him to come to the shoot on a short notice. The makeup artist who did not show up for the shoot did this before, but claimed that she had a car accident before the shoot and could not come to the shoot and could not call me from the hospital. This time she had no excuse whatsoever, so if you read this and would like to know who she is just shoot me a message. This disappointment forced me to take matters into my own hands and vowed to not let this happen again. Accordingly, I signed up for a course in a professional makeup art school and will complete my training by the end of April 2012. This should give me a peace of mind as I will be my own backup plan in the future.
At any rate, Kerri came to the shoot with two bags full of fetish and other outfits that would have provided additional fabulous looks on her. However, I already had my plans for the shoot and was aiming at producing three to four looks during the shoot. Some of the looks involved artistic nude shots which you can see some of them in my NYC_Man Photography portfolio on Model Mayhem.
Kerri was brought so much energy and fun to the shoot. She was so much into every aspect of the shoot with very positive contributions. She is funny, conversable, easy to work with, comfortable with her body and looks, and highly professional in the way she conducted herself.
We all had a blast that day and we hope to do more shoot with Kerri in the summer.
