Today I kicked off September with my second ever solo photo shoot with the talented model Anoush Anou. We spent a full day shooting at a variety of spots around San Francisco. We started at a loft apartment where she was staying in the SOMA area, then moved to some outdoor locations. We were planning on going to the Japanese Tea Garden, but it looked super crowed (I don’t know if it’s a typical weekend or because of Labor Day weekend), then we headed over to the Palace of Fine Arts. Despite being quite crowded we were able to get some nice shots. Finally, we headed down to Lands End to finish up the day’s shooting.
This is the fourth time I’ve had the pleasure of shooting with Anoush, twice before on UT Adventure tours, and once on a workshop in KauaŹ»i. She is always great to work with, and today she was extremely generous with her time as my 8 hour day stretched to nearly 12 hours of her time. We had the luxury of taking things at a relaxed pace, and took a break mid-day for some lunch. We had great weather, and we were able to see the bridge nicely (as compared to the day of my scouting trip when everything was fogged in all day). This was a very fun and satisfying day that left me fully exhausted at the end. I got some really nice images. I’m looking forward to trying this again.
