Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. We completed our shoot on Friday for my new Bette Machete merch that will be coming soon!
Originally, I scouted a few different locations for the shoot so that we had some variety to work with. Well, if you’ve been a Patron for a while, then you know very well that things don’t always go as planned haha.
I got ready Friday morning and everything was good to go. All my different garments were hung up in the back of our car and we were on our way. Something challenging that comes with shooting outdoors is the weather. We’ve completed quite a few shoots in some pretty shitty conditions, but always make it work!
This Friday wasn’t terrible, but I was not expecting a sunny and windy day. If you’re a photographer, you’ll know that shooting in direct sunlight isn’t the greatest. As for the locations I scouted? They were all in direct sunlight on what was supposed to be a cloudy day. We quickly found a few other places to go and worked with what we had!
PSA: do not wear lipgloss to an outdoor shoot on a windy day haha! A mess.
Even though the shoot didn’t go as planned, and we weren’t able to use the places I found (for now), I still love what we created and look forward to showing you all the photos.
I still don’t have an exact launch date in mind, as I am currently waiting on one final merch sample, but I will let you know ASAP! For now, enjoy this photo of me sipping on a Faygo while Brendan adjusted the settings on his camera.
Thank you so much for the love you showed my new work on Friday! I look forward to sharing more with you soon.
Much love!
Angelica
