The Illustrated Romance

This past weekend was long. Sixteen hours in studio, dressing, costuming, shooting. Sheer chaos but so much fun. I absolutely love big studio shoots. Especially when I have such a fabulous team with me. My usual AD Miss Elena Brown was stuck in London, but I had added a creative director, Melinda Piñon, a few weeks ago because I needed someone to keep closer tabs on the images themselves, and the shot list to make sure we got everything we needed. As much as I love to see my buddy Derek, flying him out for shoots gets pricey, and I would prefer to visit him in California.

So this was the final shoot for the first four of the six serial novels. For those new to the blog: this project is a full illustration of a six part serial novel. The novel will be published as a digital book and iTunes app.

I’m excited to be this close to the end of the most extensive project I have ever undertaken. It has been so much fun though.

Well, an image is in order I suppose…but just a couple outs…none of the ins…not quite yet. 🙂

After two long days of shooting, everyone was exhausted. Derek took naps whenever possible. Even while on "horseback"
