…work series revisited…

About a month ago I did a little work series. I thought it was going to be pretty quite, because summer is notoriously slow for our studio. People can do their photo shoots on location and they don’t really need backdrops, but we got a huge job.
Max Vadukul was the photographer for October’s Interview. The theme was a play on the movie Incredibles, all the ‘incredible’ new actors (not sure why Bon Jovi is there, but that is just me). We painted one like a tunnel, and the other an amorphous image of the symbol.

I love Anne Hathaway. Something about her just is so appealing to me, I think it is her smile. It just seems so real.

You can really see the backdrop in this photo. I love Ziyi Zhang too! (We did some backdrops for a ‘Memoirs of a Geisha’ Vogue shoot - hopefully they will be seen.)

So the second day we worked on the red backdrop.

I am totally loving Kanye. There is so much more to his music that sampling.

We did such a good job on these backdrops considering there was so little time!!

    You seriously have the most interesting job, Wendy. I’m sure you have your tedious days like everyone else, but not nearly as many. :) (I love Kanye, too.)
