Fashion in Central Park

1 Producer, 1 Stylist, 1 Hair/Makeup, Video Crew, 2 models and 5 Assistants - all making for a perfect Saturday.  I've photographed in NYC many times in the past year, but this was the first "all New York" photo shoot. 
Crew:
Producer: Lindsey Nicholson
Models: Anna-Sophie - Q Management / Chas Bruns - freelance model 
Stylist: Tina Latonero
Hair/Makeup: Yuko Takahashi
Video: Mike Douglas - CuttingRoom
Assistants: Adele Godfrey, Len Mazzone, Kristine Wood, Miguel De Leon, Mike Howard

Tina, Lindsey and I have been working on this project for about seven months.  Having gone through a few revisions, we finally settled on a multi-tiered project incorporating still photography and video.  I didn't want to do the usual "behind-the-scene" footage - in my opinion that has been over done.  So working with Mike from CuttingRoom we shot footage of Chas (playing a photographer) taking photographs of Anna-Sophie (playing a model).  My photographs (below) are the photos he "took" during the shoot.  The video will be finished in a week or so and I will post it here and on YouTube.

It was an amazing day - Great crew, fantastic weather (76 degrees and partly sunny) and a beautiful setting.  Here are some of the images taken during the day.
