Here are some outtakes from the making of the first "pie", Pie magazine premire issue. The web blog machine will not let me upload more then five, but there are many many more. These are my "fave 5". Enjoy.
This was actually the very first watch shot out of the whole set, as soon as I saw the dude and the stache, this was my first idea but it had to be toned down for our target market. we didn't want to scare anyone away with the first issue, "bunch of pervs those people over at Pie Magazine they are......." people would say. It might/might not show up in an artshow all cropped and different looking in the near future, who knows?
This was one of the outakes from the "gossip guys" fashion editorial shoot. Obviously not an intentional photo but we were shooting till like 1030 at night and this was the second last shot of the evening and everyone was getting tired and wanting to finish up. Sometimes when your that tired you do silly things and this was one of those moments captured. Oh and just so you know that girl in the shot is our olympic contender for figure skating and the dude is the genius behind Barrielicous(a festival of foods, where people only pay $20.09 to eat at fancy restaurants such as Oscars and other upscale places, it runs throughout the month of july).
So the"Gossip Guys" article was shot at a beautiful mansion owned by restauranteur Mark Porter. This is where one of the shots took place, you can see Steve Locke's set up and kinda get the vastness of the three tiered back lawn that faces Kempenfelt Bay, the property is absolutely amazing. Probably one of the pimpest places I have ever had the luck to go to, Go there if they invite you over!
So they did a story about Ryan aka Mr Barrielicious and why he was on the cover. This was the editorial shot for that story, I kinda wanted a silly but seriously looking portrait. While setting up and getting the lighting right, Ryan was joking around and gave me this "bottle dick" pose and it was perfect! the actual shot is a little more refined but this is where I got the pose from. Plus I was still bitter about not being able to run my tounge and cheek sexuality of the mustache watch shot, the world works in weird ways and I got what I wanted. stoked!
This is post champaigne explosion celebration that made the cover. The room was drenched with booze, the lights were safe and the shot was made. It was also like 1130 at night and I still had post to do on it( finished at 3:30am). But no matter how tired we were, the shoot went super well and everyone was stoked.
Pick up a copy of the mag today, lots of hardwork went into it and there is so many talented folks involved in its production, well worth the 5.95. Aren't smokes twice that much these days?
