Rachel Grant -

April 28, 2010

When Rachel Grant, (best known for her role as Bond girl “Peaceful Fountains Of Desire” in “Die Another Day”) flew into town for a photography session with me six weeks ago, I knew this was going to be something special. I also knew that if we made it through the unbelievably aggressive shot list for the day, it would be a miracle. Well miracles do happen, and not only did we complete everything we needed to, we had an absolute blast in the process.

Having three completely different projects to complete was a challenge, but looking at these sample shots below, you see how a true model gets it done. The days work included a cover and feature shots for “Inside Kung-Fu Magazine”, promotional photographs for a new “Ripley’s Believe-It-Or-Not” project, as well as beauty shots for Human Nature, a great new skin and hair care product line out of the Philippines that has secured Rachel as the face for their line.

I have to give a huge shout-out to Chad Netherland who co-ordinated the entire shoot in addition to building the photography set, Stylist Lindsey Netherland, as well as hair stylist Ashley Cannon, and make-up artist Mary Chestnut.

Returning to Hilton Head Island a month after our spring catalog shoot, these lifestyle/fashion shots for BJ’s Wholesale Club can now be seen in their March Journal……which means they can also now be seen on my blog! With an entire day devoted to creating each image, every minute was needed to build the 20 foot platform, fake pool deck, and find the ideal weathered pickup truck, as well as the dozens of other props and details. Once again I owe a huge thanks to the great crew that was assembled to make this all happen and run smoothly…..
