Field Trip with Kori Rae

[jimmyd]

We took a little photo-field trip with Kori Rae today... We being Kori, Rick (GG's DBA1), and myself. Our destination? El Mirage, California.

Rick showed up at 9:00 A.M. in his spiffy, crew-cab, dualie and we loaded up the equipment. A bit later, Kori showed up looking her beautiful self. By 10:30 or so we were on our way to El Mirage.

El Mirage is near Victorville, California, about 75 miles Northeast of my studio, in California's sweltering Antelope Valley. El Mirage is known for its dry lake bed: A sort-of mini-Bonneville Salt Flat. Rick had been out there many times as he's also a land/speed racer. I hadn't been out there in quite awhile since that time in my life when I used to work for an aerospace company that had me hanging out of chase planes with a camera shooting their latest remotely piloted air vehicles. This was Kori's first time to El Mirage.

Okay, I'm not going to write a travelogue. It was a great day spent shooting a beautiful and user-friendly model... what more can any of us ask for? Plus, this was great therapy for me: Until today, I hadn't gotten out of my studio to shoot anything outdoors for months and months.

Here's a few images that caught my eye. I've got plenty to go through as does Rick. I'll be posting more and I know Rick will post soon as well. Just thought I'd put a few up before going home, showering the desert dust and sand off my tired-ass body, and crawling into bed.

Jimmy,

Wow, your images outside the studio are just as amazing as the images you create inside you studio.

Thanks for sharing.

Can I come on one of your field trips if I get a permission slip from my mother? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It was an awesome day, really hot but so worth it. I have never worked with two photograpers at the same time that was very cool and both really fun to work with [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Jimmy,

I guess it would've helped if I had gone throught the forum a little more to get some answers to some of my previous questions . . . just wanted to say, beautiful work as always and Kori is stunning as well [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] You headed out in the morning, but what time did you guys actually shoot ?

we didnt' really start shooting till after 2:00 PM but the light was still way too overhead even though we were using scrims and foamcore and such to modify and redirect it... plus it was hotter than hell. we stayed till dark and the best stuff was probly shot from 4:00 or so till dusk.

Beautiful stuff Jimmy! Thanks again to you and Kori! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] I had an awesome day and learned a bunch. You always say it's all about the light. One thing I learned about out door shooting. Not only is it all about the light, it's knowing where you want it, and where you don't.

And Kori, the first "real" model I've had the pleasure to work with. Thanks for the awesome experence of working with such a talented model. Anyone who will trample through the desert in that kind of heat and even keep cool when the guys from Deleverence showed up [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] You are a true Pro! Can't wait to work with you again! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I will post some stuff soon!
