Behind the Scenes with Brendan Norman and Hector Vargas

Yesterday I did a photo shoot with FORD Model Brendan Norman and stylist Hector Vargas. I also invited my photographer friend Melissa de Mata along as well. We did our shoot around the Russian Hill/Nob Hill area on a beautiful summer day (on a Feb? why not!) in San Francisco. 
Here are the behind the scenes from our shoot.
Melissa was a very awesome assistant. Whose assistant? Brendan’s of course. 
Hector was more than a stylist. He made touch ups of Brendan’s makeup and hair.

Shoot, interrupted. This cute dog decided to pee near Brendan.

A good stylist always pays attention and makes sure everything looks great.
Does this look like the Havana to you? It should. Because it is.

My models have a habit of still posing despite it being a behind the scene shoot.
And that’s a wrap. 

And here’s a teaser!

Brendan Norman

This was a shoot I did with Brendan Norman two weekends ago. We did this before our Closer-inspired photoshoot, with the help of Michael Polce as my photography assistant. Russian Hill had several great spots for shooting. Brendan is signed with FORD Models, SF.
