Behind the Scenes with Bethany Pifer

Here are some behind the scenes shots of my photoshoot with Bethany Pifer. Our makeup artist was Juelz, and our hair was Jacqueline Gomes. Our prep was at Bethany’s pad, which was pretty cool because she had like 5 cats. Or was it 6? I’m not sure. Oh and a dog too. We drove to Baker Beach, San Francisco for the beach shoot. We thought it was going to be summer-like, but realized it was quite the opposite. I guess you never know what San Francisco weather is going to be like on the day of a shoot.

This just in: Cat steals the show.

Jacqueline is a pro when it comes to hair.

Jacqueline also helped out carrying the warm blanket that kept Bethany out of the cold.

Are you sure you want to get in the water, Bethany?

Giving Bethany that wet hair look.

As with any beach shoot, you get sand everywhere.

I am eagerly awaiting all the swimsuit magazine issues coming out next month. And I can’t wait for it to get warmer to start doing swimsuit shoots again. 
Here are some photos from my swimwear shoots last year. Keep an eye out for my upcoming swimwear shoots this spring!

On a side note, it is one of my goals to become a S.I. Swimsuit or Victoria’s Secret Swimwear photographer. Wish me luck! Practice makes perfect, right?

I love working with model Jessica Benson so much that I invited her again for another shoot within one month from our last shoot. This time we went for the monokini concept. My beloved MUA Sarah Dean was there to do Jessica’s make up again. My photography assistant Mike Polce was there to help and I had additional help from Mike Chua and Sage Tang for lighting assistance.

The Final Shots:

Sailboat Shoot with Dominique Ansari Designs (Swimwear Edition)

This was by far one of the most exciting and fun photoshoots I have ever done. Originally the idea started when Dominique Ansari (the Designer) asked me to do a shoot with her new swimwear line. I immediately thought, why not shoot it on a sailboat? After doing my research, I found the perfect sailboat and captain! Captain Chuck (website) was very accomodating to my photoshoot needs and to my team.

We started the morning at 7am for hair and makeup on dry land.
Here is Julianne doing makeup on Katy.
Becky is attended by Noelle & Sonya (hairstylists) and Zehra (makeup).

It was a mad dash to get the models started before we head to the docks in Sausalito.
We’ve arrived! The styling team working on finishing touches

The shoot commences! Angelica (wardrobe stylist), Noelle, and Dominique keeping a watchful eye on the model I am shooting.
It was not easy shooting on a sailboat. There were choppy waves here and there.

Back at the docks!
Definitely a memorable shoot. The models, hairstylists, makeup artists, photography assistants all did a marvelous job at helping me make the shoot a successful one! Special thanks to Captain Chuck for the wonderful sailboat experience!
