February has been a hive of activitiy in many ways, with models flying in from out of town, events, not to mention fashion week... So it's been a great month to look back on.
This month I've been working on building up the two new jbphoto divisions, BestTest and ReBrand. I think the best way to show the process of the work we do, is as 'Before and After' images....
Best Test
BestTest is our vehicle for changing up, developing or completely starting up a models portfolio. Be it adding to already eclectic book, replacing good poses with more fashionable clothing, taking shots that match the season or just creating fresh, bold new shots for newcomers to the industry.
Corrine Mestemacher is a model and actress from Tennessee, who was in New York this month. The before and after pictures below show her original acting headshot, and a new stylish editorial shot we created on our shoot this month.
It's our goal to inject life and style into promotional materials, and this is a generous example of how we truly 'make over' your appeal, as a model and an actor.
In more "Before and After" news, I'm proud to welcome Lauren Kleiman to our Best Test team as a photo retoucher.
Lauren's work is outstanding, as you can see in these before and after shots.
With Lauren on the team, we've sealed the deal and created the only testing team with services from the styling, the shoot... through to the final edit. And all at low cost!
Another addition to the Best Test team is Danny Dehnert, a styling assistant and make up artist. Danny's eclectic approach to fashion, design and accessorising, gives the work a pungency and "up to the minute" look.
As always, our shoots are co-ordinated by Catherine Shuller, a leading authority on fashion, modeling and style.
With these new developments, it's an exciting time to take advantage of the 'Best Test' available, and as winter moves to spring, when better to update your portfolio...
RE:Brand
Re:Brand has been through seveal metamorphic stages over the past few months, but I'm featuring Joe Faracci on this month's blog - a model and actor, who is developing his own brand so he can launch himself full throttle into the market of fashion and entertainment.
Everything you see is a JBPhoto / RE:Brand original, from the styling (Catherine Schuller) Photography (John Baker) to the editing, retouching and graphics.
We designed the logo from scratch, created graphics and visuals to acompany the photography to create striking, eye catching materials, adaptable for promo materials like post cards, flyers and websites.
JBPhoto
JBPhoto, as ever, is on the front burner. I have various projects I'm working on right now.
My photography was featured this month in an article in Plus Model MagazineIncluding a major shoot project slated form the spring of 2009 featuring mutiple models an actors, called 'The Dinner Party' - more on that next month.
