A few weeks ago I had the incredible priviledge of assisting the wonderful
Amy Genao on a shoot. I came across Amy's blog through another photographers website. I checked it out and instantly loved her outgoing personality as well as her images. So, in a non-stalkerish kind of way, I hit her up on Facebook and expressed how I admired her work...lol. She graciously accepted my friend request and gladly didn't think of me as a stalker. As a new photographer trying to get my feet wet in such a competetive industry, I am all about learning everything and anything there is to learn about my craft so you can imagine my excitement when Amy, an established photographer, wrote me asking if I would be willing to assist her on a shoot :-) I am not gonna lie, the first thing I did was call "J" and say "OMG!! Amy asked me to assist her!!!" He was like "ok, who is that?" and I said "Hello, oh it's only the one photographer whose blog I have been reading all week, come on babe." Haha, yeah, he is quite the enthusiast...lol! Anyways, I was super excited to say the least.
We met up with Svenja, the model, in the West Village and the shoot went off without a hitch! Here are a few shots that I took on that day.
Thank you Amy for the opportunity to assist you. I had a wonderful time!
And thank you Svenja for being such a beautiful model :-)
Happy Wednesday!
