Marilyn Monroe Shoot

Another Code Red collaboration with Jeff Osman of Carpe Diem Films.  Again with a team of stylists, designers and hair and makeup shot at the Orchard Room, Red Spice restaurant  in Melbourne CBD.  Watch the credits to see everyone who was involved but our main lady was the lively Alia Milanio. Alia is a singer songwriter, performer and Marilyn Monroe impersonator.  Check her web site out for further details.

Again Jeff has outdone himself combining the performing talents of Alia with the amazing styling and backdrop we had to work with.  This project was shot within a day, making the pace of the shoot at times a little stressful. These projects are not possible without a team of dedicated professionals and our thanks go to everyone who was involved with the day. We decided because of the pace of the shoot to do all the stills using constant lighting using multiple banks of fluorescent lighting. This enabled Jeff and I to work together more seamlessly, not having to reset with strobes for the stills, but as always it can prove a little challenging to stop motion under these lighting conditions.  Enjoy the video as well as some of my favourite images from the shoot.
