Danny Nappi is a local fashion designer who makes some great clothes. Great materials, great fit, and the best damn logo ever. This week we took a crew of models and did a mini fashion shoot in Little Cottonwood Canyon. We’re planning to do it again, soon. Watch this space.

Models: Jessy, Jake, Paul, and BriAnn.
Stylist: Lauren
Fashion: Danny Nappi

A sexy test shoot with first time model, Connie. She posed in lingerie (bra and panties), and a bikini. My intern Ruth was there with us. I find that having somebody else present at a first time shoot with a new model is very helpful. One of the most important things about model photography is getting good expressions from the model. Having somebody else around helps put models at ease.

For the photographers following along, here’s the equipment I used. Pretty standard for my beauty and fashion work:

• Nikon D80
• Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D – my favorite lens for portraits
• 2 SB-600 Speedlights mounted to stands and triggered via CLS
• Manfrotto boom stand with umbrella elbow and a 32″ bounce umbrella
• 72″ oval reflector, mounted to a stand with a superclamp and an umbrella elbow to mount an SB-600 for bouncing

More test shooting for the House of Sick Calendar project. Need to select two more models. Models, no worries if you didn’t get a chance to test for this one – I’ll be doing a bunch more calendar projects. View Gallery.
