Abandoned Subway Model Shoot...

What an incredible location! The abandoned subway in Rochester, NY in use from 1927-1956. This place was amazing and a little creepy too. So much graffiti by some very talented artists. It was just everywhere. A really unique place for a model shoot. Have to thank models Becky and Jenn for braving the spiders and other creepy crawlies. And Kim (http://www.bigpawphoto.com/) for suggesting the location and shooting with me. It's always more fun when you have a photographer friend to shoot with.

After jumping over a guardrail (and ignoring the "no trespassing" signs), we made our way down the hill to the abandoned subway. We didn't venture too far into the dark parts of the subway but found a lot of great places to shoot inside. We even had some company and our very own body guards. Met some of the roadies from Keith Urban and Taylor Swift. They were exploring (in town for the concert) and hung out with us for a while. Even carried some of our gear for us. They actually heard from their friends there were some "hot" models down in the subway and came to check them out. Thanks guys. You were super nice and very helpful

And a special congrats to Jenn for getting signed with AMS Models & Talent and booking her first job already!!! You go girl.

CNY Model Shootout - Al's Wine and Whiskey Lounge...

All I can say is "Wow", had a blast shooting with the CNY Model Meetup group at Al's Wine and Whiskey Lounge. What a talented, friendly group of photographers, models and makeup artists. This was my first group shoot and the location was perfect. So much atmosphere. I look forward to many more group photo shoots and some lasting friendships.
