MXPX | Alternative Press | 04.09.00
This was my second shoot for Alternative Press and a good one!Β It was a fashion shoot with the awesome band MXPX.Β I booked a fancy house in Hollywood.Β Booked a great stylist and got busy.Β The house was amazing inside and out.Β The band was cool with the ideas and let me do my thing.Β I took full advantage of the location.Β We shot inside and outside. Β
At this time in my life I was trying all sorts of new cameras and film.Β I was searching for something different from what I had been doing.Β I bought two Fuji G645βs and only used those for this shoot.Β They were basically point & shoot cameras that shot on 120 film.Β They even had a little pop-up flash.Β I loved them for a short time, but eventually gave them away.
I shot a shit ton of film for this shoot.Β I thought I best cover the outfits and get more than they needed.Β Since they didnβt really didnβt pay anything I had to do my best with what I got.Β The one thing about editorial shootsβ¦ they donβt pay well, but in exchange you get creative freedom.
