Peacock

Last weekend, I had the good fortune to do a "play-date" type shoot with a local model/actress named Justine Peacock. You can see her in action as a cast member of the webisode "The Upstairs Girls." Or, if you'd rather, you can catch her at Millie's in Silverlake, where she works as a waitress.

That's actually where I met her. She had such a neat look that I waltzed up to her after brunch and offered to take some pictures of her. She was into it and we got together last Saturday to shoot in and around the martian landscape at the intersection of Topanga Canyon Blvd. and the 118 Freeway. It was a lot of fun being able to direct someone more intensely and get the looks I wanted.

Here's a candid shot of Justine genuinely laughing after a silly pose.

Here's a shot of her looking awesome with a large bamboo stick.

Here's the closing scene to our tragic backstory movie. The heroine has been through a lot and lost the the man she loved. It's the denouement; we know she's going to be all right, but she's staring out at the sunset and remembering.

This is just a portrait that I loved. The lighting is fantastic.

She was really happy with the results of this shoot, so I think we're both looking forward to a follow-up featuring "Prince Boots" and a mint green guitar!
