Nina Bradlin Photoshoot with Alex
This past weekend a few members of PhotoWalk:Michigan accompanied Alex Alexander on his shoot with international singer Nina Bradlin. We were able to see Alex work first hand and take notes on how to direct and model and shoot them.
The shoot took a little longer to prepare as the time kept getting pushed back. There were little difficulties with waiting on the makeup artist. Once they arrived, The crew met them at the River walk Downtown Detroit between the nature preserve and Chene Park. From there we all met Nina and Alex on top of the hill. From there, some of us assisted Alex with what ever he needed help with to get the shot. After about 20 minutes or so we changed locations to just up the street to an abandon business building with graffiti on it. The spot was a heavy traffic location, cars and people were in consent rotation. Alex was able to get the shots we was looking for, and after he was finish we allowed us to take a few shots of our own. There was a bit of confusion as there was a third location that concluded near the Tigers stadium.
I was able to few behind the scene shots (BTS) from the shoot itself that shows Alex at work. This Wednesday (8-5-15) Nina will be performing at the Motor City Wine and some of us will be there to show our support.
“There are things which nobody would see unless I photographed them.”
“I see little of more importance to the future of our country and of civilization than full recognition of the place of the artist. If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.”
