Lady of the Night

This is a shoot i wanted to do during the day for a similar look, but my model was not available so I decided to do a night shoot.  Its wasn't ideal, but i couldn't let her leave the country without taking photos of her (she currently lives in Canada).
It was a fun shoot (and always is with Binx), we went to about 3 petrol stations before finally one guy said yes to us taking photos.  The others were worried about "head office" and bla bla, so this one guy was really laid back.  At one point a family drove up to the petrol station and i saw their car stop, and as i looked around the corner to see them, their faces where shocked, they thought Bianca was going to rob the place!  As the guy got out of the car he started laughing and said "I thought i was in America".
Shooting the shots where Bianca was wearing the fishnets with hardly anything else on was a part I wanted to get over with quickly.  I would have loved to have spent more time there but i was worried that some perverts might come and give us a hard time (although i did have my husband with us), i mean she was half naked!  Luckily we were fine :)
The street scape scene was pretty quick too.  I knew pretty much what i wanted and i think i got close to that.  You never really get what you first imagine in your mind.
All in all Im happy with the result, I feel like iv'e gone back to my roots on this one.  Most of my old work is pretty high in contrast.  Have a look and see what you think...



















































Ms Lopez, I love you.

  1. I love this shoot...it kinda reminds me of Tracey Moffatt with the dark reds and the series of B&W with Colour. The shots at the petrol station remind me of her too how they seem to have a narrative flow. Good job Dannii you are a very creative woman...
