Description

The weekly strobist meet up in Jamaica happens every Sunday at a location decided by the group over at their home base on the web. This week our model was acquired via facebook and details ironed out over msn. Everything was finalized by Friday night.

Model: Christina Duharris
Location: National Water Commission’s Mona Dam / Reservoir
Photographers: Don Giovanni, Bracket, Toni-ann, Greg and My self
Meet up Time: 9:00 Am at a central spot in Liguanea from where we’ld all ride up to the shoot location and setup.

The turn out was every one other than my self was late (a freakish turn of events i kid you not its typically the other way around). there was a surprise for everyone other than Don Gio who arranged the whole thing. We had a extremely talented make up artist on set this week which all the photographers were really greatfull for as we could request changes to make up to match our concepts.

Here’s a Video of the model being prepped by the make up artist as well as random idle chatter by the other shooters.

we were able to shoot at the Mona Reservoir for about 1 hour before we were booted for venturing too far into restricted areas all for the name of the shot :’(. We then took the shoot to Hope Gardens, A botanical garden / park / zoo In the Mona Area, Where those who didn’t get a chance to execute their concepts were able to shoot. We wrapped up around 5pm and held minor discussions about the next meetup relative to location. Look out for the next one nxt week.
