miami riot!
myself, Jheanell Talee with Miami Riot
I know that every shoot I work on I say that it’s my favorite – but hands down, this was it! I haven’t laughed that much in a long time and definitely never laughed so much at a photo shoot. These guys were a riot – literally! Miami Riot is a rock band that had great success during the 80′s and 90′s and after a long hiatus, they’re setting the stage for their comeback!
I guess rock bands are supposed to have a hard image, but these guys were so funny!
My main role at this shoot was to work on hair and these guys had a lot of it! I also did touch ups on set while Cassandra worked on the other members. I can’t wait for Cassandra to post the video from this shoot because it’s hard to put this experience into words.
This shoot was bittersweet because although we were having the most amazing time on the shoot, it was my last (for now) with Cassandra before leaving South Florida. I thank her for taking the time to teach me and for bringing me along to all the fun projects that she’s been working on. I have something I’m cooking up for 2011 which she is a vital part of, so we will still be working together despite the distance.
Photographer Alex Manfredini was nice enough to snap some and edit some photos of us with the guys! Here is Alex himself (in the long black and white wig) with the band – gotta love a photog who loves to have fun
