Me, Shooting You, Shooting Him


FH readers are aware I love 'behind the scene' shots, and love to include them whenever I'm profiling a shoot.  FH is rooted in story, and the process of creating that story is as fascinating to me as the end results.  I recently came upon the image above, and began searching for others from the series.  My search however, wasn't successful.  I'm guessing it's promotional bts image from an adult site, but wasn't able to find any others.

It did however, have me going back through the FH archives, and enjoying once again, many of the incredible behind the scenes images that so many artists have generously shared.  There are several types of bts images, from outtakes to preparation shots. (applying body make-up/models dressing and undressing)  Some of my favorites however, feature photographers at work.

In order to achieve this particular behind the scenes captures, there needs to be not one, but at least two photographers on set.  This makes this particular theme, often harder to find and share.  Thankfully, so many photographers I've featured shoot either with PA's, or with other photographers on group shoots.

Wes from New Manhattan Studios is frequently joined by Alex, and sometimes even a third photographer on set.  This enables not only great behind the scenes shots, but also a greater variety of shots and angle.  It's also been a saving grace, as there have been a few times, Wes has preferred the shots taken by others, and in at least one case with Bond, when Wes's images were accidentally deleted, Alex's images the only shots which resulted from the shoot.

The Utah trips, which feature 3 photographers, also generates another incredible perspective of the annual shoots.  Due to the pandemic, plans for this years trip are still up in the air, but fingers crossed things improve enough for their to be time to plan and find models for the September adventure.
