It was with great excitement that we confirmed that the stunning chameleon Zaftigg would be storming the city of Buffalo and camping with us for the night. Not only that, but she promised that she would be bringing a mysterious Makeup Artist and would love to do a shoot.
I’ve worked with Zaftigg a couple of times in the past and it has always been great. She has so much attitude the air is thick with it.

Any photographer who works with models as fearless as this know that it’s like Christmas has come early. So the night arrived and they came tromping into the studio where they would crash for the night after attending high spirited shenanigans in downtown Buffalo.
Z had brought stylist extraordinaire Joseph Frank of Joseph Frank Aesthetics and as we all relaxed and chatted, I wondered what it would be like to work with a stylist for the very first time (I have styled all previous shoots).
The next morning was an easy going and cheerful prelude to the photoshoot which grew in creativity and concept as we all pooled our ideas together to create one big monster awesome plan. I had decided to do the shoot in one of our studio’s unused bedrooms (storage room really) because I had previously painted the walls but was very open to the idea of messing them up again.
Styling and makeup applied, outfits donned, lighting ready, music thumping and paint (paint?!? – Yes, paint) at the ready, the shoot began and, as it does in the best situations, grew like a glorious monster and took a life of its own, especially when Joseph got involved himself.

May I add that it would be so awesome to do engagement photos like these?
And then of course, the painting began!
