I have gorgeous friends who like to dress up and drink cocktails.
It was the sort of after-after-after party where by five past midnight some of the assembled young things were playing parlour games while others reclined before the bookcase. (Philip from The Strange Boys, at Otto’s after some sort of Silver Lake vs Hollywood dodgeball-plus-music extravaganza.)
Coming soon to a Prefixmag.com near you.
(Action Jackson is his code name.) I always like it when my subjects bring along their own props and know exactly how they want to be shot.
Promo shoot for The Lynx Technique — April and April, styled by Charon Nogues, in Elysian Heights. Very fun shoot, gorgeous girls. Can’t wait to see them play one day.
