Emily Highstreet – MTV “Made” Mountain Biker

02.03.12

From girly-girl to biker-girl, Emily Highstreet was “made” on MTV’s Made TV show. The episode came out awhile back, but she’s still got it! She even wears her pretty little pearls whenever she rides – why can’t a girl look cute even if she plays in the dirt! So we headed for Joaquin Miller Park and had some great foggy weather. And yes Mom, I know she’s not wearing her helmet, and yes it should have been the first thing she packed, but it ended up not getting packed at all – but we were super careful!

You can see her in action here on the show!

Meet Maddie!

Got a cute kid? Do they love to pose for the camera? Modeling might be for them! Most commercial modeling agencies have a children’s division and are always looking for new talent. This was a super fun shoot with Maddie, who was fantastic and easy to work with.

Kari Eliza Hill

Lately I’ve been focusing my work on commercial lifestyle using only natural light and a few reflectors. I wanted to try something new that had a little more drama and edge and I knew just who to call – independent model Kari Eliza Hill (I love putting in her cool middle name btw)! Kari has a very introspective and fascinating look. She creates moods and expressions that leave a viewer intrigued and wondering, inviting them into a story. I knew Kari would be perfect for this different look I wanted to try.

For visual inspiration I’ve been following the work of very talented Emily Soto and wanted to try something similar to what she does. You can see a pic of my set-up at the end of the post. For the techie’s out there I was using a ND Filter on my lens and a 400w/s strobe with an Octabank to overpower the daylight. I also shot a few with just natural light which was just beautiful that day as well.

You can see more of Kari’s work here.

Thanks! It was an ND8 which I believe is 4 stops. It was really hard to focus that thing in the woods!

Interesting to see the contrast between her and the more experienced models you’ve had for some of the other recent posts. Clearly the skill is in the range of expressions. I like the one with her on the two swings best since it’s the least like other photos I’ve seen before. Cool idea!
