And You Hate Your Job?
July 12, 2008
How would you like to be this model and get endless pies in the face? And to top it off when you put it in your modeling book nobody can tell that it is you because your face is hidden. Shot this for a mall to use in its food court advertising. It was going to be used large so we shot it on 4×5 film using a Cambo view camera. It was a really messy shoot and I was cleaning up whipped creme for ages as it got all over the studio.
The model never actually got hit in the face. We rigged up a compressed air tank off the set and snaked the hose from behind the models head and aimed it at the pie pan. An assistant would hold the pan filled with whipped creme in place, another would turn on the compressed air at my signal while I clicked the shutter. Used several Speedotron strobes to light the model and seamless paper backdrop.
