Witch tea product shoot for Deer Women!

Good afternoon, everyone! I’m getting back in to my usual routine. A relatively easy morning, getting @guthrie off to school, errands and now sitting down to write a quick Steemit post before making our way to @caffetto for Magic: The Gathering with @tarotbyfergus one day before Standard expands include Dominaria. I reserved a few seats early tomorrow morning for a showing of Avengers: Infinity War as well, so it’s going to be an awesome, nerd-centric Friday. 

I’m already swan diving in to some of the shoots from LA and Viva Las Vegas. This particular shoot had to get bumped up the list a bit because the client needed high resolution images for a campaign starting Saturday afternoon. The brand is called Deer Women and they make witch tea. Yes, just like it sounds. Teas for and by witches. It was such a cool company that perfectly complimented my photography esthetic, I had to take the shoot even though it fell on my only day off […shortly before I made the 4 1/2 hour drive from LA to Vegas].

Jessica, the company owner and model, arrived with her husband early that morning after having hair and make-up done by my trusted colleague, Analisa Blancarte. She looked lovely and filled the surface of the estate’s large dining room table with an assortment of teas and beautiful, handcrafted tea cups by home decor artist, Miss Havisham’s Curiosities. In addition to the editorial photos we’d be taking, we’d also be taking product shots of the tea and cups individually.

It was a quick shoot for what it was. Typically, this kind of shoot schedule would encroach on my date rate but Jessica was fast and organized. We came up with a formula, shooting product photos first, followed by wide shots that would lend themselves to advertising in print and internet, then a series of straight editorials, which is my favorite. We managed to get through three looks and locations within the house in just under 90 minutes.

Once we finished, I helped the couple pack up their props and products, and walked them to the front gate as I myself, left for Las Vegas. It was a perfect shoot to cap my time in LA on this trip. I was most excited to edit a few of these shots, which is another reason I’m sharing them here on Steemit so soon after the trip. There will definitely be more photos to come from this shoot. Just doing a first pass through the RAW images was so satisfying.

Thanks for reading. For more photography, art, illustration and the stories behind the work, follow me here @kommienezuspadt!

Ver happy to see you posting again ! Curious, what are your favorite colors for Magic decks in general? : )

Amazing your photography.....
Your lips is so sex.....
Success is your...

Your Fiction is always going to like it. I know you are a very successful photographer. Your models and you are doing great jobs. again awesome lighting and composition. I'm sure this successful shot does not need much editing. I like the color tones you choose. I like the old time air on the photo. This image as well as many of your other feel like classical paintings in every detail. Very impressive work. congratulations

And have a nice day

Fantastic shots as always dude. I've no doubt the brand will love them. I know a few people over here who would be all over their tea's if they were available here (the Irish do love their tea).

Awesome Portrait! Great Costume and make over! Excellent composition spring, beautiful portrait.! * Beautiful lighted image with nice warm colors and a wonderful model. I always like work. You know this. You're a master. Needless to say too! Congrats!

Beautiful photography. What an interesting place to spend a few hours in.

If the world were clear, art would not exist.

What a nice blending into background @kommienezuspadt :) She is lovely and you did a great job again… routinely :)

beautiful and nice photo editorial, for a picture of a suitable tea and cup product on display

Besides seeing these great photos, I'm really happy for you. I like how you describe your routine. Seems like you live a rich and fulfilling life with a good balance of family, work, and play.

Steemit sure is something. I for the longest time was missing the work and family part and all I did was travel and play. Many would think that's a fantastic thing, but it leaves one quite empty. Now with steemit I've got the work covered. I legitimately can say I'm a travel blogger! Feels good to be productive and enjoy what I do. I'm sure you can relate. Now to work on that family part. Is that witch in the photo single! lol

By the way I thought I had you on auto vote, but apparently I did not.....I just went into steemdunk autovoter and I've got you on there now do now. Just want to show my support. I'll try to check in every so often. You're posts are great just like your photos. From Buenos Aires Argentina - Dan "World Travel Pro!"

What a cool concept for a tea! And what gorgeously fun pics to match!

love the photos! sounds like you have been very busy

Oh damn I love the aesthetic of the pics and it's even inspiring me for a drawing idea! Is it alright to tag you or at include the link to this post if I ever get around to drawing it?

As always loving your work, we're glad you're back :)

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more from this shoot! She is gorgeous, and I can't help myself when it comes to witchy weirdness. And now I'm off to peruse these instagram links. 😊

Beautiful photography @kommienezuspadt.
Absolutely beautiful and so creative.
Jessica does look amazing and just so perfect.
I also love how you take the photography of the product and explain the whole behind the camera story.
Love your work.
Definitely following you and I can't wait to see more of your photography

Very nice your photos of that witch and the accessories, you did not get to try that tea?
