The past few days had me prepping and shooting a fashion collection for a friend who imports from India. He needed a few large posters of his Spring outfits for a fashion expo in Guadalajara and so I went scouting around for models, locations, and a good printer with ultra-quick turnaround times. Having secured them all, the shoot took place in Chapultepec park (you can see the previous post for more on this little slice of DF) with an Aztec-themed fountain as the backdrop. Worked beautifully too, as the grey/brown of the stone really offset the Spring colors of the clothes and the faces of the models. Still, the whole shoot was upstaged by the perky daughter of the client, who happily pranced around like a model before going off to get her face painted. The shoot was truncated by the intervention of the local braided constabulary who took issue with the absence of a park permit. Oops. Always check the formalities, even (more so) in a public place.
