*behind the scenes CRYSTAL JIN lookbook shoot*

I recently worked with Crystal Jin, an amazing swimwear designer and her awesome team shooting her 2011 lookbook for her new collection. I shot her lookbook last year which you can see on her website here:

Her collection this year had more of a native american, earthy tones more natural feel to it so we decided to shoot this on location in a place that had a desert type of feel to it! We ended up finding the perfect location right here in the tri-state area!! The shoot was 2 days, and the first day it was blaring sun which made things a bit hard and everyone ended the day sunburnt. The second day was overcast which made things a lot easier. In the end, the shoot went smashingly well and we all had a blast working and hanging out with each other!! The final images will be done soon, more to come!!
