Casino Spades

Yesterday I did a Punk themed photoshoot with a model I met from Model Mayhem named Casino Spades. We met up at this really neat 6 story abandoned building near downtown Cincinnati but when we got inside we soon discovered that the upper floors were inaccessible due to the collapse of the staircases! We crawled into the basement which was nearly pitch black and climbed up a set of stairs. It took us into a HUGE room where the walls were covered in graffiti and holes in the floors and ceilings offered unique ways to make use of natural lighting (YAY!!). There were lots of props, rubble, and debris that really added to the Punk feel in the photos! Casino did a great job offering lots of variety in poses, looks, and creativity : ) She was so great to work with! The photoshoot turned out to be a great success! Which I'm really happy for because the last 2 models I scheduled with ended up never showing up! Grr..
