Here is a quick peek at our photo shoot from this afternoon

Tom_Demerly · February 10, 2005, 10:35pm

We atarted at noon and in under two hours, not counting about an hour for set-up and lighting, we had everything we needed for the feature on our website. Here is a look at the photo shoot itself: This is one room in the new photo studio at Intuitive Business Solutions where photographer Marc Liljgren works his magic for product and wedding photography. and his finace’, Kim Ross, puts it all together in graphic design, web design and more. I used Marc’s camera, a Fuji with Nikon image stabilized lenses, to do the actual shoot for our website and grabbed these candid photos of the shoot between wardrobe changes. Sarah, our model, had sore legs from a 12 mile run she did yesterday and is looking forward to the duathlon season starting soon. We tried to incorporate the Mammoth Cat into the shoot, but all we could find was a medium sized one. Actually, this is Number 1, one of the cats we rescued a few years ago if you recall. Marc and Kim take care of him now and he lives at the photo studio, Marc and Kim’s big new building down the street from us.

I’m not getting the outfit…bra and arm warmers???

vitus979 · February 10, 2005, 10:40pm

Too skinny.

efernand · February 10, 2005, 10:40pm

Yeah, lose the bra.

Tom_Demerly · February 10, 2005, 10:40pm

Exactly…

And that is why we are doing the feature- becasue most of customers do not understand how to use cycling clothing. This will literally be a lesson in how to get dressed.

Too skinny.

Are you kidding?! Screw that, she’s hot!

kiwipat · February 10, 2005, 11:10pm

three words.

Pearl, Izumi, & wow.

Demerley, I would soooo hate your job.

Tom_Demerly · February 10, 2005, 11:22pm

Yeah, basically being in a photo studio for a couple hours with Marc and Kim, two cats, some fun music and Sarah doing a great job with this project makes for a good day in the bike business.

And here is another as we work through the proofs. We will look at about 300 photos to pick the 8 or so that will be used on the feature:
