Just Divorced!
I first conceived of the idea of a Just Divorced photo shoot while driving around with my friend Jovo who had experienced a cathartic release upon getting divorced. The concept was to explore the idea of divorce as celebration, as release. I had the idea of Jovo jumping out of the back of his 82 vandura with a blow up doll and a “Just Divorced” heart across the rear. Well, as the prep for the shoot continued, the ideas got more and more concrete, and I got interested in parodying wedding images in general. We came up with four set ups an on Sunday September 20th, we shot them!
The shoot was a success with local models, Little Vegas, Gisela Cardenas and Stephanie Manou joining Jovo for a fun shoot, last sunday.
The final images are viewable by clicking the image below.
Assisting on the shoot were expert model wranglers, confetti tossers, and light manipulators: Matthew Power, Michael Gardiner, and Brandon. I would like to thank Melissa Dutchak for producing the “Just Divorced” sign and I would also like to extend an extra special thanks to Christyn and Bogey for allowing us to throw rice and confetti all over their front lawn and turn their living room into a green room. Thanks!
Below are some behind the scenes pics from Michael Gardiner’s iphone.
