In 2012 I participated in a group shoot fashion show in Boston called “Big Bang Boston.” As far as I know it was the only one they did. I met a few models there that I was fortunate enough to work with again in the future including Aimee Stamler and Morgana Allen.
The location was a club on Tremont Street. I had done a few events for the producer, but this was the first one I did in a club. I used a flash during the runway show, but not very effectively, and didn’t get any shots worth keeping. I did, as usual, get a few descent shots from backstage and from the crowd.
This group shot of the models, designer, and MUAs received many likes and comments on Facebook due to how many people were tagged. I would attempt a group shot at my future group shoot events specifically for social media purposes.
Aimee Stamler stood out as one of the models; you can see her in the group shot above in center. I remember how vibrant her cool peacock tattoo on her inner arm was and of course her red hair.
We kept up on social media, and this year I was fortunate to do a maternity shoot with Aimee, 8 years after our first shoot at Big Bang Boston.
Morgana Allen also stood out. Not just because she’s very tall but she also came off down to earth, cool, and confident. The outfit she’s wearing is her street clothes I believe.
A few years ago I photographed Morgana in her Jessica Rabbit costume, which she made herself. She designs and builds custom wedding and formal dresses through her business HOVEY Couture.
