Amanda Peixoto Elkins - The Blog: Meet my soccer/football buddy, Bradley James!
Bradley James, English heartthrob (7 September 2020)
I remember contacting his reps and telling them how much I’d like to work with him after watching his guest performance in Izombie. And to my surprise, I received an email back saying he’d like to work with me too, during his next trip to Los Angeles. I was then able to set up a photoshoot for Bello Mag for a feature piece.
The shoot was really great and we spent a few hours together taking pics at random places like a laundromat and eating IN-N-OUT. Super casual! haha Needless to say, we all had a great time together. Bradley is a sweetheart and I am sure he didn’t mind spending the day surrounded by an all-female team. As for me, it was fun working with someone while discussing one of my favorite topics: soccer.
I couldn’t wait to get home and go through all my images. I knew we had captured some really great ones! But… when you go through shots and have waaaaaay too many favorite shots. It’s a problem. A good problem, but a problem!
After the shoot, I invited him to come along to play soccer with my group and I. That was a blast! Even better was listening to him and my son discuss Arsenal versus Chelsea. Not sure I’ll soon forget that conversation. 🙂
When bringing his magazine copy to him, I had mine signed and love the message.
