Pictures: Reiko's Sunburst Dots!
(New name = new watermark.)
More of Reiko! Makeup by Summer Johnson. This is the first of two sets we did.
Reiko just came to Okinawa from Tokyo, where she did some modeling. I'm her first shoot in Okinawa, and I got to work with both a new model and new MUA. It was awesome.
Setup was hilarious - I went to the dollar store and grabbed construction paper for the dots and background. So while Summer was doing Reiko's makeup, I was cutting out circles and taping them to the backdrop. It turned out pretty cool, we all observed as the wall went from white to an explosion of color, and matched her lingerie perfectly. R also had some of those ridiculous lens-less glasses that Japanese girls are so fond of, so we did a bunch of shots with those.
And Elsa managed to hop into a few shots. As always.

Cute story behind this one - Elsa had wandered into the shot to try again for the candy, and as Reiko was telling her 'no,' I said "Look at me." And they both did at the exact same time. It was unintentional but totally adorable.
There are a lot of shots to choose from here. So far, my favorites are 1, 6, 9, 12, and 15. But that's still too many. =/
(Any favorites you guys choose will be passed along to Reiko to help her pick prints for her hard copy portfolio, btw, so comments are super helpful!)
