♪♪ [Amy] Hi, guys!
Hi!
[man] How are you?
Very nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.
- [man] Nice to meet you too.
Oh... Hi.
[man] Hi, very nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you for doing this.
You're a medium?
[man] Yep, yes.
[Amy] All right, let's head down.
I just gotta get a visual of what this is gonna look like.
I kinda... My process is that I find the painting, like... You know, we're gonna do a lot of different poses.
[man] Cool.
[Amy] Let's give it a shot and see how it goes.
[man] Like this.
And then just like that.
[Amy] Yup.
And then move this foot up just a couple of inches.
- [man] I did.
- [Amy] Oh, there we go.
[beep] Okay, Raj, look at him in his eyes.
[beep] [camera snap] ♪curious ambient music♪ [Amy VO] Photography is the beginning of the painting.
It's how I begin to search for what I want in the work.
I let the models feel their way through what's happening, and then each pose, I try to adjust to find exactly what I'm looking for, what the painting is going to be like.
What is it going to feel like?
Are the colors right?
Are positions right?
All right, we're shooting.
[Amy VO] I rely on the organic in my work; like, I try not to over-plan, I just go in with my antennas up, looking for the right moments and waiting for that synergy to build between the models.
And I leave the photo session with exactly the image that I'm going to work with, so it's almost like it's my sketchbook.
That's amazing.
That's good.
This is perfect 'cause the way your noses are, everything is great.
