LA Woman

Today I had a truly long day of shooting. 10 hours in heels baby! Yes, it was long, but super enjoyable. Most of the day was spent Downtown LA on the most cool and urban rooftop I’ve been on in LA yet. Taking the view of the skyline into consideration it felt like I was in NYC again. Except this rooftop was as big as a football field and you do not come across that in The Big Apple.

Later, starved, we went to the quaintest little place on 1850 Industry called Church & State. Really good French Cuisine, wine and ambience. When downtown do yourself a favor and visit this place.

Après dinner we were Hollywood bound. Two more locations to cover. At this point it was pitch dark, but that was the point and PK – the top photographer – whom I had the pleasure of working with today had me get into and onto crazy locations in challenging outfits.

The whole shoot is for an exhibit and the song ‘LA Woman’ by The Doors was PK’s inspiration:

” Well, I just got into town about an hour ago
Took a look around, see which way the wind blow
Where the little girls in their hollywood bungalows
Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light
Or just another lost angel…city of night
L.a. woman, l.a. woman
L.a. woman sunday afternoon
Drive through your suburbs
Into your blues, into your blues, yeah
I see your hair is burnin
Hills are filled with fire
If they say I never loved you
You know they are a l.a.
Drivin down your freeways
Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman…
So alone, so alone ”
