Elkan’s 1st Commercial Shoot
January 2, 2008 Leave a comment
After many rounds of requests, Felicia finally let Elkan go for his first commercial shoot. Ever since Elkan is here in Shanghai, he has been "street-scout" to go for auidition. Having daddy and mummy (and aunties) in the advertising world, we know the dark side of this industry. To the commercial buyer, he is just a reference face to push a visual. Nothing greater than that.
Finally, we met a talent-scout agency who offered to pay for Elkan’s photography, port-folio and publicity fee, we decided to let them shoot Elkan. A 1-hour shoot became a 2-hour shoot. Elkan is very cooperative in his virgin shoot. Unable to understand the chinese-speaking photographer, Felicia has to "command" Elkan on the poses (kinda typical childish). I dun expect great classic…but hey, it is a free makeover shoot. And the producer allowed us to keep his photos for free!
Anyway, children grow up fast. We want to capture his cuteness and innocence. See this as a good excuse for us to put him up as a "talent".
Afterall, it is better than home alone with a bunch of adults.
