I’ll be posting a few Internship Flashbacks not because I have any desire to live in my past, but because I have some photos/stories lying around and my blog seems like a better archive for them than my hard drive.

Fashion Rocks has since folded, but before it did I worked on this shoot featuring Nas & Kelis shot by Norman Jean Roy. I love Kelis & Norman, so this was really exciting for me.

We spent the week leading up to the shoot researching Jazz-era style on the web and in books we picked up from the library, scouring style.com for dresses, cutting and pasting together look boards, and calling in options. This shoot was tamer than most. We would typically have 100s of options for a fashion shoot, but because this was Fashion Rocks, a lesser publication on the totem pole, everything was pared down to a pretty manageable selection.

The day of the shoot was also tame, the only hitch I remember was some people being late. I was the only intern on set and things went smoothly. It was a short day. My job on set was to organize the wardrobe/wardrobe room, steam, and stand with prop-kit ready. Lunch was really good (the things that my brain holds onto…) and so was the conversation with everyone on set. And ya, I’m wearing Uggs – deal with it. I was in LA and it was years ago! haha
