When people think about a photo shoot, they imagine a lights-camera-action scenario where timeless snapshots are accomplished effortlessly. Most picture a scene of artists moving with an almost romantic, ethereal flow, capturing beautiful images on the fly. But most photo shoots don’t involve unstructured creativity. And while the best photo shoots can seem effortless at times, this ease can only be attributed to the pre-planning and organization going on behind-the-scenes.


A recent photo shoot showcasing a blossoming new company, 22 Blackwell, exemplifies this actuality to a tee. And veteran industry producer Amy Davis can school you as to why. Planning the perfect photo shoot can be a proverbial black hole wherein the risk can unapologetically devour the reward. Without proper calculation of costs, set-up, staffing and more, the planning of such magical events can render itself as anything but actual magic. But with the efforts of Ms. Davis and her production team, the understanding that a seamless execution can be achieved becomes clear. On this particular photo shoot featuring the company’s founder, Luke Talman, Amy developed a plan. Her mission? To bring this burgeoning artist’s story to life, with his vision at the forefront of every step. In the process, she taught him how to master this important business model for himself for future endeavors.
