Beer On Earth - Orange Belt IPA Beer Video Teaser
Check out the new video promo teaser we created for Beer on Earth for their Orange Belt IPA Beer. They're based in Providence, RI., and have a cult following due to releasing a new beer every week.
We shot a variation of clips to build the teaser that includes the product plus highlight some of the major flavor notes, so people have a good idea of what to expect from the beer. We then put it all together, added some sound effects, music, and voila; here's the finished product.
Have you considered adding video as a part of your marketing? If so, we'd love to help you with your next project, so please message us and let's create some magic!

Behind the Scenes; Lens Smudge Time-lapse Video
Happy Monday, Friends. Here's the time-lapse video created for Lens Smudge Episode 5, where we bring you behind the scenes of the setup for our 80's inspired photoshoot.
It took 4+ hours to capture this scene with several "takes" and "tweaks" because we were filming for the show, plus photographing ourselves at the same time.
Have you ever tried capturing a time-lapse, and if so, what did you think? Comment below; we'd love to know!

Happy Anniversary ARP!
One year ago yesterday, we held our launch party. It's been a wild ride, but we wouldn't change a thing.
Here's to many more years of pushing boundaries, learning, growing, educating, and kicking ass!
Thank you for all of your continued support!
Behind the Scenes with Ms. Fran Collazo
Here's a behind the scenes look into a recent collaboration we did with the REMARKABLE Fran Collazo @ms.fran.collazo
This experience was more than "just a photo shoot." Fran was gracious and trusted us with her story. We sat down as she courageously gave an intimate look into her journey, in her own words.
Fran talks about childhood, identity crisis, challenges experienced being gay, transgender, how others struggled to accept "her," and the love she found for herself and others.
We are celebrating WHAT she's been through, WHO she is and HOW she sees herself all in the hopes of helping another who may be experiencing something similar.
We are truly honored to be part of her movement and can't wait for the world to know who Fran is! The video, article, and imagery will be shared once published. Stay tuned; you won't want to miss it!

Amy Rose Productions Print Portfolio Teaser
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED! Our new print portfolio is here, and we couldn't be more excited to share this teaser. The process took several months (and rounds) before finalizing/printing.
Thank you, @jemma.dilag from @wonderfulmachine, for all of your guidance and expertise during curation. Sequencing is crucial, and this book is more than just a collection of images. Jemma carefully crafted our portfolio to tell stories that include a beginning, middle, and end.
The goal is to bring your potential client on a journey while adding surprise elements along the way. If you shoot multiple categories (ex. fashion, interior, and food), see if you can sequence the imagery together to tell a story by color, theme, or season. If combining doesn't work, keep them separate.
There are many types of books out there, but we chose to use the screw post book from @lostluggage_co. This allows us to print out individual pages and swap out the imagery with new work as needed. The process is a lot easier than printing a whole new book each time.
Send some love if you agree!

Betsy Davidson, Co-Founder of Space For Arts, visits our studio
We recently sat down with the Betsy Davison, Co-Founder of Space For Arts, in our studio. It was refreshing to meet another creative enterprise focused on community, customer service, and developing a unique booking platform for creative spaces that services the nuances of the industry. A big part of the Amy Rose Productions philosophy is inclusion, access, and community. Betsy and her company really ticked all the boxes in that respect and are on the same page as our values. It was a pleasure to connect in person, and we look forward to the start of our B2B relationship. After our meeting, Betsy sent us a lovely note that included: "...I had so much fun getting to know you both and hearing your stories. It's what I adore about the work we are doing and having the ability to connect on so many levels in person. You are right; it's about the philosophy and inclusion and community. I am so looking forward to working with you and growing together."
How To Self-Produce A Photo Shoot (Part Two of Six)
Last week we talked about self-producing a photoshoot, coming up with a concept and creating a mood board. Click HERE if you missed the blog post. This week we’re going to share our tips for finding a wardrobe stylist and talent.
Clothing is a crucial component of Fashion and Editorial Photography so its best to work with a Wardrobe Stylist. They will:
· Purchase and/or borrow items such as clothing, accessories and/or props that match the concept in mind.
· Dress the talent in an organized way.
· Check for wardrobe malfunctions during the photoshoot as well as wrinkles in clothing, or anything else that may be “out of place.”
· Ensure all items are accounted for at the end of the shoot and return items if necessary.
Tips for finding a stylist:
· Use the hashtag #fashionstylist or #wardrobestylist on any social media site.
· Contact local agencies and colleges to see if a Stylist is available and make sure your expectations are clearly known.
· If all else fails, you can always style the shoot yourself, however that’s another element to worry about.
Having a stylist is also like having a second pair of eyes. They can offer suggestions, solutions and/or bring things to your attention. It’s a team effort.
You now have your stylist booked, so what’s next? Decide how many models you want in your photoshoot, as well as their gender, age and ethnicity.
Tips for booking talent:
· Search social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram or Model Mayhem. If you’re using your own model, make sure a model release form is signed. This lets everyone on the team use the photos for the uses stated in the release, and it saves you any
headaches should there be any issues down the line.
· Call your local modeling agency. Explain what you’re doing (i.e. portfolio building, submitting for publication, etc.) and would like to know if there are any models available to test with. The agency will have a say on how you can use the photos
(if no fee is involved), so you’ll want to confirm the details right away.
· It’s best to go through the agency directly, rather than contacting the model. If you try to skip through loopholes, you can ultimately end up blacklisted by the agency. The agency will let you know if it’s OK to contact the model directly, after
you’ve spoken.
Stay tune for part three as we’ll share our tips for finding a hair and makeup artist, as well as choosing your location.

How To Self-Produce A Photo Shoot (Part One of Six)
Chelsea and I have self-produced many photoshoots over the years so we wanted to share our top tips and findings, when working with a team. Today we’ll be talking about creating a concept and mood board.
Everything starts with an idea so you have to decide the purpose of your photoshoot and ask yourself, are you:
· Portfolio building?
· Selling images as stock or planning on submitting them to a publication?
· Trying to appeal to a certain audience/client by selling a specific lifestyle/product (fashion) or telling a story (editorial)?
· Just experimenting?
What narrative do you want your finished photos to express? What world is your character situated in?
· Pull from other art forms such as a memory, song and/or movie. You can always jot your ideas down on paper or in the notes app of your phone when brainstorming.
· It could be something as simple as an adjective like “happy” “vibrant" or "nostalgic". You can then revisit these ideas at a later date.
You’ll now want to create a mood board, once the concept has been figured out.
Mood boards are essential because it helps guide the entire team towards your vision. Imagery can be pulled from Pinterest and/or Google to name a few. They’re a great resource for photo inspiration as well as on-line and/or printed fashion magazines.
Below is an example of a mood board created called “Photoshoot – Fashion Men.”
You can also check out my other Pinterest boards here for more ideas: https://www.pinterest.com/MShanahanPhoto/
The mood board can include images of the desired overall mood, color palette, style, model poses, lighting, location, clothing and hair/makeup.
At times, Chelsea and I already have a particular model in mind, so the photoshoot will be built around the talent. Other times we’ll create a theme/style first and then revisit it at a later date when the right person or setting arises.
This series is split into six segments so stay tuned over the next few as we’ll share our tips for finding a wardrobe stylist as well as talent.
Amy Rose Productions Ribbon Cutting and Launch Party
Worcester, MA – On Wednesday, February 19, 2020, at 5pm, Amy Rose Productions will be celebrating the official company debut with a ribbon cutting ceremony and launch party. The ceremony will take place at 5:30pm in the newly renovated 1200 square foot studio, located in the historic Higgins Armory Building at 100 Barber Avenue, Worcester, MA 01606. The ribbon cutting is in association with the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce and, local and state officials. Promptly following the ceremony, Amy Rose Productions will be hosting a launch party at Sail to Trail Works, also located in the Higgins building. Wine, light refreshments, and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
Amy Rose Productions cofounders, Melissa Shanahan and Chelsea Nye, met a handful of years ago while working alongside each other at a local studio. The two aligned seamlessly and found themselves having the same dedication and passion for photography and all the nitty gritty that goes along with it. After work cocktails quickly turned into a lasting friendship full of road trips, vacations, adventures, collaborations, and a metric ton of shenanigans! They have since built a full-service production company, working locally and across the US as commercial photographers, have a Cyc wall studio available for rentals, and will grow into offering workshops and professional photography development. The Amy Rose Productions philosophy is to bring personal life values of loyalty, resolve, passion, reaching for the stars, and wonder to every project and client. It’s that character that motivates, gets the clients excited, and keeps the photographs fresh!
The event is open to the public, please RSVP at https://www.amyroseproductions.com/rsvp
