Mob Wives – Behind the Scenes

Link:

Got a call from VH1 to do a very large scale, two-day production for Mob Wives Season 2. They wanted a very decadent, over-the-top image that represented the countdown to midnight, as well as the new season, which started on New Years Day. The idea was that this image was taken moments before the main cast members engaged in an all-out brawl. We knew this would be a very complicated shot due to the sheer number of people involved, the restrictions of the location, and the limitations surrounding the main cast. For instance, the main women could not all be in the room at the same time. Since they are on a reality show, if there was any interaction between them, it needed to be recorded by the TV cameras. So we had to photograph them separately and then stitch them together along with all the other pieces that would be involved in this composite.
