I recently did a photoshoot with Denver musician and singer Sophie Gray. Sophie is a senior at East High School in Denver and the theme of this shoot was “bored teenager”. This spot actually worked out perfectly for what Sophie wanted and we were able to also do some photos on Colfax near the school to get a different vibe.
Sophie’s outfits were pretty funky but it fits with her vibe. These photos will eventually be used as a cover to her new single as well as on social media, etc to promote her new song. Sophie is filming a music video and these will supplement that release.
Shooting on Colfax has so many cool options and even though they might not be “age appropriate” for high school kids due to the number of beer signs and bars, it still makes for a super cool backdrop. There’s so much character (and characters!) on Colfax. My usual spot in Denver is Rino but I might start doing more stuff on Colfax after this shoot. Rino is cool but is super popular and is starting to feel a little stale.
The Lion’s Lair on Colfax has always intrigued me due to the colors and sign and this ended up working out perfectly for Sophie’s outfit. And the yellow door was awesome! And we just happened to walk around the corner and noticed a cool vintage Porsche that we could use as a prop. Of course we asked the owner and he was more than happy to let us use it.
