Bull Hooey Photo Shoot // Sep 21.09

Date: Sept 20.09
Performer(s): Bull Hooey (Inessa Frantowski & Craig Brown)
Venue: Roncesvalles Village
I’ve been shooting music shows for the last few years but have seldom worked on actual photo shoots. I remember doing a shoot for Ohbijou and the whole concept felt so new and unfamiliar to me. I didn’t know where to direct the light, I didn’t know where to direct the band members, and worst of all, I didn’t have any ideas for the shoot.

Learning experience, I suppose.

Yesterday, I was able to work with comediennes’ Inessa Frantowski and Craig Brown to help with their ever-growing sketch-comedy act called Bull Hooey: a compiled list of scenarios involving office work and married life. Both comediennes are great on their own, but as a duo they have a chance at making you pee your pants before the punch line. Somehow they’ll garner that affect.

They also take pride in having “the best double-chins in the business”.

This shoot was fun! We worked in a laneway in the Village of Roncesvalles. Craig’s cat was spooked by a dog and it looked like of those mad cats from Looney Tunes cartoons. Aside from the cat, we worked with a variety of characters for the shoot including the young Bull Hooey couple and the married woman and clown combo.

Bull Hooey can be seen at The Rivoli a lot. Here’s a promo clip: here.
