First opened in 1871, Grand Cen­tral Ter­mi­nal is a New York icon. And it is gor­geous. This was the first time I had been inside the ter­mi­nal. When I was younger, Penn Sta­tion was my usual route to NY when I didn’t drive. We did some scout­ing before the shoot­ing day and got a chance to soak in the place. Unfor­tu­nately, we didn’t have our tripods for the pre­lim­i­nary visit so our shoot­ing was a bit limited.

Thanks to Can­dice, and after many com­mu­ni­ca­tions, we were armed with per­mits and off to shoot in the space. Our plan was to shoot busi­ness, a mod­ern day vam­pire, and the archi­tec­ture itself. That turned out to be quite an ambi­tious plan and unfor­tu­nately we did not fit it all in.

But we couldn’t have asked for bet­ter peo­ple to work with that day. First, the folks at CSI rentals were a true plea­sure to meet. I got a great vibe from them on the phone when I first called in the rentals and in per­son they were just as help­ful. Chance von Spiess­bach, our fab­u­lous model, was a blast to work with and turned out to be quite the celebrity at GCT. ;) Mia Bau­man, our makeup artist, was a last minute con­nec­tion that proved to be the per­fect choice.

Here are some behind the scene shots of every­one at work. Left to right: Can­dice in zen mode. ;) Chance work­ing on his teeth fit­tings. Mia doing her artistry.

Here are some shots from the day.
