April Bowlby
13-Feb-2012, Monday
READ IN GERMAN

Since a few years I am a great fan about the TV series "Two and a Half Men". The time for the broadcast of the series in Austria is really perfect. Whenever you are coming back from an exhausted production and you are getting ready for an event or if you are just sitting on the ergometer, you can watch.

Also April Bowlby is part of the show, she is playing the role of Kandi and that was also the reason why I was really excited as I heard that we will meet her in Los Angeles and get the opportunity to realize with her a great photo shooting in the restaurant NIC`s in Beverly Hills!

April is next to her role as Kandi in "Two and a Half Men" also a part of TV shows like "CSI", "CSI:NY" and "How I Met Your Mother". Also she is playing the character of Natasha in the family drama "All Roads Lead Home".  But by now she is part of the US TV show "Drop Dead Diva" as Stacy Barnett.

My Assistant Arturo did build up the whole set and arranged the light. The restaurant NIC`s was once the favorite restaurant of Dean Martin and he always sat on the table where I was sitting at the photo shooting.

While Nelly took care about the hair styling and the make-up I had to go the to the loo and as I saw the toilettes I thought these were nearly perfect for the photo shooting with April. So I went to convince April about my idea, but it took not very long and April had no doubt to realize it.

April was, as chance would have it, three days before in Vienna. There she was invited to the opera ball from the Austrian horrible family, who invited before some other stars. It was a really funny situation as April told us that she was so happy to meet us and to see that not all Austrians are look and act like this. We also set right that Mr. Lugner is not the organizer of the opera ball.

The shooting itself took not very long. I had to make 2-3 classic shots with a normal background. Here I used a main light source from the top as well as a backlight with the black background and lighted up the white one. On the toilette we had not very much space so I used the Beauty Dish of Hensel, which made a really great light.

It was a great photo shooting and we met a new friend. Also April could show at the shooting that she is a great actress, she never act like she does in the TV shoe "Two and a Half Men", she is in real life completely different.

See you soon
Yours Manfred
