Behind the Scenes: ‘Best Job Ever’ - Victoria’s Secret Photographer

Photographer, Russel James, goes over his look into the life of a Victoria’s Secret photographer. It shows his history of how he became a photographer and his big break of how he landed the job. 

Cool facts of a V.S. campaign:

8 days of shooting

$20,000 a day to rent the studio at Pier 59 + the added cost of 2 supermodels on the payroll. 

The marketing value of millions of dollars lies on his shoulders. Now that’s the power of being a photographer. 

I like how the interview has a theme of trying to convince the audience that photographers actually work hard. I guess you can’t blame them when we work in a fantastic industry. 

Why Canada is Awesome

I’m American and I’ll admit, we often make fun of Canada, sometimes more than we should. And yes, we think of Canada as America’s hat sometimes. Vice versa, Canadians make fun of us at times because we appear to be arrogant and without modesty, but when it boils down to it, we have a fantastic relationship and we share a lot of greatness.  

Here’s a really great video about how Canada and America interact and why Canada is awesome. You may be surprised to learn a lot more than you bargained for. 

“In our darkest hours, Canada has been with us”.

I feel a group hug coming on.
