BTI # 551: Nightmare at the Studio
Nightmare at the Studio Hosted by: James Patrick There’s times when I’m in situations that are a lot scarier than they need to be. Today, I am sharing some of the most terrifying photoshoot experiences I’ve ever had. Happy Halloween! “This could end up with something interesting or this could end up with me dead.” IN THIS EPISODE Tales from the camera operator. When someone pulled a gun during a photoshoot. James being choked by his client’s husband. Being detained during a photoshoot. Being haunted by missing gear. Horrific things clients have asked of James to do. Swimming with sharks.
