The back story: Mr. and Mrs. Kim are not actors or models. Their English is just okay. They’re a sweet couple that agreed to play the roles of stranded, hurricane victims for my Verizon Wireless shoot. And they’re the least likely people you’d ever imagine to be in the pic below.
After shooting the Kims for the actual Search & Rescue image where they were drenched, sullen and happy to be safely out of the water, we began our little scheme. The wardrobe stylist took Donald (CD from White & Partners) off the set to approve looks for the next shot. We busted out an assault rifle and pistol and handed them off to the Kims, who hopped right back in the boat and posed for this gift to Donald. They were hysterical. We actually had to pry the rifle out of Mrs. Kim’s hands. She didn’t want to give it back.
