Washington Wizard Girl Auditions: Part Four
After a very long Saturday at the Verizon Center and three round of cuts, thirty-seven Wizard Girls finalists remained. Sunday would begin with a photo shoot of the hopefuls in bikinis and the Wizard Girl Uniform.
Just one problem. The photographer wasn’t there!
So Wizard Girl Director Jessica Pikulsi asked me to fill in. I’m always willing to help, so I said “Yes”, but i was extremely nervous.
Normally I shoot a ton of photos and then pick out the best of the best. But here the girls would get only one shot. And I couldn’t advise or make suggestions on the pose. This was all part of the audition process.
Later in the hallway, I had a mini-debate with some of the ladies. The topic was “Who was more nervous?”. They had to pose in their skimpiest swimwear in front of a panel of judges. But I was so nervous I was sweating and shaking.
In the end most of my photos came out okay.
