USHER - "TRADING PLACES"

Here another recent music video that I casted. Usher's "Trading Places". OMG! They had me audition every girl in the world for this one. At the end of the day, I sold them on this girl named Joey. I met her dancing in the VIP section at Tao in Las Vegas. I flew her out to LA for a photo shoot about 5 months ago with photographer Richard Franklin. Here are some of my favorite shots from that shoot:

She was a total "new face" as we call it.  Never did anything in entertainment on this level.  I always discover the fresh ones!

Usher casted her sight unseen from these pictures.  I guess he trusted me!!  Anyway, the video went great. Usher LOVED her!  I got a personal call.  The girl kinda caught a little 'tude with me tho after the job.  I guess it went to her head... (It always does. Lol!)

Well here's the finished project.  Directed by my boy Chris Robinson.
