Need a location

[ShaneKislack]

Help, I need a location for a client. She wants to shoot a Maxim style layout in a jungly scene...or as close to it as possible. Lot's of green, but not forest. Maybe some palms, or a wall covered in ivy.

What have you got for me?

You might check out Fort Worth Botanic Gardends, they have a lot of bamboo and other Japanese things. I have been there a few times.

If you go to the FW Botanical Gardens be prepared to pay. If you take a tripod into the Japanese Gardens they will want to charge you $75. I've heard that the guards will hassle you if you are elsewhere in the Gardens and they suspect you are a pro.

What about the Dallas Arboretum (sp?)? How about the FW Zoo?

[ShaneKislack]

I've thought about those...but this isn't actually a family shoot. It's not porn but it'll probably be bathing suit,ect. You know Maxim style. Looking for someplace fairly private so the model won't get uptight.

Sounds like what you need is someone's backyard or something. or a Private garden. you know someone with a ranch or lake property?

[krodgers]

i thought of the rain forest cafe in grapevine mills mall, but then i read your post again about being private area so probely will not do.

Try River Legacy Park in North Arlington.. lots of secluded, yet still well lit areas just off the paved trails.. and heavily wooded as well.

Brad, is that the park that you can see from I-30 on the southside of the interstate? Has the little pond with the fountain in it?

[Jeff_Green]

River Legacy is north of I-30 on Green Oaks. It's between fielder and cooper where they dead end into Green Oaks.

[ShaneKislack]

Thanks...the client is from Arlington...so she may know this park. Any other ideas as it sounds wooded as opposed to jungle...

I know of several areas that are secluded enough for what you're trying to do but they aren't actually "public access". Plus, chiggers this time of year in most of these places are REALLY bad. If you're interested, PM me and I can line you out on several locations that are wooded/overgrown/wild looking that are in the area as well as locations that are kind of "edgy" structurally. Take a look at my portfolio here to see waht I'm talking about.

No, that's Randol Mill Park... River Legacy is at Cooper and NW Green Oaks.
