piano shell rental or loan

[jmstephenson]

I have web searched myself close to silly trying to find a grand piano shell (any size other than Schroeder's) for a senior shoot.

I made the mistake of brainstorming with the mother, and now she seems hell bent on having her daughter sitting at a grand piano in the middle of a field. One day I will learn to keep creative thoughts to myself....yet again, probably not.

So does anyone know of a grand piano shell, any size, any color that is available for a photo shoot. Client is in NW Houston, but we could drive to a greater Houston location (read within an hour or so).

I did find one guy on the web who will rent it for $400. But he was not willing to place it in the middle of a field.

Tell mom as soon as she finds someone to place the piano, you are ready.

I would shoot two different pictures and merge the two of them.

yep, a photo-comp might be the way to go

or i'm sure there is some prop house in LA that will ship you one, so if your client is wealthy go for it

Otoh, I bet he will...for a price. If mom wants to pay it, the option has been afforded her. If she says no, you tried.
