Bartender Olympics!

I did a shoot for the Bartender Olympics here in Milwaukee hosted by OnMilwaukee.com. A group of bartenders compete in events that involve the most ridiculous of tasks. For example stacking as many PBR cans as possible in a minute or making a drink while holding a shake weight. Haha, so I took a fun approach to it, by making these “athletes” feel like they were true competitors, complete with sweatbands. We didn’t even have to style them-they showed their personality & we made em look like champions! The Bartender Olympics will be held March 1st and along with it, our new issue of Two Cents MKE! In the printed magazine you’ll be able to see the full spread and all the contestants. I’ll link when it debuts! In the meantime, here are some of my favorites!
