Behind the scenes Austin photoshoot

Austin, Texas has incredible vibrancy. They literally have it on the streets as captured by NY Artist Craig Hien. And a perfect place for a high energy photo shoot. The Hotel Saint Cecilia is a slice of photographic heaven and Model Talent Michelle Box and Amy Cook played the part of angels well.

Austin is HIP! as in young, recently-settled urban middle class of adults and older teenagers with interests in non-mainstream fashion and culture, particularly alternative music, independent rock, independent film and magazines. Oh yeah even the millions of bats that fly out of Bat wing park at sundown have their own vibe too.

The Vibe Refinery is helping to "Keep Austin Weird".
