Behind-The-Scenes: Shedoesthecity’s #Motoshoot with Photographer Mike Ruiz

Don’t want to brag too much, but last night we hosted an intimate party at the iKonica Studio in Toronto’s east end to celebrate the launch of the new Moto X Play smartphone and Moto 360 Smartwatch and it was THE BEST. (Like, we danced in a popcorn container, okay?)

Judy Inc set up hair and makeup stations so we could get primped before our close-up with famed New York photographer, Mike Ruiz. With oversized Daisies, colourful picture frames, giant-sized kissy lips and inflated balls that were bigger than us, the set was like Alice in Wonderland meets Blossom, a pop art explosion, or just a playground for a bunch of Toronto writers and artists buzzing on penny candy and Prosecco. Whatever you wanna call it, it was FUN!

From Kim Kardashian to Betty White, and everyone who you can possibly imagine in between, Ruiz has shot them all for just about every major magazine. But last night, he whipped out the brand new Moto X Play smartphone and snapped us licking giant lollipops for our personal Facebook and Instagram accounts. (We’re totally spoiled.)

If you’re in need of a new phone, GET THIS. Not only does it fully charge in fifteen minutes (wahh? YEP!), but the photo quality is amazing, and the Moto 360 Smartwatch is our favourite tech accessory to date. We’d wear this watch because it’s gorgeous, but then it also does EVERYTHING. Beautifully designed, we’ve been using our Moto 360 to search Google Maps, check our Gmail, knock off our to-do lists, and text! We’re obsessed.
