I photographed the set of the new Lions Gate film “What to Expect When You’re Expecting”, featuring a star-studded cast of Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Chris Rock, Elizabeth Banks and Dennis Quaid to name a few, at Smith’s Olde Bar in Midtown, Atlanta for the Midtown Patch newspaper on Thursday, July 28, 2011. The movie is based on the New York Times best-seller by authors Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Maze. The movie, directed by Kirk Jones of “Nanny McPhee” fame, will be filmed all over the metro Atlanta area in the next few months. These are my favorite images from the set.

I am a 2nd generation native Atlantan. I am interested in whom I may contact regarding being an Extra on (in) films based in or around Atlanta. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you for any assistance.
