Second Shoot with Suzy

Did we mention before that this girl is amazing? We LOVE her :) She layed down in a puddle in the rain in an alley for us and didn't even hesitate. We got so many great and diverse shots with her.

High Fashion/ Red Dress Shoot

We got the opportunity to collaborate with an amazing fashion designer, Sandra Hagen, who created this amazing red dress for this shoot. The inspiration was a Royal poinciana tree in Bartlett Park. I wanted to showcase the tree like an old highwaymen painting while having something very fluid and flowing on the model. The dress was designed custom for our model, Suzy, who really made the dress and these shots as great as they are.

On our first day of shooting, it ended up raining all day, so we got stuck in the studio but got some great beauty shots while we had the makeup artist collaborating with us.

Eventually, we did get the poinciana shot as well as some gorgeous images of Suzy wearing the dress on a dock in south St. Pete.

We're Painting on Clothing Now :)

I think this was the best in studio shoot we have had to date because our model, Sony, totally brought it! I am really starting to think that we are good at this too because this is another image that translated from my head to film beautifully. Just how I pictured it :) My favorite component of this series are the expressions on Sony's face; she is so animated and that is exactly why she was perfect for this project. I can;t wait to shoot some fashion series with her!
