well, today i received a care package in the mail from a wonderful company called downeast basics!! they sent me this adorable sweater because i happened to mention how cute i thought their sweaters were, and that i would love to use them on a shoot...( in a post oneliza magazine's blog)
their awesome pr person, kathy (did i mention that she is awesome?) got in touch with me to say thank you, and sent me a sweater as a gift! so cool! not only is it cute, but it feels substantial, and expensive - but the price point is so low! quality, people!
now i must romance them into letting me shoot their next campaign...*cough* *cough* ;)
here are a couple more shots... check out the cute frill detail!
check out their cute bow detail on the tag!
thanks again, kathy and everyone at downeast basics for making my day *call me!* *wink* *seriously*
today i want to share with you my favorite model, hailey clauson. she is the 14 year old (yes, i said 14!!!!!!) bombshell with FORD, from right here in la, and i know she is gonna be the next big thing!
these are just a few images that i, myself have taken of hailey. she is such a great girl, has a huge, hilarious personality, and is a real pro. i love her, and can't wait to see what she does in the future!
today, i am gonna start working on my new promo cards...i am getting inspiration from all over the place, and trying to create something really beautiful, and of course, MEMORABLE. i think a lot of photogs waste their money creating something that will be thrown in the trash, so it's important to grab your viewer!
i will keep you posted on the outcome, and who i use to print, etc.
so, i have been working -ALOT- which is awesome, and of course i want even more! keep it coming, universe!
the latest 2 jobs were for california rising, a wonderful, green company, whose clothes you seriously want to live in AND for anzevino & florence, a fashion forward, beautiful line with great pieces, a must have!
i can't let you see the images yet, since the look books are for their new collections, but soon!
i am also retouching like a mad woman, and getting ready to shoot another COVER! very soon
Hey Everyone! It’s time for another recap on what I have been up to in the past few weeks…
as some of you know, I have been working with the super rad clothing company, think the higher end American Apparel), LNA. I recently shot their Holiday 08 look book (a catalog for buyers where they can look at the designers entire collection for that season). Usually look books are very straightforward, shot on a white or grey background, but we decided to try something a little more artistic.
I came up with a concept for a green screen shoot, where we would shoot the model separately from the background on a green screen, and composite the two in post production. Here is what the images looked like on the green screen…
It was my very first attempt at a green screen shoot, and it was an enormous amount of work, especially with Thania being a blonde, curly-haired model. I used no shortcut Photoshop plug-ins, which in hind sight, was seriously annoying. I loved this project though, because it really challenged me both as a photographer and a retoucher. I learned a lot, and was actually really inspired by the end of it. The project had morphed from the original idea, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. Let me know what you think.
I will put up a link when the lookbook is up on the LNA site!
After finishing the LNA project, I was absolutely dying to shoot. Mt stylist roommate, Sarah Hawkins and I decided to brainstorm another project. We decided to shoot with Aria, a Brand Model, and a girlfriend of mine. The concept was something like, well, you decide what you would call it…here are a few
How incredible is that location?! I’m not telling where it is…it’s too good. ☺ sorry! Here is a little video of the team on location…
After that shoot, I was off to England for a little holiday with my boyfriend for 10 days. We will be in his tiny home town of Haslington, which is nearest to Manchester, but still about a half hour away. Haslington is a teeny village on the countryside, it is so beautiful, and a nice change from LA. We also went to Liverpool, where Nikki actually lives, and spent some time in Manchester too. England is so awesome, and so different...and i am now obsessed with tea-no joke. Here are some images from the trip…
So here I am, back in the states, and ready to work! Collabo, anyone?
lots of people wanna keep up with me, including myself, so i thought i would keep a virtual "diary" to show everyone what i am up to with pictures, news and thoughts on my experiences. hope you enjoy it as much as i do!
