Sometimes I have these creative ideas that just bug me until they see the light of day.
One being shooting what I will call (for now) a ‘nearly’ boudoir or beauty session. Something that is still sexy, but with out being in lingerie.
The other thing that I was just DYING to try was shooting with a fog machine. I have been dreaming of using one ever since I saw Natalie Portman’s Vogue fashion shoot where the photographer used one. You can view the video – here. Yeah, I about came unglued when I saw that shoot.
I also wanted to get out of my comfort zone. I am very comfortable and confident at shaping, working with and seeing natural light. It is my favorite thing to shoot in. So, I gave myself a challenge…No natural light could be used. EEP! This session was shot all with my studio lighting equipment. Not gonna lie, it was challenging, but I ended up loving the end result.
A BIG thank you to my model Jennine for helping me create this vision AND for coming up with the location. Another big thank you to our wonderful make-up and hair stylist, Evelyn of Studio One Hair Salon, where the shoot took place.
