A short shoot with Sara on the blog today:)
We started simply, just classic black cotton basics and a white wall.
Makeup artist Sadaf created a beautiful brown smoky eye for this look, paired with absolutely perfect dewey skin. If a classic black smokey eye sounds daunting, this softer version is a lot easier to pull off and still photographs really well.
Just hanging out in my curtains again. If you’ve shot with me, you know why this is funny;)
This summer haze…I’m always so sad to see it go.
Look two. We ended up going for an “English Rose” sort of feel. Sara’s lingerie was the perfect shade of pink, so we used that as inspiration for her lip and cheek colour. Tia, our hairdresser extraordinaire, suggested a casual, fun top knot and everything came together quickly from there.
I tend to prefer almost everything in colour these days, but here are a few black and white frames anyway.
This faaaace. My quest to learn studio lighting continues, but I’m pretty proud of these.
And more proud of these, because CHANDELIER. Sara probably thought I was a complete idiot, as the wider view of these images is a total mess – me squeezed into a tiny hallway, loads of net curtains hanging over too-small lights in a too-small space, and random bits of equipment clipped and taped in place. OH, and me hand holding a ghetto fill light in my left hand while trying to focus and shoot with my right. Luckily, I surrendered my pride long ago hahaha! WHATEVER IT TAKES girls, I will get the shot.
A little old school film stock and texture to finish.
Sara, thanks again for a lovely shoot! Sadaf and Tia, props to both of you for doing such a great job (as always), it was such a pleasure to have you both on set. Until next time!
