Added a couple of new fashion images in book two of the portfolio! Of course, if you follow me on Flickr, you probably have already seen them. I desperately need to update my facebook page!

This image is from a little editorial I shot for my friend, Meret Goetschel, featuring her senior collection for SCAD. All of the garments were amazing and bizarre and super awesome. I had the idea for an alien-esqe fashion shoot at this location for a while, and when I went to the fashion building at SCAD to talk with some designers with clothing that fit the bill, I ran into Meret. That was a surprise because she was a photo major– we had had several classes together. Turns out she was ALSO a fashion major. Talk about ambitious!

Anyway, her line was PERFECT for my idea and she loved the concept and location. Everything went well, we had great models and awesome assistants (An Le and Brittany Sturrett). The only kink was the weather. We shot in late May, which in Georgia means summer was already in full effect and it was easily in the mid 90’s out there. The clothing was all knitted so the models were dying. Even though I was in a tshirt, I was feeling faint! One of my assistants held a reflector over my head shot shade me as I shot. I work with only the best, haha.

We had everything wrapped two hours and eight liters of bottled water later.

No, I didn’t shoot the lighting setup, but it was pretty simple. Just one or two AB1600’s high and on full power to fill in for the sun, which was almost directly overhead and we used as the key.

I’ll post a breakdown of the other new image in my next post (yes, with a lighting setup).
