Accessories Are Only Accessories

Loved this shoot, photographed by Sarah Silver, for the June 2009 issue of Vogue Mexico/Latin America. I love the contrast of the white hair with the intense colors of the makeup and sharp angles and geometry of the clothes and accessories. Generally, I don't usually find beauty and accessory shoots to be all that memorable, but the poses here are absolutely flawless and the photographer makes the person and the accessories equally important in the images. Sarah doesn't neglect the connection with the model for showcasing and making the accessories the most important aspect of the images which happens too often in beauty and accessory shoots. The accessories act as accessories and emphasize and highlight something about the model instead of being the main focus of the images and pushing the model into the background.

Sophie for Petrune

A few days ago I was lucky enough to photograph the amazingly talented and gorgeous Sophie Reppert. Petrune, the vintage clothing store on the commons, lent us amazing clothes for the shoot. Thank you to Petrune for the beautiful and unique clothes and Lucy Carey and Libby Denault for styling the shoot.

Loving the Informal

I'm definitely a fan of the "informal" shoots that we are seeing more in the editorial side of fashion photography. I love the way we get a sneak peak into the lives of the models and a sense of intimate normality even if they are completely staged in every way. The images are softer and aren't trying so hard to be "fashion" images in the traditional sense and the more relaxed nature of capturing the models "in the moment" is something I hope we see more of in the future.
