Recently, we were in the northeast part of the country, enjoying a few days of family visiting. It was so nice to see different scenery–I wish we could have stayed longer! What a contrast of scenery. Up north, everything seems so green and lively (in the middle of summer, which is an extremely rare appearance to what I’ve grown accustomed to in Texas); the trees are tremendous–it’s almost shocking how tall those trees are! They make nature look so serene and fairy-tale like. Refreshing. To hold on to this feeling/memory, I headed back to the studio and translated it into photography. The idea is set, now to create beautiful stylized portraiture. Since the first post of our session, I am smitten with the look of these images. Lacking giant trees, and super lush green vegetation, we use what we can control. Before I have our model (and me) bake in the Texas heat, we have a consensus to shoot indoors–Aahh! Studio to the rescue! Solange is a picture of serenity (and much more comfortable in air conditioning!) and Megan, our stylist, does such lovely work with hair–it’s crazy how those flowers just stayed in her hair. Megan is convinced Solange’s hair has magical powers. Not quite the Rapunzel hair magic, but I’m sure there’s a useful purpose in holding flowers in hair
Stylized Portraiture in Serenity
We branched off from the fairy tale feel and ventured down a fashion route with tulle.
