last night i did my first attempt at a truly high fashion photo shoot. i designed the outfits, Karah Linn modeled, Hillary Hubbell did hair, and Linda Miller did the makeup.
I pulled all the elements for the outfits together from different thrift stores round Omaha. I wanted to stick to a brown/creme/earth tone palette as far as the clothing went. To add extra color and pop I used a blue gel effect on the softbox to the left of Karah. Unfortunately our local camera store wasn’t open and I couldn’t purchase “actual gels” so I used some colored cellophane gift basket wrap from a local party store. I must say the results were awesome, and the blue was vibrant. And the large size of the cellophane made it easier to use with a softbox, Plus at less than $2 a roll and about 303284029 colors to choose from, they are definitely worth experimenting with!

Excellent work!!! Love your work. Really dig the use of colors on this one. I see the lower box was gelled blue… was the upper box or key octa gelled as well?

I just looked through this blog of yours and I have to say that I am really impressed. Your photographs are really expressive and I also love the way you catch the light (especially outdoor).
Stunning work and I am sure to read your blog more often now.
