Art Of Fashion "La Belle Époque" Photoshoot

Bonjour :)

After the Art Of Fashion Design Competition, which you can read up on here and here, I wanted to do a photoshoot with each of the models wearing dresses of their choice in partial repayment for their hard work (& to document my own work of course ;).  This is the first shoot with Karina & Kathleen - hopefully I'll be able to shoot & post the other ladies soon, although I'll have to find an indoor venue...

I love photoshoots!!  I love finding the venue, doing the hair & makeup, styling the pieces, photographing the models, editing the photos!  But, although I have a nice basic digital camera, I really want to get one that is more photographer-appropriate (suggestions are welcome!).

This time, for the shoot, I decided to switch it up a bit from the competition & have a cleaner, sexier look for the hair & makeup to modernize the pieces a bit more.  I loved the setting, which my mother, Norah, & Kathleen found!  I really like how the soft dresses play off the hard surfaces.  I also played around with the light & colour filters a bit in photoshop to change the feeling of the dresses.  Karina & Kathleen were, as you can see, amazing!  Everything looks so good on them!  I hope they had as much fun as I did :)

Enjoy!
