INSPIRATION

I KNOW: TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL PHOTO SHOOT, I LIKE TO HAVE A THEME, AN IDEA, AN INSPIRATION. A FEW WEEKS AGO I WORKED ON A PHOTO SHOOT FOR AN ALBUM COVER FOR CHRISSY LOVE. CHRISSY HAS AN INCREDIBLE VOICE WITH A HUGE RANGE. SHE CAN SING SOUL, R&B, REGGAE, HIP HOP, FUNK, FOLK, AND ROCK. I WANTED TO EXPRESS HER RANGE IN THE CLOTHES THAT SHE WORE. I WANTED TO SHOW HER ECLECTIC STYLE AND KEEP HER CURRENT AND COOL, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO GIVE HER A REGAL, OLD SCHOOL DIVA FEELING. ARIA ISADORA, THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND I FELT THAT WE COULD GET THIS FEELING WITH THE LIGHTING AND HAIR AND MAKEUP. SO WE WENT SEARCHING FOR INSPIRATION.


THIS IS SOME OF WHAT I FOUND: 








WITH THE HELP OF THE SUPER TALENTED AND AMAZING HAIR AND MAKEUP DUO KAVITA KAUL AND KATE HANLEY WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE CHRISSY BACK IN TIME BUT STILL KEEP HER LOOK CONTEMPORARY AND COOL. THESE ARE THE GORGEOUS PHOTOS OF CHRISSY THAT CAME OUT OF THAT SHOOT. WE ARE STILL HAVING A HARD TIME EDITING AND DECIDING WHICH COLOR AND LIGHTING VERSION WORKS BEST. MAYBE IT SHOULD ALL BE IN BLACK AND WHITE? LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK:
