Hi all,
So the semester is coming to an end. I am teaching my last fall class (Photo 2 digital) at ICP tomorrow - can't wait to see my dear students' final projects!
Before I jump on the plane with my little family, I wanted to share my most recent shoot with you.
I was assigned by Avram Rusu Interiors to shoot a room in a beautiful mansion in New York that Andrea (the designer) entirely created for the Holiday Homes charity project. It was a high-end, spectacular show.
I spent 2 days there for the architecture shots and a few extra hours to make portraits of the designer. She had brought 3 outfits but I realized that one of her dresses made her look particularly fabulous and decided to go with this one only but in 3 different settings to give it a different mood.
For the first shot, I went traditional - Vanityfairesque
For the second shot I wanted something fun, 30’s, almost flirty
For the 3rd one, I chose a darker “in the mood for love” twist
For the geeks, a few details: I was shooting with my D700 tethered to a Mac Pro. I had 3 sets of lenses: a 24mm, a 50mm, an 85mm. I also had a flash and a few diffusers and reflectors.
And for those who are still with me, my favorite is the second shot. Off course, the first portrait makes the strongest statement, but I personally like the easiness and lightness of the second. It is soft and chic. Just what I would like to feel from someone who is going to design my home!
I will be back in 2012 with new photo stories!
Happy holidays to you all!
Xx
Stephanie
