So last month I organized a shoot with fellow photografriend Kristina and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Considering it was my first time trying to put together something like this, I don't think I did too shabby. I really just wanted to collaborate with a great team and shoot some unusual-looking clothes.

the bird of juno
All the clothing designs were made by Tea Ninkovic, a recent fashion design graduate that I got in touch with via facebook. I really wish she had a website so I could link to her work, but I think she's still working on that. I love that she doesn't make just simple skirts and sweaters; they're more like costumes. They're colorful, loud and definitely not boring.

As far as a concept or artistic vision, I really didn't have one, at least not while I was shooting. I kind of just let the clothes and the surroundings inspire the shoot, and it wasn't until I started editing my images that I began to make this connection of an animal or creature in the woods. Hence the photo titles such as the bird of juno, which refers to a peacock, or Kapara's web, which refers to a species of spider.

Kapara's web
My model was Taryn, and she was awesome to work with. Super sweet and professional. That shot above is probably my favorite from the day. There were all these twisted dead branches on the ground, and when I asked her to hold one of them and I started shooting, something just clicked. It totally fit the mood of her outfit. And then later while editing, I took a chance and added some spiderweb texture, and bam. this happened.

Badri killed it again with the hair and makeup. I love working with that woman.

This shot was one of many that I fired off while Kristina was shooting, and I kept coming back to it while reviewing my photos. I think that I love it so much because it's also one of those "in between" shots....those times when Taryn stopped posing in between actual posing. There's just something so human and fragile about this one.
I think I'll save the behind-the-scenes photos for tomorrow! Stay tuned :)
