The variety of my shoots the last couple weeks has been totally invigorating. Since WPPI I have been so totally amped about shooting I didn’t think twice when Allie asked me if I was interested in doing a shoot for her new jewelry line. Allie is a fabulous artist whose new show opens this friday. If you are local to Denver stop by – it’s going to be a good time. [6-9pm @ the Hinterland at 3254 Walnut Street in the RiNo Art District].
Here’s a quick synopsis of Allie’s work from her site:
Ideal Woman: Necklace reflects Allie Pohl’s belief that society is obsessed with the image of “the perfect woman.” The necklace demonstrates our culture’s desire to emulate a look that seems naturally impossible to attain. Allie’s artistic objective is to critique cultural trends that she finds impractical or destructive to the female.”
This was my first crack at fashion photography, and it totally left me wanting more. The model is the infinitely lovely Audrey Powell. Also, the ever-stylish Renee gets mad credit for hair + outfit input, detangling wads of necklaces for hours on end and generally keeping us all on track. And of course, Allie is the brains behind the gig.
We originally planned to do a studio shoot only, but the light on my roof was so fabulous right when we were getting started that we all maneuvered our way up there for a quick fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes that resulted in some of my favorite shots of the evening.
And here’s a selection of the studio shots:
And you had to know this was coming…
