A model shoot
Wednesday, August 12, 2009 at 7:00AM I had the opportunity to work with Kelsey a short while ago on her modeling portfolio. I do quite a few shoots like this with models developing their portfolios or needing head shots for comp cards. They're usually fun projects, encompassing as many looks as possible in a short amount of time. It's kind of a creative breath of fresh air for me! Steven Fox handled the photography perfectly as always :)
We started Kelsey off in a colorful number. I wish I had a photo to show her entire outfit including poofy hot pink sparkly skirt! I pulled the colors for her makeup directly from her wardrobe, added in a few false lashes and electric blue cake liner. Voila! Instant 80's inspired look. It's definitely not an "everyday" look but I think she sports it well :)
Then we switched things up a bit for a more subtle, sultry look in rust tones. This is my favorite look from the session! It's sophisticated and playful simultaneously. I actually used the rusty shade of eyeshadow from her eyes on her cheeks as well to give a continuous and cohesive look.

I just have to add this one in here because it's a great pose. Any guesses as to how many takes it took to get this leaping perfected? Good thing Kelsey has a background in ballet! (I know I certainly couldn't have done it and she makes it looks so effortless!)

Kelsey, it was a blast working with you and I wish you nothing but success in your modeling career :) And Steven, great working with you as usual!
