I have wanted to overhaul my portfolios for the longest time and decided it was high time to do so.
This is the beginning of my new fashion book.
I utilized my time during my recent trip to Russia to inspire what direction to take my new portfolio in. While in the past I have chosen to shoot for my portfolio to have stand alone images, I have decided to move on to more of an "editorial story" style. I really want to move to telling a cohesive story.
All of these shots (click here) were shot either in Moscow or St. Petersburg while on vacation. While looking at these shots please keep in mind that I am almost half way through retouching and re-lighting these backgrounds. In some of the shots you might notice that there are red blocks, this is where I am planning on "stripping" models into the shots. Right now I am in the casting process for the models. Also I am splitting my book into two separate "stories". First (the first 8 shots) is currently titled "Tryst" a story about a romantic meeting. The second (the remainder of the shots and 2 more to come) is currently titled "Rendezvous" more of a 1950's style narrative of a spy story with updated clothing styles, very dark but full of small details in the shadows. I really want to explore both of these stories to their fullest potential. Please check back later to see this portfolio's growth.
