In the past couple months, I teamed up with photographer Nicolle Clemetson , owner of Studio 8 photo studio in Downtown Phoenix. Creating LookBooks for professional talent newly signed and currently represented. Agency's such as Ford Models and Agency AZ fashion divisions have shot fresh new looks for their talent portfolios.
Spending 2-3 hours per model we sift through wardrobe and heels. I fill in any missing pieces with an arsenal of fashion goodies. Flip on the steamer and head to the makeup chair. Keeping it real simple, I add subtle makeup and simple hair styling as to show the girls natural beauty. This is exactly what the agency's want and future clients need to see. Nicolle already set up, she sync's up the genius internet radio station Pandora creating stations anywhere between Ella Fitzgerald to Britney Spears to She & Him. A variety of melodic choices, all seem to lend fair for all age, even the mom's know the big daddy rapper Jay-Z!
Being a girl team has proven to be very cool on both sides of the camera. Nicolle's fun laid back style of shooting, creates a creative place for models to bring their best foot forward easily, effortlessly and beautifully as you can see below. We both love our jobs and there is normally a lot of giggling and high fives too...shhhhh don't tell. Were total geeks!!!
Here are a collection of poloraid's I snapped of the graceful Emily. And here are the final shots! A new sign at Agency AZ and professional dancer, what a gift working with her on set. A natural talent. I'm inspired to take a class. Enjoy!
