Kailyn
Before meeting, Kailyn and I talked about the kind of session we would like to work on. She said she loves travelling and can’t live without coffee. So through the conversations the concept of shooting in this European like cafe and then walking down the streets of Santana Row to recreate Kailyn’s longings (travel and coffee). If you’ve never been to Santana Row, it’s very reminisent of European street design. It even has a hotel called Valencia.
Kailyn and I sat down for a cup of coffee, started talking, strike an occasional pose and took lots of images. Kailyn has done plenty of modeling shots and is quite good at it. For this session I wanted to bring to life her own personality, her own interests and desires. I was interested in showing a girl who’s full of laugher, joy. energy and at the same time determined, not afraid and open to whatever life brings her way.
Old Hollywood Photoshoot
Have you noticed our infatuation with the past? Our desire to go back in time wether it’s fashion, music, film. There’s something very charming in the notion of feeling something that happened before us.
I loved old classic hollywood images - for the light, the techniques, for this almost naive romantism bordering on non explicit sexuality that was showcased in the eye as opposed to exposing body parts. It was sensual, inviting and mostly in black and white which has its own charm.
