Renaissance Redoux

Hello Stylistas! The month of September has flown by for me and I thought I better get back to blogging before October is here. I have been waiting for some things to come in to blog, so I will have more pictures to share. First and foremost I am no longer a student! I completed my post grad. at FIDM and now I am floundering about in the real world like everyone else wondering what to do with all my free time... If I know myself at all I better figure out something quick. I get very restless when I don't have a lot going on. So that is an update about what has been going on since the last posting.

Now for the fun stuff: New styling pictures are in! The final project for my styling class had to produce a look based on a theme for a photoshoot. We worked within groups of three and had a model, and hair/make-up artist at our disposal. The shoot was at a studio in

dt LA. Here are the best looks from our group. The theme was Renaissance Redoux (rebirth).

There were a ton of pictures produced from the shoot, but these are the ones that I will use for my portfolio.

What is interesting about photoshoots is it is very much a "hurry up and wait" process. Stylists are usually the first to arrive on set, and sometimes the photographer. Then the model will arrive, and very often the hair and make-up artists. Once the clothes are picked out for the model, there is the process of hair and make-up. This can take hours-this is the wait part. From there it is hurry up! Clothes go on, and the photoshoot begins. The actual shooting of film only lasts between half hour to an hour at most. Once the photographer feels they got the shot, then it's a wrap. And if your lucky, you will get great pictures to put into a portfolio.
