Welcome back!
One of my Styling For Visual Presentation briefs required us to complete an on-location photo shoot. For my 19th birthday my dad bought me a vintage cheerleading jumper (at least I think thats what it is). Me and my group were inspired by this and as a result decided to somehow incorporate the cheerleader vibe into our shoot but not as everybody knows it at present. While we were doing our research pre-shoot, we were bombarded by cringe pictures of beautiful girls with perfect hair and makeup smiling so much to the point where their jaws must have ached terribly. We flipped this on its head and instead have constructed a cheerleader with a careless attitude towards the sport she is supposed to obsess over. We wanted her makeup to be minimal and smudged, her hair carelessly tied up and loose and her poses to emulate exactly how she feels.
We completed the shoot on Friday morning at the Heckscher Ballfields in Central Park with a 7am call time in below zero temperatures which wasn't the easiest but we are all so happy with the outcome - take a look at some of our final shots as well as some behind-the-scenes pictures below!
Our model Andrea was absolutely incredible, she could have well within her rights become a huge diva deciding not to wear the small amount of layers that we had available due to the cold, but instead she rolled with it so perfectly and professionally, resulting in us coming out with some killer shots. This of course all wouldn't have been possible if it wasn't for our genius photographer Ellen Marszalkowski - her skills, art direction and overall lovely personality made the shoot so successful and enjoyable.
Thank you Ellen!
I hope you enjoyed this post!
It's now officially my last week in the big apple *cries uncontrollably*.
