A Well Dressed Woman Is Always Dangerous

Last spring, I worked with Kristen Elmer of Silk & Cyanide again (previously here) to develop a lookbook for her new line. I ventured through the streets of New York with a team of models and stylists to capture the essence of a busy working woman. We then set up inside a midtown cigar bar to get a handful of dramatic interior shots. Ultimately, the goal was to emphasize a classic style that transitions easily from day to night, a collection "designed for dynamic and confident women that lead active work and social lives."

The rich reds, the mahogany hand-carved bookcases, and the general vibe of the location was fantastic. The lighting was definitely challenging but it's always exciting to experiment with various lighting patterns to achieve different effects.

Fashion Shoot with Silk and Cyanide

A few weeks ago, I had a really successful photo shoot for the clothing line Silk & Cyanide: A modern take on vintage style. Owner Kristen Elmer organized and styled the shoot, set up the backdrop, and of course, made the clothes. Models Julie Max (blonde) and Molly Randall (brunette) were awesome, and fabulous hair and make-up by Katherine Clay! The day went really well and here are some of the amazing shots I was able to capture.
