In the mood for vintage

As I was in the mood for a bit of vintage, I organized a film noir inspired fashion shoot with the greatest talents in OC.

Who says there is no culture/art in OC?? Ok maybe not so much as London/Tokyo/NY/Paris but anywhere you go, you always come across creative people with abilities for performing as greatly as the artists living in metropolises, I believe!

Everyone in the team I worked with was based in or from OC. They were all super nice, chilled and hardworking.

I always use my favorite lens Canon 85mm F1.2 for portrait shoots. This gives amazing texture to human skin and fabrics. If you do fashion, this is a must have.

I shot a model Emily against a gray wall with a 32" umbrella with a diffuser that gave dramatic light and shadow at the same time.

Emily was a great model who knew how to move of course, and could look innocent and sexy depending on angle. Despite the freezing cold weather (yes it does get cold in Southern California) she did a great job and we were all happy about the way pictures came out.

We managed to capture 7 looks. They should be on the G.O.O.D.S magazine January issue! I cannot wait to share the images here..!

Charity, all the clothes were beautiful. Alisha, your make up was just perfect. Nycole, you are the sweetest & most talented hair stylist to work with. And Emily, you're a great model.

Thanks everyone!
