June Workshop: Day 1

So it was 8am and the morning of the first workshop, students Eman and Thomas arrived from Malta and Ohio.
The creative team and models had already arrived the day before and included London based models Laura Cherry, Jackie Boonnam and Alycia Blackman, fashion and action photographer Moritz Stragholz and internationally published makeup artist & hair stylist Roseanna Velin.

Roseanna and Julian were especially excited to meet each other and work together, after being in touch and following each others work for several years.


After all the hellos and introductions, we got stuck in with the first shoot.
The team looked through clothes and accessories to decide on the first look.
Lingerie model Alycia was first up, she wore a leather fashion harness and dramatic makeup.



We shot this look indoors against a sandstone wall with a two way diagonal 45 degree lighting set up and reflector... and the results were pretty intense! 
Check out the student gallery to see the final shots.

Next up was Jackie, we decided to go for a more classic style fashion image. Makeup and clothing was kept quite minimal but still glamorous looking to create an image with a luxurious holiday feel to it...


After dinner, Thomas booked Jackie for a personal shoot. He wanted to shoot a fashion story, set at night by the pool. It stays pretty light here on the evenings, until around 8pm when the light starts to drop.

Whilst Jackie was in hair and makeup, Moritz helped with the lighting set up and Julian taught Thomas about fashion stories and giving direction to the model.

Images from Thomas' fashion story coming soon!
