New England fashion and beauty photographer

It was a Vince Camuto swimwear kinda day

 

This would be my third shoot with Tiffany Cline.  Tiffany is an amazing model with so much determination to be successful in modeling and everything she does.  This motivates me as a photographer, because I know that she’s going to give all her effort in a shoot.  Having done an 80’s fashion shoot, and then a casual shoot in Central Park, when Tiffany and I planned this shoot, we decided to go for an editorial feel with high-end swimwear.  This was a look that I was confident that Tiffany could pull off.

Photography – The fashion inspiration for this shoot would come from multiple places, but I drew mainly on shoots from Vogue with Jennifer Lopez and GQ with Jessica Biel.  I wanted a combination of studio and outdoor.  The indoor sets were done in my loft against a white background.  The first sets used natural window light with a large reflector to the right to get an awesome bounce light on Tiffany.  The other sets, I wanted a harsh light that replicated the sun.  So I used a single strobe, placed far back to produce hard shadows against the backdrop.  For the modifier, I used a simple 7-inch reflector.  The strobe was an Einstein shot at 3/4 power.  Camera settings were f/10, 1/160, ISO 100. The outdoor sets, I used natural light with a reflector.

Hair and Makeup – For the shoot, I collaborated with master makeup artist, Isidro Valencia.  Isidro gave details on his process, which I have included below.

“Hair – Wet hair looks sexy and stylish and sexiness is what I was looking for with this shoot. The hair was easy to do. I applied gel from the top down. Starring from the hairline, I worked back to the crown of the head, scrunching the gel into the hair, then blended it in using my fingers and a wide-toothed comb.

Makeup – I brought the girl from the beach to the studio.  After I prepared the face with primer, concealer and foundation, I created a radiant look using a cream luminizer, bronzer and a flattering shade of blush on the apples of the cheeks. I applied shades of gold highlight along the cheek bone, brow bone, nose and other high points of the face adding luminosity and sensuality to the skin. Eyes & lips were easy, breezy and modern. For the body I used one of my favorites products from NARS cosmetics, “Body Glow”, giving the skin a bronzed, radiant, natural glow.”  Isidro
