OPEN SHOOT WARDROBE - TOP SUGGESTIONS

I am having an open shoot on July 23, Saturday and it's called Flirty Floral Photoshoot.... I am creating maxi skirts, mostly full circle size but with some A line and maybe a few straight cuts. However, I asked each participant to bring their own tops for the skirts, the reason for this is so that they can have a perfect fit for the top. The skirts are flexible, forgivable because we can pin them or i can make them into garterized skirts so it can fit a range of sizes. But tops look much better when it is a perfect fit.

So, what kind of tops should i use? This is a question that I am sure will come up. So i am writing this blog to show some suggestions of tops that would go with long flowy skirts...

1. CROP TOP

I think with all the material a full skirt provides, a crop top would be a complementing partner for it. Crop tops can be sleeveless or even with sleeves..take a look at these lovely maxi skirt - crop top pairs that I searched/found in google






Black or white are safe colors which go with mostly any print or floral skirt....

2. OFF THE SHOULDER

I love off the shoulder tops...and to pair them with a long maxi skirt....it just gives your photos a romantic, vintage-y feel... Here are some samples from google...






3 - LACEY TOP (LACEY TANK TOP)

A lacey top makes the whole look a bit more formal...if this is what you're looking for.... These images are from google...





4- CASUAL TANK OR TSHIRT

Going for a casual look, try wearing just a matching tank or tee... found these on google...









5 - LONG SLEEVES OR JACKET

Although it is hot out, sometimes wearing long sleeves or a jacket looks great with long maxi skirts just like these ...







6 - CORSETTE/BUSTIER

This i think has got to be one of my faves because its so feminine and sexy ...it can be formal or casual depending on how you wear it....





So here are just a few that I found that I thought were great....I will add more as i find more ideas... We can also study the poses of these beautiful ladies and imitate them for our shoot. I am so excited!!! ARe you....

Retouching Work

I've been kind away from this blog and actually photography in general. A lot of things have been going on but I've decided to start it all back again. I am working on a fresh new website for my portraits and in the process of setting up another one for retouching work. I've re-worked a few of my photos for the retouching websites... Original - And here is the after - I also wanted to take that branch out on the left hand side because it was quite distracting. So here it is without the branch. I also added a color enhancement on it to make the colors pop a bit more. Here is the second edit I worked on today. Original - I adjusted tones and contrast a bit. Then worked on the skin. Here is the result for that. I wanted to soften the lines under the eyes a little without completing removing it which would make it look too unnatural. Finally, i wanted his eyes to really pop. So here is the final image with an eye enhanceme...

Planning Stage for our Conceptual High Fashion Shoot

So last weekend we had a collab with a group of photographers and we used some of my gowns from my wardrobe collection for the shoot. I also adorned some of the models with the fused glass jewelry that I created previously. I had so much fun that I decided my 3rd FASHION FLIRTY OPEN SHOOT EVENT will be one indoors. This kicked off my planning stage. I wanted this shoot to be a fully thought out, conceptual shoot with full on accessories, jewelry and wardrobe.... I met with one of my makeup artists to talk about a few ideas and today i have created a fb group that would serve as the "meeting ground" for the concept shoot team that is on private...and ill only add those participating in the event. The concept i have decided on is THE ELEMENTS OF ALCHEMY.... each model with represent an element as envisioned by the designers.... EARTH...FIRE...WIND/AIR....WATER.... AETHER.... and a sixth element METAL.... here are some of the details for the planning stage... 1......
