My life has been absolutely crazy lately. Literally. I haven’t had time to do what I love in a few weeks; sew… draw… SHOP!
Instead, it’s just been a wicked whirlwind of finishing up school projects, exams, papers, more exams and studying.
Anyways, time has opened up considerably and I did manage to use the *few* spare moments I’ve had since my last post culminating two things. One of which is this post, and another one scheduled for Monday. Wow.
I’ve come up with a new concept for After a Fashion which I believe may be quite interesting: Pocket shoots - read: pocket photoshoots, or microshoots if you’re so inclined :) And this happens to be my first one! A pocket shoot, by my definition consists of a mini-editorial between three and five outfits.
As you know, other editorial spreads that I’ve done have costed me a great deal of money (considering location, makeup, clothing and jewelry et al), and probably most importantly: time, a precious resource which I haven’t seen in a long time. It’s odd seeing as how even though I work more, I do that whole “school” thing a whole lot less. As such, I wanted to see if I could accomplish an entire shoot for under $50 and only spend a few hours in aggregate.
Hard right? It was, surprisingly! It only took two trips to vintage/thrift stores for the apparel though, (luckily I had a bunch of makeup and jewelry left over from my last shoot) and several hours to actually take the pictures - with me as photographer. I’ve found that I like being Shoot Director/Stylist/Designer more, but with a two man/woman team, I’d say that this turned out to be rather successful!
But anyway, now to the fun part!
