Light and Shadow: A Fashion Editorial

In my last blog post, I mentioned I had some more work in store for you. I’m happy to share that my latest editorial has been published in Sheeba Magazine!
 

The series, titled Light and Shadow, was inspired by the way shadows add a sense of dimension to an image. I don’t shy away from using shadows in my work, but in this instance, I wanted to make it as stark as possible, which led me to shoot a number of the images in black and white. Another source of inspiration was the work of fashion and commercial photographer Lindsay Adler. After examining her black and white work, and watching one of her Creative Live classes in which she used hard light, I felt compelled to try it for myself. I compiled a mood board and then reached out to model and designer Anna-Lisa Guthrie, who I felt had the perfect look to pull off a shoot like this. I also contacted the super talented Dominique Mitchell to do make-up, and fellow photographer Jik-Reuben Pringle to be my lighting and digital technician. 

 The outfits provided by Anna-Lisa were an almost exact match with the idea I had in mind, and the shoot went swimmingly (as can be expected when working with a great team). I have to give a big thank you to Sheeba Magazine for publishing our work! In addition to this, one image in particular is also currently on display at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in the 2018 Faculty Exhibition. The work is on display in the CAG[e] Gallery at the college, and runs from the 6th of March to the 20th of March, so feel free to go have a have a look!
