Fresh Beauty Editorial for L'Officiel Baltic
I had been talking with model Daphne Iaan, New Icon New York, for a few months, working on planning a shoot for publication. We decided on shooting a beauty editorial in my New York studio.
Daphne contacted makeup artist Gabriel Barse who brought on hair stylist Mariana Jiminez. It was my first time working with either of them.
I decided to light with an Elinchrom Spot Lite S 35. It is a modifier with a fresnel lens that cranks in and out to give a broad light or a narrow, focused spot light. For this shoot I had it cranked out for a tighter light with more fall off on the background, giving the images more mood. I shot against red and orange drapes. They have a really nice texture and give the photos a clean background with depth.
We were very excited to have the story published in L'Officiel Baltic. It is the perfect magazine for us to showcase our work!
