a story to tell...

When you have a consignment to do a photography spread, the idea/theme is given by the editor of the magazine for a particular issue. The brief could be one word/perception and this time it was the 'Christmas Carol' for the December issue of Chiller 31 magazine. Our styling team ("the girls") was determined for the viewer to be transported back to the 17th century. 

Casting Anja was essential, as she was the main factor that determined the ambiance of the storytelling of our Viscountess Conway. Choosing a model that isn't comfortable in front of the lens but has the knowledge behind-the-scenes was just magical for me and "the girls".

Contributing to the 17th century the clothes and props added to conceptualization that we were after. Carlingford Vintage Bazzar's clothes and The Posy Parlour's floral props fit the brief and more importantly, that they enhance on how I wanted the images to look like. Then the make-up artist and hair stylist was absolutely essential to pull everything together. 

All variables above were ROCKING!  The stylist, hair stylist and make-up artist kept focused on the whole vibe moving positive and nailed down what was needed to require the winning shot. Plus, having Anja playing along through the journey of emotions to grasp the concept of the consignment, BRAVA!
