I was completely blown away by these little prints.......I have been wanting to try my hand at art direction and these just inspired a whole fashion editorial spread in my head.....more to come later...baby is crying!
Okay Im back. So I've been working through some ideas in my head about a fashion editorial where it's a girl on a field trip in a field somewhere around here, collecting things. In the shots she is fully styled but we never see her entire face...only her lips. She can be holding a book up to her face, binoculars, a map, an old Polaroid camera with bellows, a butterfly net...you get the idea. Then for the accessory shots there'd be a pair of brightly colored patent heels in the butterfly net with butterflies around it, or in the field grass with feathers around them, or on open book of field bird study drawings or other animals. A cool pair of long leather gloves draped over a stump... Maybe a cool bag shot with her field journals, magnifying glass, specimen jars, etc... spilling out of it. Specimen jars with brightly colored jewelry in it......Wardrobe could possibly be supplied by Cabin Fever....or not? I would like to try to have the wardrobe be more modern / folk than western...but we'll see what she has to offer anyway.
The photography style is very editorial and etherial....lots of moody dreamy like soft colors and softly blending horizon lines and shapes...very limited focus.
Things I have already for this shoot:
Feather collection
Old Polaroid camera with bellows
Cool old binoculars
Field journals, vintage illustrated book Birds if Field and Forest
Layouts so far.....
.Vintage blue tie jacket with modern highwasted and form fitting up top pants or something else ...stacked bracelets. Have binnoculars already.
Brightly colored, patent stacked wedge peep toes inside net, on round mossy stump top..netting could be colored. I only drew one shoe because Im lazy , it would be a pair of shoes..maybe style in the shape of a butterfly ?
Possibly one of Alyson Fox's wonderful pocket dresses in a neutral color...with a bright orange or pink net? Colorful flats with this dress. Butterflies on stump and one on her shoulder.
Possible locations:
Mushrooms Im getting....

...but Lonny magazine is a close replacement. Close. They do a good job of listing their resources and have fun little projects anyone can do. There's a DIY on making a very pretty chandelier that would look great in a nursery.
