Old Hollywood Glamour

Inspired by the looks of Greta Garbo, Rita Hayworth and Elizabeth Taylor, our group packed into the studio to recreate some of the looks (both fashion-inspired and lighting-inspired) of some of the old Hollywood stars. The key to this look, from a photographic point, is strong, harsh, side-lighting and a fairly strong hair light. Fashion-wise, this look calls for darker make-up, long eyelashes and probably most importantly - accessories!

Not only did the photographers nail this shoot, but the models stepped up and brought their A-Game. I think it helps that a lot of our models just suit this look from the get-go.

Make-up and hairstyling by Natasha Humbert. Models were Kortney, Morgan and Lisa. Photographers were Kelly, John and Cathryn.

Now, on to the pics!

Fall Fashion Photo Shoot | Apple Grove Farms, Mexico NY

We were recently given the opportunity of shooting at a (dare I say "picture"?) perfect Fall location - the Apple Grove Farm. An overcast day with a sprinkling of rain couldn't put a damper on this one. The location had tons to offer in the way of backgrounds and props - rows of apple trees, heavy with fruit; old tractors; apple crates; weather-beaten barns and even a playground.

The models (Morgan, Keria, Alicia, Aubrey & Lisa) arrived with a wide variety of looks. Everything from classy, fashion inspired to country casual was represented. You can see some samples from the shoot below. For more great images, head over to our Facebook group page and click "Like"! Now, on to the images:
