Ethereal Ella
The goal of this photoshoot was to communicate a creative concept, and utilize the power of collaboration to achieve it. As a stylist, I took the idea from concept to creation by brainstorming a topic, finding and pitching to a creative team (photographer, model, and makeup artist), acquiring materials for the shoot (clothing, accessories, props), scouting for a location, organizing transportation/ food/ other logistics, and directing photography, makeup, posing, and final photo edits. The final outcome was a strong portfolio piece for each contributing member of the team, which was used to secure future roles that also developed my experience.
Storyline: Ella’s revelation that “we were not born to pay bills and die” hits home. In a quest for personal freedom and independence from the status quo, the girl decides to marry the concept of herself - she feels free to wear her best dress and dance alone, sing with the birds, and appreciate her surroundings in nature. After all, you only get one life to live.
