For most of my shoots I have an idea first and choose the clothing and all the details around that idea. This shoot was backwards for me and when Sally and Violet’s (MDT Agency) mom Stephanie sent me the outfits she had in mind for our shoot I immediately envisioned this black and white illustrated circus. I wanted the illustrations to be real things and not added later in Photoshop so I had the nice challenge painting giant props and cutting endless cardboard to make them sturdy. It was a lot of fun though and the circus tent actually lived in my office for a while because I liked it so much.
This shoot was featured over on the Babiekins Magazine blog. You can view the main feature with credits there but here are some of the outtakes that weren’t published. =)
