Naoma Norette: Fashion Designer

Vivian Compton, is a fashion designer and former celebrity stylist. We did a shoot showing off her "Naoma Norette" Spring and Summer Collection. The models, assistants, and make-up artist were amazing! Vivian wanted to show the texture of the wall and have simple, yet slightly dramatic lighting.

Here are just a few unretouched images from our shoot.

If there is a will... there is a way!

My cousin and I were catching up with one another at her place one evening when she asked me if I wouldn't mind doing an artistic photoshoot with her. 

I happened to have a lightkit in my car from a previous session that week and I never leave home without a camera so.... we brought it all in and got to work on configuring a makeshift studio. 

A picture of my cousin and I.


 The Makeshift Studio:
-Empty Room
-Model
-Black Fabric
-Painters Tape
-Fan
-Studio Light Kit
-Camera
-Wide Angle Lens



Here is a Sample of the Final Product...



So the moral of the story? If there is a will, there is a way.
