One of the things I love to do most as an interior stylist would be styling for photo shoots. I guess having worked on camera as a professional model shooting various TV ads and print shoots has helped me learn the essentials of styling for camera. I learned to pay attention to details, cheat on angles based on what will favor the camera and do minor instant fix ups for a shoot. I also had a short stint in production design as shopper and assistant stylist for television ads. I think the hardest one I worked on was the Jet Li San Miguel Beer Ad where Manny Pacquiao was also in.
The last styling shoot I did was for a brand I was excited to work with. The carpenter is a religious concept store with decorative products like artisanal crosses and scripture boards. When I got an email from them, I was excited. I brain stormed for a concept to casually present and shopped for accessories and loads and loads of flowers, grass and leaves for this shoot. I was blessed to have been allowed to hold the shoot at a friends lovely home which provided that perfect setting.
The outcome was great and though admittedly, I did not have concrete concepts for the vignettes until that day; working with a talented photographer, Jamie made things easier. Here are some photos.. Hope you like them!
Here I am caught so serious behind the scenes.
Careful attention to detail placement is always necessary.
