Carytown Guide Fashion section, April 2014. The theme for this fashion shoot was "Under The Sea," and required a lot of post work in photoshop to achieve the underwater feel. The look of the cover headline, "Swept Away," was created by taking photos through a glass pitcher of water of a piece of transparency film floating in it. This was a fun project and I was able to work with a great team.

Carytown Guide Fashion section, July 2013. This was a really fun fashion shoot that took a great deal of time pre-planning. Working closely with both the editor and illustrator, we developed a comic book story line that would be able to show off the super hero inspired clothing that the stylist picked, and worked out realistic poses for the model that wouldn't involve having her getting too tired trying to hold in the photo studio. Sketches were finalized, and many hours of photoshop work were involved with making the model appear to be interacting with the monsters of her comic book world.
