dress up
I had this idea of a beautiful bored girl at home, trying on different outfits just to make time fo faster for a little while. I could see her in her room, which almost looks like mid-moving houses, laying on a beautiful black carpet, doing anything and everything to avoid the boredom and finally succeeding at it… for that one last shot. I wasn’t sure who to call to play the part so when Ana flew from Brazil to Argentina, I new she was the one. This was one of the first jobs she had in the country and being only 16, she was super professional and great to with. We even learned a little bit of portuguese!
I had a simple location so I knew the styling had to be fun and quirky but not too over-the-top. I went to Marina’s so that we both could put together all the pieces, including a great see-through coat she made herself. We went through hundreds of items, from a miniature schnauzer embroidered sweater to 6 inch aqua platforms, and everything in between. In the end, these three outfits seemed to work perfectly together and with the location as well.
Prior to the shoot, I told make-up artist Dolores about the concept and she loved the idea. I had in mind simple make-up but she took it to the next level using a beautiful orange-y tone for the lips and green eyeshadow, which I would have never thought would look so good! It brings out Ana’s gorgeous eyes and it comes full circle with the whole concept, as if she had been trying on some eyeshadows she found laying around.
Finally, I went home and checked the pictures immediately (as usual) and loved how it all came together. For the final selection, I decided to include some details like feet, hands or the up-side-down shot to give it more of a dynamic read.
