Last weekend, my amazing team and I embarked on a trip to Central Park at the crack of dawn in below freezing temperatures to capture the final shots for our Styling for Visual Presentation class. We'd finally made it to the last group project of the semester and were given the opportunity to shoot on location, something I was so excited to do. You can't beat natural light!
The aim of this project was to take a garment, in our case the cheerleader jumper (or 'sweater') featured below, and choose a location inspired by the outfit. Immediately we knew we wanted to capture the typical American varsity feel, and where better to do it than on the chain fences and bleachers of a ball park. These particular fields we found in Central Park. We were initially reluctant to use this famous location as we didn't want our shoot to look at all touristy or too 'green'; we wanted to achieve a moodier shot and I think we managed it!
We used the same model from our previous project and also collaborated with a photographer for the first time ever. We could not have achieved shots like these without both of them! This shoot was a great insight in to styling and location scouting for fashion editorials, and we are so happy with the outcome.
We met at 7am which meant when we were leaving our rooms the sun hadn't even risen and the temperatures were literally freezing cold. Personally, my toes felt like they were about to drop off, so I can't even imagine how Andrea managed to rock some of the skimpy outfits. She was absolutely amazing; you wouldn't even know we were in the depths of winter in New York from the outcome. We celebrated the wrap of our photoshoot with a trip to Levain bakery on the Upper West Side to try their famous cookies - delicious!
Check out the rest of the shots below.
