Photoshoot collection

Secrets Reposed Photoshoot

After months of getting things set up, I was able to get this shoot under my belt. It's an idea that's been rolling around my head for quite a while so it was time to get it put into photos. I had two amazing models, makeup/hair stylist plus my 2 assistants. I couldn't have asked for a better crew! The whole idea for this shoot was to combine a little gothic intentions with some victorian dress. Needless to say, they are familiar to each other but just on very small measures. I wanted the intensity of the gothic but the subtle touch of feminism . I decided to make the photos more grainy/dirty once editing came about. It lent that final touch of grunge I love so much.

Our location was in a church in Uptown Minneapolis. This building used to be someones home then later became the church. It was beautiful inside! From the wanes coating, furniture, light fixtures, to pretty much every detail in the space, we were able to shoot in tons of different places. Here are some phone pics:
After hair/makeup got done, Rin and Seamus were ready to shoot! After shooting the duo together, we did the solo portraits. I had a little surprise for them and brought out the fog machine for some special effects. We wanted that "chilling" factor to add more character to the finished photo. We had some problems getting it to correctly work on the stairs but it worked perfect once we got in front of the fireplace. After a hard days work, we got some fantastic photos taken! I was very proud of everyone's hard work and took the boys out for dinner to celebrate. Until the next collection, this will hold us over for a little bit ;)

So here are some shots from the day including some behind the scene shots.

After the collection was shot, I got my makeup/hair stylist in on her own little shoot. Chelsea has been a muse of mine for the last year, so it's always a blast working with her. Here's a taste of her portraits!
