Bold & Bright Fashion Inspired Shoot at Salvation Mountain (with Behind-the-Scenes Video)
We believe there are many types of Adventures. People are inspired by many different things. Places, fabrics, a landscape, makeup... so we always love it when creative people come together to make magic.
Each person can bring to the table their talents and expertise. From the makeup artist who paints a beautiful palette of colors and flawless skin, a photographer who utilizes their camera and lighting techniques to capture contrast and tones that aren't always seen to the naked eye -- to the model who flows and moves in front of the lens to capture a feeling and moment. The results are always something to be proud of. That's why we are sharing this fashion-inspired shoot today at the iconic Salvation Mountain in California.
I've always been intrigued by Salvation Mountain near El Centro and traveled there recently to shoot with sisters, Patricia and Débora Vaz. Because it is so colorful there, I wanted all of the fashion to reflect that bold and bright style as well. I worked closely with the models to stylize the shoot for the perfect look(s). We hit it at the perfect time of day and got some great imagery! Enjoy!
