This fashion photograph for Auxiliary Magazine is one of my more recent favorites! Often when I do fashion photography it’s a fashion editorial or lookbook where I have several images to tell the story. I love the challenge of Auxiliary’s Must of doing it in one shot and on one page.
For the Summer 2016 installment of Auxiliary Magazine’s Must feature we chose frequent Auxiliary makeup artist Mallory Jay to model. It’s always fun getting those who are normally behind the scenes in the spotlight. Mallory nailed it and did the makeup and wig styling for this feature. We featured Danani’s Pewter Bohemian Headpiece, a beautiful vintage inspired headpiece. Auxiliary Fashion Editor Shannon Kramp styled and we shot it in Buffalo’s Ellicott Creek Park by all the beautiful willow trees there.
I shot the Fall 2015 Must feature for Auxiliary Magazine with Cats Like Us store owner Julie Ann Davis. I choose a Hell Bunny dress from their shop and was very excited to photograph her freshly colored orange hair. We shot on location by the Erie Canal where is travels through North Tonawanda.
I shot the Must feature for the Summer 2015 Issue of Auxiliary Magazine. Guy William Gane III modeled our must-have summer item, the Boardshort. I have had the pleasure of working with Guy a few times in the past and he is one of my favorite models in the Buffalo area to work with. We did this shoot on location with Lake Erie in the background.
For the February/March 2015 Issue of Auxiliary Magazine I shot the Must feature with a great team including Shannon Kramp as fashion stylist. The must-have featured piece was a wool tunic by Helmut Lang. I always enjoy shooting Must because it is a fun challenge to work on a shoot with the goal of getting just one great shot.
