Punk Vegas

This was a school-directed editorial photoshoot assignment intended to simulate a realistic work environment.

 

Working with a professional photographer, hair/makeup artist, and model, I was tasked with styling two looks according to a brief given to six other stylists as well. This presented a challenge, as the group’s goal was to maintain cohesion across 12 looks and keep the model’s hair and makeup the same throughout.

 

The group’s aim for “Punk Vegas” was for the looks to lean campy, gaudy, and Western.To execute this vision, I pulled pieces from various secondhand and vintage stores. I also handmade the cowboy hat accessory that ended up being the main focal point of one of my looks.

 

Once final photos were delivered, I colour-corrected, retouched, and laid out the images to further reflect the intended vision of the brief.
