Elegant Red on a White Canvas

Now days almost everyone runs from color! But I absolutely hands down love every bit of it. I’d hate to assume but my guess is that most people don’t utilize it for being afraid of it. Yes it can be tricky to photograph someone in a red shirt in plain sunlight but it can be done when you have all the right elements.

This shoot was a difficult one. A lot of work went into the shoot but it was worth it. Both models were amazing! The red dress was actually made by me, on the spot! I forgot the other gown at home and whipped this one up with a piece of fabric that was originally supposed to be a table cloth and some safety pins!

Everything was beautiful and balanced out just perfect. While I didn’t get to have my tablecloth as originally planned it was well worth it. The gown even flowed in a way I never imagined! Gown of my dreams. If there was something Id add, it would be more of a cape and a tad bit more fitted. But there’s only so much you can do with safety pins!

So back to the shoot! I had a white canvas! I could dream up all the combinations possible. So I did RED. Yes, such a feminine and bold color. I see a woman wear red and I see a strong, confident, and decisive woman. But with this shoot I wanted the opposite. I wanted red, but I also wanted delicacy, fragile, and somewhat innocent look. I knew I had to have a model with strong yet soft features, dark hair for sure (so the black could balance out with the red), a model who could give me the innocent vibe to the shoot. She couldn’t have been more perfect!
