On Tuesday I worked with my fellow colleagues to make a collaborative series of studio shots. I have never used studio lighting in any of my photos before until now. In this series I wanted to experiment with different light situations. In the up coming shoot the Idea of our project is to make a dramatic editorial shoot. In these photos I was being to conjure up a multitude of ideas by moving around the light so it could flatter the subject without of making them look blown out. I really wanted to focus on the clothing of the subject because of the stark contrast of the colour. One of the things that stood out to me in these photos is the necklace of the subject. I had an issue with capturing the fine details of the hair because of the black background and the subject having dark hair. So I decided to add a lot of movement to the hair of the subject. By doing this it caused the hair and jewelry to stand out more. The lighting was very flattering to the subjects hair which created a lovely colour palette to compliment her hair and outfit all together. After doing this shoot it helped me come up with more ideas for the shoot. Now I most definitely will have an idea for the lighting and theme of our shoot. What is to happen is a secret and you’ll have to wait until next!

My ‘go to’ outfit. I usually wear a loose pair of jeans along with a billowy blouse when I am out and about the city. Some days I will add a cute pair of stack-heeled booties to spice it up a little so I won’t look like a complete hippy. I recently bought a book bag from Earthbound Trading which is a very chill and spiritual store. I fell in love with this bag after spotting the Ganesh printed on it. I purchased the distressed jeans from Ross not too long ago. I loved that there were a lot of tears in the pants because currently, it's blazing hot in Chicago. I had bought my blouse from Forever 21 when I was in D.C. Forever 21 isn’t the cheapest place to shop at but it can be worth the expenses. My shoes are purchased from Amazon. I personally am not the most wealthy person you’ll ever meet, but cheap things can look super cute. I had a budget at the time and these shoes were on clearance and were absolutely gorgeous.The specific brand is called Forever and they sell affordable shoes online. The most expensive thing in this entire outfit is the purse. I go this when I was strolling through the Roosevelt collection and saw Francesca's. Francesca’s isn’t a cheap store to buy things, but if you have the money and are in need of a cute accessory then I totally recommend shopping at Francesca’s!
Until next time!

Laden is a teacher and student of SAIC. I met her in the south garden next to Art Institute of Chicago taking photos. Her outfit gave me a hipster and laid back vibe. She bought her layered outfit from Discovery which is a cool way to dress up a tank top. Her pants were purchased at Target. I loved the pastel acid wash jeans which is paired with a muted mauve vest shirt which is also purchased from Discovery. Her outfit is perfect for a nice outing with friends at the park or just simply window shopping by yourself.
