Viv Magazine asked us to style a fitness segment for their January/February 2012 issue and we were thrilled to do so! So about two weeks ago, we took part in the shoot in Los Angeles.
Days and sometimes weeks before the shoot even happens, we have to “pull” pieces from different vendors & designers to create several looks for the shoot – some looks will be used, some will not be used. So obviously, prep is one of the most important things when it comes to any photo shoot and here we had boxes and boxes of fitness wear delivered to our office for the shoot.
There’s a pretty standard “stylist kit” when it comes to styling which usually includes pins, tape, a sewing kit, a lint roller, bobby pins, clothes pins, and clasps, to name a few… But we found these clasps comical because they are so big! We decided to have a little fun with them because these take the cake for the biggest clamps we’ve ever seen! I mean seriously, they’re huge & can definitely do some damage.
With all photo shoots, there’s a team of people that help everything come together. Here we have Katie chatting with a make-up artist from the Celestine Agency, Patrick Tumey.
Then of course, our models from Ford in their fitness gear…
And a couple more behind-the-scenes shots, including our models, hair stylist Giovanni Giuliano also from the Celestine Agency & photographer Giuliano Bekor.
