I've shot videos showing my picture-taking process before (you can see one in an abandoned train car here), but here's a newer one for your enjoyment. I might make a video describing the process and tips on how I work next--I'm always game to shoot more videos although it takes more time and I need more help than my typical shoots. My process in brief: I always use natural light, I use my purse as a stand-in to figure out the focus and other settings, then it's set the self-timer and dash! Honestly, I find it a rather awkward process so I quite dislike shooting around people. In the attempt of avoiding crowds I do find some beautiful places to shoot. My friend Jon shot and edited the video for me at my favorite abandoned barn. I hope you enjoy it!
Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see a video of. I'll hopefully be able to attempt it.
Some dresses prove to be a good investment the first time you wear them out. I knew I thought this dress was pretty and when it arrived in the mail I was pleased at how nicely it fit, but man, the instant I walked out the door the compliments started coming. It seemed like every friend I bumped into felt the need to tell me what a cool dress it was. I even was hit on by a guy when out with my friends with the line "that's a very pretty dress" (followed by a second approach five minutes later, "you're very pretty too, I didn't want the dress to get all the credit"). I'm very rarely approached by guys and most of my friends are quite used to seeing me in a dress, so I'm convinced this one is worth its weight in gold. I'm looking forward to enjoying this number for quite awhile to come.
Anna Sui sticks true to her sweet and bohemian aesthetic but prints and silhouettes are toned down and cooled up for this season's resort collection. Without the distractions of patterned tights, scarves and hats, matching printed skirt and sweater sets shine with logo tees beneath--giving ideas on how to break up actual vintage sets in a laid back style. It's the perfect collection for the summer palette: colorful, uncomplicated, and non-fussy.
