This week started with shooting Collectif’s Spring and Summer collection. I was joined by Nicole Grzywok and Tara from the company, and the delightful models SINderella Rockafella and Cervena Fox. There were a lot of stunning outfits in some great fabrics; I am sure this collection is destined for success.
It was quite a hectic day – over 1200 shots, so we were all kept very busy, but such experienced models made my life very straightforward.
Preparing the pictures for use online and on posters was a little time consuming. Note to self for the future: cover or remove labels from the soles of shoes…it will save a lot of retouching time later!
I thought you might like to see a little behind the scenes – the shots the girls would rather you not see!

“How long until I get the finished images?”
We finished shooting late on Monday. By Tuesday the proof gallery was already posted and final image selections were being made by the company. The first lists were sent over to me on Tuesday and by Wednesday the finished images, formatted both for web use and for poster or flyer use were already back with the company. Within four days of the shoot they had 250 images and were posting them on their website!
Internet retailers need to know they can rely on getting quality images with minimal delay…time really is money.
You can already see the teaser shot below on the Collectif website.
