It was a fun easy shoot in L.A. in easy urban clothes. As a wardrobe stylist I'm always challenged to not dress everyone in pretty vintage dresses and add cardigans and little hats to every ensemble... ^_^ so I was quite pleased with the beautiful images that were captured without it getting too girlie as I can very easily lean to.
Raina is one of the sweetest girls I've met, she's just like how she appeared on the show (which I asked many questions about... "what's Tyra really like?") I actually got to style Raina twice, those photos I'll post up once I receive more of them! I hope you enjoyed the photos!
You can view more of my styling work on my online portfolio www.rodellee.com but it's still under construction...
P.S. - If you feel like being jealous, Raina is wearing ONLY mascara in these photos. What a lucky gal!!! She says she gets her luminous skin from years of living in wintry cold Minnesota and washing her face and scalding hot water!
So beautiful. I love the styling you did. I kind of like that you did more simple, urban outfits (which I usually don't), rather than sweet and girlie. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE me some femme-retro, but the shots turned out great the way they are :}
ReplyDeleteThe composition of the shots is quite lovely (I can't wait to see the others!) and of course Raina looks gorgeous. Personally, I thought Raina should have won. She is definitely one of the more unique-looking girls they've had on the show. I love that twinkle in her eyes especially! So magical and mysterious :}
I really, really want that studded fringe vest in the last shot too, btw. Lol.
