This was my first fashion spread I did for a lifestyle magazine called A-List International. The stylist and creative director Reinaldo Irizarry wanted to incorporate boots with couture dresses for an edgy appeal. We also had the models styled with wavy up-dos and contoured makeup. We shot at Chic Little Devil Style house. We planned to shoot on a bright sunny day, but then the clouds came and was starting to drizzle. I decided to use this opportunity to go for an apocalyptic quality with the dramatic clouds in the background. I also applied a slight green cyan cast throughout the images for mood purposes. The editor ended up selecting the images that were going to be published. I did the post production and they said I went overboard on the contrast, sharpness, diffusion and color tinting so some of the images were altered. Overall it was a great and fun shoot and can't wait to do more projects like this. Too bad A-List stopped printing that month. It would have been nice to have a front cover in my book.
