Long time no see! I've been super busy and haven't been able to blog much. I know that's a rubbish excuse but i really have. Earlier this month Chris and i did a shoot for Hunger TV which was cowboy themed. Initially when we went on appointments to pull items we thought to ourselves "where on earth are we going to find Chaps and Cowboys hats/ boots". Then Chris made the point that because it's cowboy themed doesn't mean we have to take it to literal. Best advice I've been given. Fashion tends to be Over the top and complicated when in fact sometimes the minimal and toned down elements can look much better and more believable. Chris used the southern cowboy as a reference. Their look is toned down and they don't necessarily wear chaps and ponchos. Their looks is shirt off, jeans, boots and a cowboy hat.
The make-up artist: Holly Silius. Managed to do a great job. She made the models look very dirty and gritty and it was quite believable if i must say. The hair stylist was also great he made the hair look effortless and it worked well around the brief.
Chris managed to call in some amazing Stetson hats to add the more obvious 'cowboy' element of the shoot. The look was based around Shirts and Denim. We were going to shoot from a field at first but the Photographer Amar managed to get hold of a Stable which was 25 minutes away. The stable owners were lovely. They allowed us to shoot with some amazing horses and also use some saddles. The scenery on the farm was amazing they had hay stacks , tractors and open field space.
The brands used in the shoot were mostly: Edwin Denim, Harry Stedman shirts and Grenson boots.
Also check out another current shoot posted on Hunger by Chris and i.
(This was my first time touching a fully grown horse. I now like horses. Haha.)
