Behind The Scenes: EDGY Shoot

We teamed up again with Dani Malkin and she found us two new models Tayla and Tova to be part of the EDGY shoot. Here are the collages and mood boards we came up with.

We always have more fun shooting the same model second time around and that's what happened with Dani. She actually styled the shoot and created this chic & sleek pinboard: DTT EDGY SHOOT. When the photographers and models come together and both have a strong idea of the look and feel of the shoot, so much can happen. It's like we all learned a new language and were testing out words that turned into sentences and then full on paragraphs.

Shoot Preparation: Dani & Kathryn

Before every shoot we like to plan everything. We decide on a look and feel beforehand and the best thing to do is send our models a mood board/collage so that we can all be on a similar page.

We shot Dani and Kathryn this week. These are the style compositions we came up with.

Mia was inspired by Nirrimi's photography especially the more ethereal artworks. Playing with light and DIY filters is Mia's thing and I can't wait to share those photographs in the coming weeks.

I know Dani from Uni and she is huge on Pinterest -- check her boards out here: pinterest.com/danzmalkin/. I have been following her for a few years on Pinterest, so I actually used some of her pins in the collages because it felt like a reflection of her style.

The best part about styling a shoot is that you never know what it is going to look like when you're done. Dani introduced us to Kathryn and we trusted the two of them to style the shoot. We are loving the photographs!

Here's a sneak peek of the shoot ;)
