MadHouse Style Collab
I, like many photographers, understand that the perfect photo isn't solely taken, but in fact it's produced by a team of creatives. In light of my goals to bring awareness and proper spotlight the stylists that help set the stage for our models to bring our photos to life, I want to start a video and photo series revolving around local boutiques and the creative minds behind them. I want these videos to be an opportunity for the stylists to showcase not only their stylings but also their personality and their creative processes. This is also an opportunity for the model to express what it is they look for when styling themselves, or how they use their styling to help create their shape and posing with the given theme in mind.

The Photo Portion
Jon will run through a 1 hour photography session with Mallory. Our goal is to capture both the styled theme and the model as authentically as possible. You are free to share any creative process info, but the main priority for this video is to capture BTS footage. Feel free to make random commentary throughout the shoot and have fun!
The Video Portion
Mads and Mallory will run through the styling process. The Stylist will lead the commentary with Model feedback as you would in a normally styling. As you start narrowing down your options, speak freely and describe why you are doing so. It doesn't have to be profound, we just want to hear your thoughts! Watch the video banner above for some examples.
Jon will record his thoughts and planning Vlog style with the Lumix to ensure Greg has clear focus and time with the stylist.
Video Interview Mood Board
Greg and I will be aiming for this level of quality for the interviews/testimonials. We will focus on keeping a shallow DoF and keeping our talent in their respective 1/3 of frame. (1/3 side TBD)
Video BTS Portrait Mood Board
Greg and I will be creating our own respective takes on a video portrait in between any downtime or looks between changing or at the end (Mostly set for reels content for the Model/Photog)
Photo Mood Board
Contact Mads for information on inspo/share the Pinterest board with Jon to update here!
