The Corset Shoot

Posted on by lizzusev

It all started when I picked up an antique Edwardian corset at a vintage shop for a great price.  Heather was due to visit, so I contacted my dream team costumer Celeste at Poppy Seed Roll and asked if we could get together and play with corsets.  We decided to have an Edwardian brothel shoot party with Heather, Lyz, and Michelle (makeup).  I was particularly delighted to have wardrobe and makeup in front of the camera this time!

Celeste did a killer job turning her living room into a photo set…so many perfect little touches everywhere!

Hilarity ensued as the girls interacted, pulled laces, added gin to their teacups…Madam Celeste wasn’t taking any guff!  I’m not sure I’ve ever laughed so hard at a shoot before.

I decided to play around with some vintage styles, next…

All in all, this was an uproarious (and naughty) collaboration with awesome people…Seattle, who’s next?

 

Swingtime!

Ok, not the music, but there was a swing involved!  It was my 15th anniversary yesterday, and my husband and I decided to celebrate with our second shoot with Mari, in a pretty fantastic studio space (Locket Space is SoDo Seattle).  Beautiful big windows, great light, and nifty set options, including this swing.

Mari, of course, is a joy to shoot.  Even watching her warm up is impressive!  I glanced over, and there she was on her back, kicking her legs all the way to the floor behind her shoulder.  Plenty more to come!

 

Tudor Fairytale

Tudor time!  Celeste of Poppyseed Roll Clothing and I got together with Jordan here for a royal, Tudor inspired shoot.  Celeste made this entire outfit, once again blowing my mind with her attention to detail.  Jordan made a perfect Tudor model, and don’t worry, managed to keep her head attached to her body.  We shot this at Saint Edwards State Park, one of my favorite places in the Pacific Northwest…the first shot is actually part of a playground…work with what you’ve got, right?
