White Blazer Fashion Shoot in Heat of Summer
August 18, 2020
After seeing a few fashion campaigns for fall trends, I was on the blazer train and immediately knew I wanted to plan a shoot around a blazer. So I started my search online and found that apparently a lot of other women were looking for blazers because I could not find one that wasn't sold out. One day I was out running errands and thought I'd stop by H&M to check it out- and lucky for me found this glorious matching pant suit that was EXACTLY what I was looking for without breaking the bank. Already, I've worn this blazer several times throwing it over a mini dress or with jeans and a tank for a good dinner look. It's so perfect and I love how it photographed.
Okay, these photos may look crisp and cool but holy cow we were dyingggg. We shot this on a Sunday morning, between 9am and 11am and I cannot describe to you how hot this morning was. Not only was it hot and humid, but there was hardly ANY breeze. So Joana (hair/makeup artist) and I were trying to keep Emily's (model) hair fluffed and prevent her makeup from running. Even the sand was hot, you guys! It was brutal conditions to work in.
​
To be honest.. I had no clue what kind of photos I was getting for these beach shots. I could barely see my screen. I directed Emily, made sure my focusing points were good to go, and left the rest up to chance. Looking at these photos now, I couldn't be happier with how these turned out!
Part 2 of this shoot we shot on the beach and in some palms. I hadn't planned on this but we left the direct sunlight on the beach because of the heat and harsh lighting. I ended up getting some of my favorite ever shots from this. That just goes to show that you can plan all you want, but go with the flow!
