Couture in Milwaukee

In mid October I was contacted by photographer Matthew Bushey to put together a pro-bono ad for a high-end gown boutique in Milwaukee to benefit the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra for their Symphony Style event (a big couture fashion show held every year at the art museum in Milwaukee). We shot two models down on the beach in Dana Point, California. The makeup was dramatic and I focused the attention on the eyes. The ad (shown above) was run as a full-page spread in the hardcover Symphony Style publication. The proceeds from this non-profit event went towards music curriculums for public schools in the area.

Rip Curl Summer ’09 Shoot

The Rip Curl Summer ’09 line was shot at the serene Bergamot Spa & Boutique in Encinitas, CA. Flown in the night before from Hawaii, Jet Set's Calli Wagner was in her element within this lush and tropical escape. I did her hair differently for almost every outfit but her makeup stayed the same thought; a beautiful bronzed beach babe! The photographer was Stephen Zeigler who has worked on past campaigns for companies such as Quicksilver, Microsoft, Roxy, and Converse. The day was very laid back and everyone’s attitude was cheerful and positive...a good balance of work and play!
