A Fashion Shoot for Millo Designs

I photographed 24 outfits for Millo Designs this week: all beautifully tailored, sophisticated and sexy, many of them sort of harem girl outfits, while others were long, evening dresses.

Very elegant, incredible detailing with diaphanous layers, brocades, and tremendously fine fabrics.


I set up and lit a white background for about two-thirds of the shoot, then switched to a deep black backdrop and more directional lighting, plus a grid spot on a boom for the hair light to give separation and drama.

The pictures are for a buyers' catalog and Millo's website.

We shot all 24 outfits in my studio in 10 hours -- I'm still tired from that and the digital post-production work, but the client loved the pictures. "Beautiful," she wrote, "Congratulations."
