We shot the spread at the lovely Regent Palms Resort and featured resort wardrobe from their Spa and Wish Boutiques.

Our local models included several past and current contestants and the winner of the 2014 TCI Top Model Contest, Brielle Swann.

This was my first time working with local make-up artist Thea Lowe,  who I was thrilled with.  This was also my first opportunity to book the young beauty Je’Cannya below.  She has such a versatile look and remarkable professionalism considering she’s only 15!

Discover 2014 Fashion Spread

fashion13_0001

In August of 2013, Tropical Imaging and I did this shoot for the 2014 issue of Discover Magazine.  The fashion spread focused on local designer Kazz Forbes and featured attire from his Saint George Fashion House label.  We shot at the stunning Windermere,  a perfectly bright white and modern location to profile such a vivid collection.  Lucky for us, the owner is quite the fashionista herself and despite having extended family in, she granted us permission.

We used a beautiful bevy of local models, including the 2013 Miss Turks and Caicos winner Snwazna Adams.

fashion13_0046  I love when the rookie steals the show!  Felicia absolutely killed it in this emerald gown!  This young teen took direction like a pro.  When coming up with the creative direction for this shoot I kept imagining these elegant gowns with movement, allowing the light chiffon fabrics to create dynamic compositions.  Felicia understood perfectly and the result, a few of my favorite fashion shots I have ever styled for:fashion13_0049 fashion13_0051 fashion13_0053 fashion13_0054 fashion13_0055 fashion13_0061 fashion13_0064 fashion13_0066 fashion13_0067 fashion13_0077

Another couple of images which capture the gorgeousness of these hand embellished gowns, featuring sisters Frenica and Felicia.

After an amazing morning session, we headed out on Eden Yacht Charters for an afternoon lifestyle and cover shoot.  We tried our best to get a split shot of both underwater and above water however both swell and visibility worked against us.  We hope to see that idea come to fruition for a future issue.  Big thanks to everyone who participated and made this shoot such a success!
