London Themed with an air of Luxury
At Companion Picture House, we are always on the lookout for exciting opportunities to showcase our skills and creativity and work with interesting and thoughtful brands. So when we were approached to photograph the luxury scarf brand, Asakeade, a theme of "London chic with an air of luxury," we were thrilled. The prospect of working with a high-end brand such as Asakeade was such a dream, and the concept of creating a visual representation of London's luxury fashion scene was equally exciting. We knew that this photoshoot would require meticulous planning and attention to detail, but we were up for the challenge and eager to bring Asakeade's vision to life.
Planning the Shoot
To ensure that our photoshoot for Asakeade was a success, we spent considerable time planning every detail. One of the most important decisions we made was selecting the perfect location. We chose the upmarket area of Kensington for its modern and vibrant streets, which we felt would provide the perfect backdrop for showcasing Asakeade's luxurious scarves. We also decided to include some of London's unmistakable landmarks, such as Big Ben and the London Eye, to add a sense of grandeur to the images. With our location and concept finalized, we set about creating a mood board that would guide the creative direction of the shoot. The mood board helped us to visualize the overall look and feel we were trying to achieve, and we used it to plan everything from the models' wardrobe to the makeup and hairstyles. By taking the time to plan every aspect of the shoot, we were able to ensure that we captured the essence of Asakeade and delivered stunning, high-quality images.
Behind the Scenes
It was so nice to have my friend Elisheba there as my assistant, keeping everyone watered and fed and assisting with styling. We arrived at the location early to set up and prepare for the day ahead. We worked with three models on the day, one of which was the brand owner. This was so lovely, her passion and love for her products was so infectious and I'm so happy that we were able to captured the brand's vision perfectly. The day that the shoot happened to be on ended up being one of the hottest days of the year so we had to work fast to ensure the models were able to rest in the shade when ever possible. Despite the heat, the atmosphere on set was so fun, focused and motivated.. In the end, we captured some breathtaking images that perfectly represented Asakeade's luxurious brand.
