We just had our photo shoot with our amazing photographer Caleb. Brashani and Collete dressed in their outfits, wigs and straight jackets and posed for a few hours. We shot everything in the basement of the Footlight Club in Jamaica Plain.
Now here's an interesting thing about the straight jackets. We really lucked out on those. Brashani wanted a very distinct look for the outfits. She had envisioned torn up straight jackets, with additional buckles. In addition, she wanted Roxie and Velma to be in glamorous makeup and garters and bras. We searched high and low then finally went to Amazon and found them there. For like...30 bucks each. Pretty sweet. She got them over to Robyn, our costume designer, and she shredded them up. The lower midsections were torn up and additional buckles were added. I could talk talk talk about it, but you really need to see the pictures. The concept was pretty awesome.We had straight jackets and glam on the backdrop of a dark and dingy basement that really gave the feel of an asylum.
We had some pretty amazing shots. We could tell Brashani and Collete were having fun.
A nice contrast was created between the glam and asylum look. As quickly as it was over, the next day, Caleb sent us the contact sheets and everything looked amazing. We need to pick out a few then send them off to be touched up.
I don't want to give away too much, but I can tell you straight up, it will be really hard to pick our favorites!
Stayed tuned for the finished photos!
- Brashani and Christian
