FASHION PHOTOSHOOT

SUMPTUOUS SUMMER

Garnet & Black Magazine is the official student publication of USC. I planned and directed the style section photoshoots. While Columbia is known for being “famously hot”, to students it is also known for being “famously dead” during summer breaks since a huge portion of the city’s population leaves town. The goal behind “Sumptuous Summer” was to shift the student perception of staying in Columbia for the summer. This issue’s theme revolved around a jet-setting couple’s summer vacation in the 1950’s. The clothing was sourced from local retailers and my personal collection.

I developed the concept, selected the locations, hired the models, sourced clothing, lead styling, and photographed the shoot for the online edition. I also secured the most expensive prop used in G&B history; an airplane branded with the USC insignia. For a full list of the team please watch the video below.
