My two youngest children play basketball in Ellensburg at Morgan Middle School. The gym at the school is old and the bleachers are all wood. It has this wonderful vintage look about it. I love this gym and decided to use it as a scene for one of my model shoots this year. This became the Vintage Beauty shoot and I wanted it to have a very high fashion look yet use simple ordinary elements in it. I asked the models to bring their prom dresses with them and I pulled together some fun props. I love the look of the warm wood and also the bright colored lockers. I used my elinchrome with a soft box and a flash head with a warm gel on it to light the girls hair and lockers. I pushed the images a little more than normal in post processing to give it a dreamy look. Thank you to all the models for making this shoot a big success and thank you to Gaylyn’s Salon for the hair and makeup.
