Over the course of one very long & productive day, I teamed up with photographer Nick Aldridge as he opened up his photo studio in the Observatory neighborhood in Cape Town. Together, we invited photo industry professionals & crew to have their portraits taken & share their story with us.
Crew Love: Hair & Makeup Artist Morgan Blaul
Last week, NYC welcomed Chicago hair & makeup artist Morgan Blaul to the city. I've traveled the US with this lady and am always impressed by her positivity, energy, work ethic and talents. Her studies in painting as well as her technical training certainly laid a strong foundation for her work. A true creative collaborator, Morgan also lends her talents to art direction. Check out her website & work here: www.morganblaul.com
Crew Love: Stylist Steph Shoemaker
It's not just her utilitarian take on a Marni-inspired necklace, but also her work ethic, sense of humor & keen eye that we love about stylist Steph Shoemaker. Seen here on set with photographer Jill Greenberg, for the agency Taxi NY. Check out her website here: www.stephanieshoemaker.com
Crew Love: Chicago H&M Karen
Karen has been part of our Chicago team for nearly 10 years. Her calm energy, sweet demeanor and light touch with the foundation airbrushing makes her a perfect fit for lifestyle shoots. She also happens to be the city's #1 eyebrow sculptor!
Crew Love: UK Stylist Lucy
Thanks to the lovely Clem for the intro to the talented London-based stylist Lucy Butler.
