Fashion / Creative Portfolio

What is the essence of fashion and creative photography?

Fashion and creative photography delves beyond mere aesthetics, unfolding a narrative that celebrates both individuality and the collaborative spirit of the fashion industry. Through the lens, it captures the evolving trends and timeless styles that define the fashion realm. A model portfolio shoot, for instance, is a journey of self-expression, capturing the essence of a model’s versatility in front of the camera. This genre thrives on creative synergy, working closely with designers, stylists, and models, to create a visual spectacle that resonates with the audience. Operating in the vibrant backdrop of Boston and the New England area, each photo shoot embodies a unique blend of contemporary and classic fashion narratives, reflecting the eclectic tapestry of this region's fashion scene.

How do you collaborate with designers and stylists in a fashion shoot?

Collaboration is the cornerstone of a successful fashion shoot. It starts with a detailed consultation to understand the vision and aesthetics of the designers and stylists. Whether it's for a brand campaign or a model portfolio update, aligning the creative vision ensures that every frame captured tells a compelling story. In the thriving fashion hubs of Boston and New England, working harmoniously with designers and stylists is crucial to encapsulating the innovative and classic fashion narratives that define these regions. This collaborative process unfolds in a meticulously planned and executed photo shoot, where every element from wardrobe to lighting converges to create visually captivating images.

How can fashion photography elevate a brand?

Fashion photography is a powerful medium to elevate a brand. It translates the brand's ethos into visual narratives that captivate and resonate with the audience. In a bustling fashion marketplace like Boston and New England, impactful fashion photography can significantly bolster a brand's presence and engagement. Whether it's modeling headshots for a fresh face in the industry or an avant-garde campaign for a seasoned brand, the right imagery can transcend the ordinary, creating a lasting impression that drives brand recognition and affinity.

What's your approach to a fashion/creative shoot?

Each fashion/creative shoot is a bespoke venture tailored to the brand or model's unique narrative. From the initial consultation to understand the vision, to assembling a skilled team and selecting the perfect locale, every step is meticulously planned. Especially in a model portfolio shoot, the focus is on highlighting the model’s versatility and individuality. In the vibrant fashion scenes of Boston and New England, keeping a finger on the pulse of contemporary and traditional fashion narratives is crucial. Creating a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere is essential to foster creativity, ensuring each frame is a flawless blend of fashion and artistry.

What's the difference between a model portfolio and fashion shoot?

Our fashion package is designed for models that already have a portfolio or people who are looking to do something creative or for fun.The main difference between the two is one is a commercial/lifestyle model portfolio and the other is a fashion model portfolio. Our fashion package includes make-up/hair and a wardrobe stylist. A wardrobe stylist will reach out to you once we select a date and time, to get your sizes and vision. If you have a vision board on what you are looking for we love to see it beforehand to get the style and make-up down as well as any lighting or background choices. The commercial model portfolios do not include either make-up/hair or wardrobe but one or both can be added to any of the modeling packages.

 

What should I wear or bring to the shoot?

The choice of attire and accessories is pivotal in translating a creative vision into compelling visuals. It's advisable to have a variety of outfits that align with the envisioned theme, especially for modeling headshots where the right attire can significantly impact the final imagery. Bringing a diverse selection of accessories can add layers of creativity to the shoot. It's about crafting a visual palette that not only captivates the eye but also resonates with the brand's or model's identity and the storyline envisioned for the photo shoot.

How should I prepare for my fashion/creative shoot?

Preparation is the key of a successful fashion/creative shoot. Ensuring you're well-hydrated, well-rested, and have all necessary outfits and accessories is crucial. Prior communication to align on the creative direction, expectations, and desired outcomes is essential. Whether it's a brand campaign or a model portfolio shoot, laying a solid foundation ensures the shoot not only goes smoothly but the final images are a true reflection of the envisioned narrative. For our fashion package a make-up artist and wardrobe stylist is included in your session.

I have know Kevin for 13 years now . I visit Kevin once a month. As a model, and an influencer , Kevin is creative and flexible and does the best job with lighting . As a model you can understand I have shot with so many photographers and I always go back to him because honestly he’s the best. My kids are also actors and models and we go several times a year for updates and his work has helped them get work . We also do our annual family holiday cards and it’s always so much fun.

My daughter Payton and I are small town Vermont girls. I don't venture out often. I have no idea about anything fashion, but my daughter LOVES it. So for Chriatmas I booked a photoshoot with Kevin to work on her modeling portfolio. Super out of both our comfort zones. However, Kevin was super responsive right from the start, made my daughter feel so comfortable, he was personable and easy to talk with. We had a great experiance from start to finish! Thanks Kevin!

Highly recommend!! He took so much time selecting the right outfits and consulting with his hair and make up person to select the right color scheme for headshots. He also took so much care and effort in selecting the right background for the indoor part of the session. The environment was so relaxed and friendly as well. I would definitely, without question, recommend Kevin Day to anyone looking for a photoshoot.

Kevin's talent for photography is so exceptional, I'm a repeat customer! He has a killer work ethic, a great eye for detail, and is so personable and warm...you feel comfortable immediately upon walking into his studio. He travels, rearranges his studio, has great taste in music...it's a phenomenal experience working with him, and I highly recommend! His finished product is amazing...he just takes incredible photos!
