Fashion Shoot at Loft on Lake

Last weekend, I was invited to a fashion shoot by a recent acquaintance and fast friend, Steve Garrett. He owns an incredibly beautiful studio, called Loft on Lake, just west of downtown Chicago. He has been long-time friends with Stan Malinowski, a fashion photographer whose work covered Vogue, Bazaar, Playboy and Penthouse, who helped organize the shoot and continues to snap away.

I was there as an observer and documentarian, photographing what was happening off the all-white drop. The makeup artists, hairstylists and clothing stylists were all hard at work making the models appear their best. This work environment was relaxed, casual and purely enjoyable. I felt so lucky to be handed over the sync and allowed to shoot with the full lighting set up at points.
