Styling, photography and street casting, all in a days work

Photobucket
I worked on this epic Windsor Smith Advertorial for Fashion Journal magazine in the week before I left for New York. The Styling, photography and street casting were all done by me. Do you know how much work that is? A LOT! There is so much planning, stress and panic before a shoot, especially when you are doing EVERYTHING. However when it's as fun as playing with a huge box of amazing clogs and wedges it doesn't feel like work at all. I love how it all turned out on the page, I'm so happy so many shots were used, it was so hard to choose which to send because I loved them all. The day of the shoot was so rainy and overcast but we did our best with the available light and took cover at the nice cafe's down Bank Place when it began to rain again. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the help on the day of my wonderful assistant, Angela, who is going to be a styling super star very soon!

  5. Good job! I really like the shots, AND you even enticed me to click over to the Windsor Smith website where I liked quite a few of the styles. They should pay you a bonus!

  10. HAYLEY - You ALWAYS have the slickest looking blog. It is so clear how much focus and thought go into your posts and work here - I can't even imagine what you must be like in the non-virtual world.

    Great share and these shots look amazing. I am in the film industry so understand just how killer setting up shoots can be. You pull it off with grace and style. x.

  16. I think it's great to see all these amazing things you've accomplished Hayley! I'm from the Gold Coast and jumped out of my skin when I was given a copy of Fashion Journal for our Steve Madden Launch Party at work to see your name and the Windsor Smith shoot, I was so excited for you and found myself talking about you like I knew you!
    Hahaha, anywhooo, you're terrific, Good on you!
