Winter always means plenty of studio work.

This shoot featured a vintage 1930s era bias cut velvet dress with a long train, a vintage head piece, and even vintage shoes correct to the era purchased from a great store across the street from Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.

Modeling the ensemble is Angel Goa and make up/hair ably done by Anu Hämäläinen at sostylish.net.

This was a very enjoyable shoot with model Molla Mills.  She effortlessly captured the 1930s vamp from whom all good wives hid their husbands.  Molla is modeling an authentic 1937 silk “Liquid Midnight” dress.  Hair and makeup was done by professional make up artist Lotta Eloranta with additional styling by Molla herself.  And I had the pleasure of working with fellow Helsinki photographer Marko Saari on this shoot.

This was a very enjoyable marathon 5 hour shoot north of Helsinki.  The models are wearing authentic antique period clothing and embodied the spirit of the clothing perfectly.  Make up and hair were done by the very talented Lotta Eloranta and I had the pleasure of styling the models.  This was a collaborative shoot with fellow Finnish photographer Marko Saari.

Spring is finally here in Finland and I am booking fast.  As such, I’m having to find time between shooting and processing and only have two images to show for now.  But I look forward to going through and processing the rest of the outfits!

Model Katarina perfectly embodies the spirit of the Guilded Age 1908 era wool travel suit and cotton broderie anglaise petticoat.
