I wanted to let you all in on a story that I just shot with photographer: Nick Merzetti, Make Up and Hair Designer: Sasha Simler, Model: Dora Bloom Stylist Assistant: Pablo Correa and me, as creative director.
Now on with the story!!
A very good friend of mine introduced me to his new girlfriend Dora, he had mentioned prior, that he thought she would make and awesome model. And shortly after meeting her, I totally agreed!
Thinking about the story in my head, and trying to figure out what the characters were going to be, and how they would work in translating the visuals into a sequence that everyone can relate to.
I am sure many of you have heard of Dora the Explorer, well Dora became the first character, a sophisticated proper 1920s-1940s Parisian explorer, that has great focus on her career and her success. Feeling like she's lost touch with a very important side of her, but doesn't know what it is. Deciding to take off on an expedition to find this missing piece, Dora boards a train and heads back to where it all started.
As Dora continues her search, another character comes out to play, and vivacious and care free girl, loving the earth and trees as they embrace her carefree spirit. Taking off on her daily wander about the woodland realm she calls home, she begins to notice things around that she had never seen before, a wooden box lays behind her near a tree that she spends most of her time in.
Soon enough the two characters finally cross each others path, the explorer realizes the person standing before her is a reflection of her self, or rather who she used to be. Our nature girl is sprawled out on a tree in bright yellow and the evening shade falling on her face, as she calls Dora back to her. Does she go?
The story other than the character definitions above, is open to your own interpretation. So feel free to share your thoughts :)
I will post the pictures soon, once I have decided who's going to print them ;)
