ss2012 is Ready!

I have finally loaded the new bags to the store.   New belts will be added soon enough as well, a few new colours and a little behind the scenes shoot Sergio did with me the day of the shoot to show you how some of it is done.

 

ss2012

My favourite Spaniard aka Sergio de Luz gave me a light tent for photographing product (I don’t know what the official name is…) for Christmas.  It had a tripod and everything and I cannot tell you how excited I was to use it.  I thought once I had the right light and proper equipment it would be a breeze…not so, it took me three attempts over 3 days to get it right.  One day I had it pitched too high, the next day it was overcast, and then third time was a charm and I got my shots I wanted this morning.   It was not as simple as I thought, but I’m really pleased with the outcome and now that I kind of know how it should be done the next time (fingers crossed) will be a cinch.

So, I have yet to make all the bags in all the colours but all styles will come in any of the ones photographed below.

jessica - tomato

crystal satchel - olive

katie tote - blush

katie clutch - electric blue

katie clutch stack

 Amazing what using the right equipment will give you! They are a far superior jump on all the product shots I’ve taken in the past and I wanted to continue to take photos of random things in the tent because they looked so good!

PURE RIGHT – OLSEN HAUS

If ever my Pre-disastered bags were to marry some shoes, these would definitely be a union I would approve of. Visit Olsen Haus for full collection.  Okay, so she’s strictly vegan and I’m pretty much not, but like Romeo and Juliet, surely we could figure something out..
