PORTFOLIO BOOST – the pool shoot edition

A shoot weekend together with a group of like-minded creatives. Fully catered and produced at a beautiful location, so that everyone can focus on their craft.

3 Teams including a photographer, make-up/hair artist and model, 4 different concepts prepared by our stylist Yoni and an amazing Pool location.

On the Portfolio Boost day we go through the whole Beauty- & Fashion photoshoot process together.

FRUITY BEAUTY

The day prior to the Portfolio Boost shoot we presented the different themes and mood boards to pick from for the next day. The one that was regarded as the most challenging involved a Beauty shoot around floating fruit.

It turned out to make an interesting picture: the colors of the fruit and matching make-up contrasted beautifully with the blonde model and light blue water.

The owner of the pool was a little less happy with this concept considering he found lots of fruit hidden in the pool drainages afterward (even though we thought we had cleaned it thoroughly).

RETRO PIN-UP STYLE

We all gather around the pool to shoot the last part of the Portfolio Boost. It is “one for all and all for one” now with this completely different theme.

Vintage pool party styling with bold colorful bathing suits, head caps, and beachballs + air matrasses as props.

We run around cowboy style, shooting the same models and setting from different angles. This is really what the Boost day is all about: teamwork and sharing our creative joy.
