Fashion Photoshoots

In my free time, I do photoshoots of people for their graduation, family pictures, or even just for fun. I recently did a photoshoot of one of the girls that I felt had a high sense of fashion. Rachel Ellam is an 18 year old from San Jose, California, who gets most of her clothing from Forever 21, American Apparel, and Urban Outfitters. I was sparked with an idea to do a shoot of what she normally wears day to day, with a little drama added, and see how the public responded upon posting the photographs. So, here you are public. What do you think of her fashion sense?

Here Rachel's dress is from Forever 21, her tights are from Target, and her boots are from a garage sale. She was able to get this outfit for very cheap, and yet it looks fabulous.

Rachel is wearing shorts from American Apparel, blouse from Forever 21, jacket from American Apparel, and shoes from TOMs. Her fedora was borrowed from a friend. This time, her outfit was a little bit more pricey, but it has a great amount of drama, just with pairing up unlikely clothing.

In this photograph, Rachel is wearing a tube top from Target and shorts from American Apparel. Her hair tie is from Urban Outfitters. This unusual pair actually worked well for the shot.

In this shot, Rachel is wearing a tube top from Target.

Rachel's fedora was borrowed from a friend but her black high-waisted shorts are from American Apparel, her lace top is from Forever 21, her tube top is from Target, and her boots are from a garage sale. The outfit goes together nicely.

Same clothing as the caption above.

 

 

 As you can see, shoppers, you can buy many different items of clothing and pair them together in unusual ways to create a trend. Though she did not purchase any of these items to wear together, we pieced them nicely to create great shapes and colors. Don't be afraid to mix and match with your clothing, you never know what you can create. Think of your clothes as the paint on a canvas; the colors can go together when you think they might not. Taking out a color wheel can also help you mix and match clothing items to pair together. 

You can use the colors that cross eachother, are directly next to eachother or are in the same quadrants. 

Happy Shopping!
