Hello Guys. For all of you’l that know me, I am a creative person, always looking to do something edgy and interesting. There were a group of interesting people planning on a Vintage burlesque shoot, which I was excited to join.. However, my participation looked doubtful when I heard of the dates. I was supposed to be travelling to Phoenix to attend a relatives wedding...

I curbed my excitement since I knew I had a bigger event to attend. I diverted my mind towards some wedding photography of a South Indian & an American which sounded a lot of fun too. The days were getting closer, but we knew it was a long drive ahead of us ( Yes we had to drive , since the flight tickets were expensive ).. On the day of travel, we had an emergency that stopped us from attending the event at Phoenix. We had to cancel the plans and decided to stay home for the weekend.

The once forgotten shoot, was back on table. I realized I could probably make it to the photo session. Carlo Panti one of the most noted photographer in Slc and Catherine Anne Rice planned a Vintage burlesque shoot. The amazing Steve Berlin volunteered for the shoot at his studio.. The HMUA’s set up their station to do hair and makeup for all the lovely ladies, while steve and team set up 5 different stations so all the photographers can play to their hearts content. :)

It was time and the models made their way to the studio. I walked in 20 mins late (IST: p), and my eyes first noticed this gorgeous model standing by the grey backdrops. She was all dressed in a black beautiful vintage outfit. She was instantly my muse for the session and started shooting with her.

Time flew by so quick that before I knew it, It was time for a closure. I got to work with so many confident creative individuals. My most important reason for attending the photo session was to meet all the pro photographers , HMUA’s in town and network with them…They are such selfless individuals that always are ready to teach and mentor the newbies in the society.. I got some great interesting shots besides all the networking and some delicious snacks. A fun evening to remember. Chao until next time. Happy reading!!

Love,

Swathi xoxo
