We did something very silly and fun in Oregon a few weeks ago.
On a creative retreat with an amazing group of women, we did a lot of wonderful things. We made beautiful meals, we took walks by the water, we painted, we laughed, we had spontaneous dance parties…And all the while we photographed each other a lot.
One night Tracey put on this incredible dress and I suddenly had a vision. We needed a white sheet, a couple of people to hold it up in front of the sun, and voila! I would transform Tracey Clark into a Vanity Fair model. I shot into the sun (again, with the white sheet behind her) and it created a dreamy, gauzy effect I just love. Doesn’t she look beautiful?
This week’s challenge is to try your hand at the glamorous. Sometimes a solid colored wall will do the trick, or a good prop like a boa or a cowboy hat might be all you need. Let’s see your glam sisters!

Gorgeous, glamorous lady. Love this technique.
Lisa says
wow. well i’ve just started following your blog, and i must say that i love what you ladies are doing here. ๐ anyway. that is a beautiful photo, a lovely effect. thank you for this! i’ll try working on my own interpretation. ๐
georgia says
yes, she does look beautiful. i suspect that’s because she is. love these photos.
always thought it would be so much fun to go to my sister’s vintage apartment in the city and get some anthropologie-esque photos of her in all her great clothes in and around her apartment. i still have plans to do this. you’ve re-inspired me to try. thanks!

I shot my gorgeous niece’s senior portraits a few weeks back. She turned into a glamour girl as soon as I turned the camera on her.

very cool and Tracey looks sexy and almost like a model! Oh what glorious things your women friends did in Oregon. Sounds so special. I may have to try this idea with the white sheet and sun. Thanks for sharing!

I recently did a session with a girl named Katey who is quite possibly the most glamorous, elegant woman I’ve ever met:
