Creative Directing
Oozium Character Recreation
This project was inspired by a 3-D rendering created by Oozium. We were given permission to recreate the rendering with a model and photography effects. I was in charge of garment construction and creative direction, while Anthony did the photo rendering and provided studio space. We wanted to not only recreate the original 3D piece, but also add a spin to the character with our own SFX effects. You can find the original inspiration and artist’s other work here.
The Editing Process
Siren of Senses
Inspired by the concept of “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”, we created a dark nature shoot of “sirens”. Concept art, costume designs and styling were by me, with additional construction and modeling by Jessa K and Jessie Z. Photography by Angelo S and was a location shoot in Seattle Washington.
Cyber Angels
Cyber Angels was a project created by Jessie and I. There was a trend for a black body suit on TikTok, and I took the opportunity to manipulate that garment for the shoot. Jessie did the prop work for the halos, I thrifted and purchased the pieces for my outfit, and Jessie and Christine constructed their own looks. Anthony and I did the creative directing and location choice for the shoot. We moved from the barracks to Palace of fine arts in San Francisco for shooting. This project honed in on my experience in trend analysis, garment manipulation, and alterations.
