When bringing this vision to life, the goal was to capture an ethereal essence with a mysterious demeanor. With the delicate pastels, the silhouette had to have a commanding presence while also allowing the metal tones to shine. The higher heel bolstered the model’s presence and allowed for a powerful yet breezy feel.

Capturing this moment felt like capturing a fairy in a bottle. By enhancing the warm glow from the lights, I was able to create a juxtaposition from the cool blue and purple tones. The metal tones are further emphasized by the makeup, with the glitter reflecting a cool white against the warm tone of the model’s blush. A marriage of warm and cool tones and of the gentle and dynamic presence, truly captures the essence of a modern fairy.
