We have worked with UPA kid's wear since the very first collection. Our team for the day was Photographer Odry, Creative Director/Stylist CARROT INC, assistant stylist JD Stylist, all these adorable models and their parents and a few more helping hands.
We had this concept in mind for some time now. It is inspired by amazingly talented Tim Walker work, table series. So we decided we will make a setting of a table. We covered it in natural linen and so we did for the background, as UPA brand is all about sustainability and natural fabrics.
Then we said we will go with the flow. In this particular case we were shooting their collar collection. Our focus had to be collars, where in some cases we might have drawn too much of attention to other stuff... however, result is very pleasing and surely did the job.
See the photos with short descriptions and get into our crazy heads with us. We choose making live installations rather than digital art.
Please note, our studio is at the back of a house ;)
And the key to all the most beautiful things that are being created on earth: balance! In this case it is colour balance.
