"Eye Dream" Jacksonville, FL Fashion Photographer

My stylist and friend Argie Mitra and I keep a small notebook of ideas and this is something that we came up with some time last summer.On my drive home everyday I take Main Street, painted on the walls of some old buildings are these crystals in vibrant colors and different shapes by local artist Shaun Thurston. They inspired me to do a sort of "street style of a millennial" shoot. While discussing our plans for the shoot, Argie suggested we use her friend Mickey.

Fast forward to last month we finally had everything in place for this shoot. Mickey ended up having a plethora of wardrobe for us to choose from and we had a blast shooting that day. We had a couple of strange encounters with homeless people, but that's what happens when you shoot in Downtown Jacksonville. Over all everything turned out perfectly. We did venture out from just using the crystals to find different textures and colors to compliment the looks. I had Jill Rae Bogers do the makeup for this shoot.It was exciting to see her work her magic with all the beautiful colors she used on Mickey. It ended up being one big dance party with these beautiful and talented ladies! I look forward to working with this team again in the future!

Here are the final images! Hope you enjoy!
