This is a little overdue. I shot this in August, during a major thunderstorm, under a bunch of very large trees in my backyard. Fortunately, the rain was touch and go. The thunder and lightning were our constant companions, though. We shot this for my friend, Chigo, of Odi Couture, to promote her line of custom-made gowns. The idea was to have an antique couch under a chandelier, in the woods, and create a kind of magical, fairy-tale environment for our lovely model, Syreeta Lockett. I decided somewhere along the way to add fireflies. Everything came together easily enough except we had no couch, even though I had been searching for over a month. I was starting to think we were going to have to rework the concept but Chi had her heart set on the original idea. Less than a week before the shoot, I suddenly had an urge to check out the Goodwill and lo and behold…our couch. For 40 bucks. It worked out like magic.
