VividBraille Illustrations

Newly posted work in the Illustration gallery!
This is a series of fashion illustrations I did a few months back.

This summer, I traveled to the Hamptons on a photoshoot for VividBraille. They’re a clothing company that mashes up modern and vintage influences with a message. It’s refreshing to see clothing that goes beyond visual tricks and actually begins to start a dialogue. I personally love their tagline, which is “Art is remembered not by what is seen, but what is felt.”

I was invited onto the team as a makeup artist but I ended up playing a variety of roles including photo assistant, stylist, and model. It was a great experience to be involved in all aspects of the production.

Afterwards, I pulled some of the finished photographs taken by Chris Carr and worked to create my own interpretations of the images in Photoshop. My technique involved a combination of photo-manipulation, digital drawing, and many, many layers of transparencies in order to preserve parts of the original photo, while also transforming it into my own illustration.

I had a blast collaborating with some many creative people, and would definitely love to experiment more with this photo + illustration style.

Any photographers out there that are game?
