Ready To Wear - Fashion Lookbook, NYC

Natural Studio loved working with NIV, an emerging fashion brand based in New York City. We shot images for their lookbook in one of our favorite studios in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC. The designer’s artistry, honed in India, is expressed through her use of color and texture—resulting in a unique vision of refined simplicity.

Whether you wear glasses because you need to or you just like them for style reasons, keeping those frames on for some portraits can definitely be a great idea, especially if they are cool! So here’s to embracing your spectacles when you put your best face forward.

A Perfect Match

Natural Studio had the pleasure of working with talented NYC based fashion designer Maud Heline. In addition to shooting some lookbook images of her fashion collection, we photographed some fresh clean portraits of Maud at her studio in Gowanus, Brooklyn that she needed for upcoming magazine features and public relations. The style of her design work and vibe of her overall brand was a perfect match for our photography.

Some Thoughts on Light

At Natural Studio, we love natural light. Many times, we have been able to create some of our favorite portraits and headshots just by working with natural light. The reality though is that depending on only sunlight for a photo shoot can be a risky affair. Especially since we work in New York City, where depending on the weather year-round would not be practical. That’s why we became skilled at using the artificial light from professional strobe lights to create that same type of relaxed, airy, sunlit aesthetic. Light itself is one of our major inspirations. It’s often what makes a good photograph. So being in control of the light is a great thing as it allows us the freedom to focus on our subject, their expression, and all the other elements that make up a great image.
