BC Footwear Fall Cali Cool 2011 Images

Oh yeah!  Time to share the images + video I shot for BC Footwear’s Fall 2011 Campaign (http://www.bcfootwear.net).   BC Footwear, sister company of Seychelles (http://www.seychellesfootwear.com) has that California cool vibe I treasure.  Modern style with a vintage kick-back chic.

Big thanks to BC’s Art Director Jess Gary who gushed, “eeeeeeeeee.  These pictures are blowing my mind!”.   She + I worked together to bring a look that is current and also speaks to BC’s vintage influences.  I created my own Adobe Photoshop filters to make our images take on that Holga film flair so I could still shoot digital (the Olympus EPL1 for the stills, the Canon 7D for the video), fast (on SanDisk Extreme Pro cards www.sandisk.com), and get the look we wanted.

Marketing Director Elaine Pow made the shoot day an absolute treat ! ; not to mention the models (Carre Callaway, Charlotte Toates, Marie DeSauvage and Alexandra Feldman) who brought great energy.   Thank you ladies !  I had a great time !
