Reference: Hallway shot and mood

The idea of walking through life, but still to your own soundtrack.

Rooftop shoot idea: all in a row

Interesting shot from the back and from the profile

Mood: Introspective

Some Rooftop Imagery

Hmm...who else is doing this?





And this is just a stop-motion photography project that happened one night on a friend's rooftop during a birthday party/photoshoot. It's silly. We're all having a bunch of fun (and yes, that's me in there)...But I think it's an interesting approach to a nighttime rooftop shoot, especially the stop-motion/photography element...

Fashion Videos:

Gareth Pugh is one designer who has delved into fashion video with his collections.
While I'm not necessarily looking to his videos for direct inspiration on the Model City shoot, I do find it interesting that his videos are beginning to effect mainstream culture. Take a look at the video below from his Fall 2009 collection, then check out Beyonce's latest video for "Sweet Dreams", obviously inspired by Pugh.

I think the fashion video stuff is pretty cutting edge and on the brink of exploding out of the couture bubble. Using this innovative approach to the style of our shoot will pair well with the innovation of the show.
