Brooke and I have created together many times over the years. For this shoot, we decided to spend the afternoon making stills at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall was designed by architect Frank Gehry and is a very unique location. This area of the hall is the “outdoor garden” which is free and open to the public. (And they allow photoshoots to occur there at no charge, which is pretty rare.) So you can just walk in and start creating.
Shooting with Brooke is always a blast. She has excellent technique and a natural eye for lines and fashion.
We shot in the late afternoon so we had great golden sunlight that danced against the silvers of the concert hall and created lovely shadows.
This image is my favorite of the day. It features Brooke standing in a similar pose as Edgar Degas “Little Dancer of Fourteen Years” statue (with the added addition of a cell phone)
You can follow Brooke on Instagram at: @Brooke_Madison_Thames and keep an eye on the Zine to see more of our shoots here in the future.
