Alyssa – Venturing into fashion
Alyssa – Venturing into fashion
I know Alyssa from our networking group and she is a graphic designer and website developer partner at 3-Keyes Communications in Pleasanton, CA She does excellent design and website work.
Part of being a photographer is ‘seeing’. By that I mean, seeing things that may not be obvious all the time. Alyssa has the distinction of being 6 foot tall, which I noticed since I am quite a few inches taller. Whenever I see tall people I immediately notice because it make me feel shorter ☺. Just the way it is for tall folks I guess. One of my best friends is 6′-8″ tall and I love being around him because I don’t feel tall at all.
Anyway, from time to time I have noticed features about Alyssa and at an early networking breakfast I asked her if she would consider modeling. I was surprized when she said “Yes, sounds like fun”. So we contacted Jessica Standlee for makeup and she had a friend, Stephanie Tillson, who would do her hair. My wife Kathi and I met with Alyssa and headed to the mall to find some clothes and we had a mood board with ideas made up. My photographer friend Hiram Chee was also kind enough to come up from Santa Cruz and assist! A wonderful collaboration indeed and what a blast we had!
Here are some before and during shots from folk’s phones:
They say a picture is worth a thousand words… I’ll shut up and show you a few.
