SHEER SERIES: DOROTHY DANDRIDGE DEPICTED

Nov 3

So many lovely things going on in these shots. If you haven't noticed, I've had an obsession with sheer which leaves me with so many options to wear. I find it so sexy yet demure wearing this AA tunic blouse as a dress with a pair of high waist bloomers and my favorite demi bra. I'm also adoring my new hat from Labels Consignment in Berkeley. It suits my style perfectly with a bit demure, a little age and a lot of sass. The most special thing about these photographs are Jay Adam's beautiful touches. This man captures beauty I could never imagine- he makes me feel so significant to his art. Do you bloggers work with photographers that just take your breath away? Check out more of his work here.

I've always looked up to Dorothy Dandridge for her demure yet sexy appeal. She was this gorgeous, radiant woman throughout her acting career and I've always wanted to capture her essence. I was sitting across from these steps the day before Jay and I shot and I had this flashback to her life (depicted in the life story casted to Halle Berry, 1999), where she's walking down steps, looking magical and sunkissed. I instantly texted Jay and said we HAD TO SHOOT HERE and just like that, Jay created exactly what I wanted to capture.
