Photography – Meet the Maker Day 13

03.13.2019 by btslingerie // Leave a Comment

Very soon after starting my collection my mind turned towards photography, and for the first several seasons we hired photographers and Josh took photos behind the scenes. With some experience I encouraged Josh to take our next campaign photos and he & I have been photographing collections since. Working together is pretty seamless because he understands my vision for the brand, creatively and professionally and allows me to art direct or hop behind the lens if I have something specific in mind.

We began shooting in studios and a few outdoor spaces, then started renting houses for a weekend to shoot (part of that eventually inspired our move to the Hudson Valley), here’s a behind the scenes photo shooting with @ardensirens in a special @specimensofseduction collection Andromeda. This shoot was challenging bc of wind and cold temps, swipe for video from that day.

Since moving away from city and photo studios we got studio lights & seamless that allows us flexibility to shoot in our own home or a future space.

I rarely discuss the storytelling I create behind a photo shoot, but I’ll include symbolism and narration in my planning to impart a subtext to my direction. Andromeda was one where I was open about discussing it because it even influenced color and design of the garments, but oftentimes I prefer the allusion and really like any art form details matter so much to me. If a model is holding something it probably carries a deeper meaning and it is all part of a larger very personal narrative for me. I use symbolism I have picked from different myths, objects or objects in a particular color might allude to events in my life or the world.

love – Persephone Rising 

03.18.2015 by btslingerie // Leave a Comment

Calling all Goddesses

Spring is here

 

We’re completely head over heels at these stunning photos from photographer Francine Duffy featuring some of our pieces, so we’re sharing the full set in celebration of the first day of spring. There is something so magical about Francine’s use of natural lighting and her instagram and site are filled with gorgeous sensual images, and there is something so authentic about how she captures the feminine spirit alive in nature.

I shared the story of Persephone on our instagram last week and for those of you that missed it:

This series reminds me of the story of Persephone who was kidnapped by Hades God of the underworld. It was said that her absence led her mother Demeter Goddess of the agriculture/harvest in her sadness to create winter’s blight. When Hades under pressure by Zeus & the rest of the Gods allowed Persephone to return he tricked her into eating a pomegranate, so having eaten a fruit of the underworld she would have to return for part of the year. Her presence and return to the earth led flowers to spring forth, and her return to Hades & the underworld caused winter when the flowers and crops fade. This story of her coming and going explained the change of seasons.

The story of Persephone is one of my favorite Greek myths, because like so many Greek tales it captures a deeper view of feminine power and mystique. It’s also empowering in that Persephone comes to represent both dark & light, she is both the Queen of the underworld and rules over the dead alongside Hades, but also has the power to bring life to earth with her return each spring her very presence brings forth flowers.

Also makes quite an apropos reference for our floral lace Petal Play collection too!
