The First Released Issue!
Meanwhile, I scouted the city of Oakland for photographable locations. My husband and I, took numerous photos of street art, and interesting building compositions, which I used throughout the magazine as a background to a few of the magazine pages. I also had the opportunity to write several articles for the magazine, such as an article about Oakland Fashion Week's stylist, which includes biographical information, and their extensive experience in the styling field. I interviewed two models who not only participated on the Oakland Fashion Week runway, but are featured in magazine fashion photos as well. As each element of the magazine was checked off the to-do-list, the overall layout of the magazine began to come together, achieving the vision we had originally anticipated.
The second photo-shoot for the magazine, was held at the fabulous Audrey B's Boutique, located at 1415 Webster Street in Oakland. Our team for that day included, Photographers, Marco Acevedo Garcia, and Everett Bass, Make-Up Artist, Michelle Carthon, Designers, Audrey B, Valerie Cotton (Adorna Couture), and Sergio Omar (The Shades Company). Pharoah Brand was the Fashion Stylist, Unique Cooper, the Production Assistant, and I was working as the Photography Director. The beautiful models were Juliua Fraser, Capri Quattrocoi, and Kelsie Granneman. Here are a few behind the scene photos of that photo-shoot: It All Comes Together Shortly after the photoshoot held at Audrey B. Boutique, I received the edited photos from our photographers, Marco Acevedo Garcia, and Everett Bass. The pictures were sensational! Truly one of the most challenging aspects of my job was narrowing down the hundreds of high quality editorial photos taken during the two photo-shoots, and selecting only seven photos from the first photo-shoot, and six photos from the second. However, once the magazine was completed, I feel confident that I chose the photos that best represented our goal for the photo-shoot, and our vision for the magazine.
