“Eyes wide shut”

Fashion shoot inspired a little bit by the movie, precisely the venetian masks element

We’re gonna have 2 professional models, male and female wearing Victorian outfits, cloaks and of course venetian masks. It’s February, time for Venetian carnival as well :)

The plan is to make it fashion as well as a sort of engagement-love-story shoot that you could offer to your clients.

A little implyed nudity might be involved depending on the weather and other conditions.

The shoot will take place in Chiswick Garden Park, which I think is the perfect location (time to move on from Holland Park)

Excellent opportunity to add to your portfolio stunning, bright, unusual images.

As usual – make-up artist and professional models will be present.

  • When – 11th February 2012
  • How much – £34
  • How many people – 13
