Our 'Rooted' collection...Behind the scenes
After months of meticulous planning, designing, and manufacturing the hair slides for our highly anticipated 'Rooted' collection, we were finally ready to embark on the exciting journey of capturing the perfect hair slide photos! This moment had been a long time coming, filled with creative brainstorming sessions, sketches, and the careful selection of materials that would bring our vision to life.
This collection was photographed by ourselves against the breathtaking backdrop of the stunning Cornish coastline, a place that holds a special significance for us as we often spend countless hours there, drawing inspiration from its natural beauty. The rugged cliffs, vibrant sea, and serene beaches provided the ideal setting to showcase our hair slides. Read on to see how the entire process unfolded and the challenges we faced along the way...
Documenting Our Journey
Step 1: Choosing the Location
With the beautiful coast all around us, we were inundated with options, making the task of choosing the perfect location both exhilarating and somewhat daunting. After exploring several picturesque spots, we finally settled on a local favorite—an enchanting cove known for its dramatic rock formations and golden sands. This location not only offered stunning views but also created a serene atmosphere that perfectly complemented the essence of our 'Rooted' collection.
Step 2: The Clothing
With the 'Rooted' collection showcasing its beauty through deep textures rather than strong colors, we wanted to ensure our fashion choices were soft and subtle, allowing viewers to focus on the real beauty of our hair slides. We opted for flowing fabrics in muted tones that harmonized with the natural palette of the surroundings. This thoughtful selection was crucial, as we aimed to create a cohesive look that would highlight the intricate details of each hair slide.
Layering was key; we incorporated lightweight cardigans and delicate linens that could flutter in the coastal breeze, adding a touch of whimsy to the overall aesthetic. Our goal was to strike a balance between elegance and comfort, ensuring that both the models and the hair slides shone through in each photograph.
Step 3: Photography
As we set up for the shoot, we encountered a few challenges. The weather was a little windy, and the sky wasn't quite the bright summer blue we had hoped for. Despite these conditions, we decided to push through, embracing the natural elements around us. This determination led to a pretty good mix of photographs—some fuzzy, a few with awkward angles, but ultimately, we captured several images that truly worked and reflected the beauty of our hair slides.
The wind added a sense of movement to our photos, creating an organic feel that aligned perfectly with the theme of our collection. We experimented with different angles, perspectives, and compositions, allowing the raw beauty of the coastline to interact with our designs in unique ways.
Step 4: The Edits
After our successful shoot, we turned our attention to the editing process. We aim to edit our photos as little as possible, allowing us to showcase the true colors, textures, and feel of our slides. This philosophy guided us through the editing stage, making it an enjoyable experience rather than a tedious chore. With just a couple of adjustments on the shadows and highlights, we were able to enhance the images while maintaining their authenticity.
In Conclusion...
Yes, it took time and effort, but the end result was incredibly rewarding. The hair slides in our 'Rooted Collection' have now become some of our most favorite designs, each piece telling a story of creativity and connection to nature. We are thrilled to share these beautiful creations with you and hope they resonate with your own sense of style.
