Now that Kentucky’s unpredictable weather has made up its mind, it is officially time to put the Chacos away. This fall season is all about layers, long coats and (obviously) flannel. This season, mustard yellows and shades of green are what to keep an eye out for. Ultimately, it is important to remember that even though it’s cold outside, you can still be fashionable.
Senior Chandler Dobbs is spicing up a classic red flannel by unbuttoning it just enough for us to see his chain and American flag tattoo. I’m getting a lot of patriotic vibes from this “fit.” He paired it with a simple pair of black jeans and a tan Chelsea boot. The navy windbreaker adds to the layer trend while also keeping him warm. Eckert’s Orchard is not ready for him this year.
Sophomore Maddie White is wearing one of this year’s most fashionable colors. Mustard yellow is definitely the move this fall. She went the extra mile by adding the quilted vest and later on adding a longer coat. Maddie is staying warm and killing the game at the same time. We like to call that multi-tasking.
Sophomore Derek McCoy is bringing some 50’s vibes to his “fall fit” with those cuffed up jeans. We love the creativity and functionality of an exposed knit sock. My guy took layering to another level with a hoodie, flannel and jacket. And to top it all off, he wore a white ball cap. It won’t necessarily keep him warm, but he will be fashionable.
How to get the best out of your fall photoshoot:
By Sam Diaz
As a photographer, it’s hard to have everything under control. Sometimes shoots go wrong and anything can cause a problem. I’m not a native Kentuckian, so I don’t know good places to shoot, but I use that to my advantage.
If you’re clever enough, any place that you are at can be used for a photoshoot. It just takes a bit of creativity. Typically, when I do a shoot, I do a bit of research online to try and get some ideas for what the client would want, and some things that I myself would want to try out. Personally, for me I love doing shoots around 5-7 p.m. in the evening. When the sun is going down and that crisp light hits the person, it creates the ideal photo, which is exactly what I did with this shoot.
Highbridge is quite possibly a photographer’s dream because of how many ideal locations it has to shoot. You have the train tracks, underneath the bridge, the scenic overlook, the road, etc. With these types of photos, you want to make sure that the subject stands exactly where you want them to so that the photo comes out looking just right. With this shoot I wanted to show nature and the fall season, but also emphasize the outfits that the models wore. So, I did just that and it came out okay.
As a photographer, I’m extremely critical of my pictures, and I only want to have the best photos. Every photographer has their own tips and tricks to get the ideal shot, but all I can tell you is to mess around with your settings, and I mean all of it. It’s about trying to get the best shot, and that happens through trial and error. I’m not the best at what I do, but I love what I do.
