We recently teamed up with Valentino's Academy in Whitby to shoot their first ever graduating class of 2016. With several stylists graduating the recently launched program, the students had the opportunity to create a look and style based on a theme Pamela (director of education at the Academy) and Christine Cousins (Photographer for Carbon + Craft) had set out as inspiration. We really wanted to play with the gorgeous natural light the studio offers, so we set out to create a soft and natural feel to the shoot. With hints of ivy adorning the studio walls, we really wanted to embrace an organic feel to the styles the students created on their models.
