Every month or so, my boudy friends and I challenge each other to get creative and eventually we will have a website dedicated to our projects, but for now we are hosting them here until 2018! The theme for our most recent challenge was "manties" or male underwear used as panties! I realized very quickly that if I was going to purchase these, I couldn't just buy ONE pair, no, I had to buy a pack of 6 so if anyone wants to wear these for their shoot, lemme know! Last night, we finally revealed our images to each other and it was so cool to see how each of us created art from the same outfit. It's so important to stay creative when "being creative" is your job, so these challenges help fuel the fun! It's interesting because we each have our "thing"...for example, I am a classic overachiever. The goal was to shoot the manties once, but I had to wait for them to get their shoots done and I was bored, so I shot both Kiana AND Raissa in similar, but slightly different styled shoots. Paige kept hers clean and minimalist, with a bit of a cheeky bit at the end, and Steph opted for self-portraits and rocked the shit out of the manties in an intimate lifestyle session!

Nicole and I did it again! This time we were inspired by Rihanna's HARD video with it's green/yellow tones and bad ass military vibe. While we didn't get as many outfits as we had wanted, I still like to think we made magic. For me, this was a challenging shoot because of the editing more than the shooting process. I had to desaturate a lot and play with color toning that I usually try to avoid. I got frustrated, but then I had fun learning and trying to match the lighting styles of the video. Once we played out the military outfit, we decided to grab some shots of Nicole with our faux police attire as she is trying to decide what she should be for Halloween....she's just going to go to 2 different parties.
Here's our inspiration:
