Studio 3 has eyes on Bill Cunningham!

Posted on April 25, 2012

While Portland may not be perceived as a fashion epicenter like NYC or LA, the fashion buzz surrounding the Pacific Northwest is undeniable. Our independent, eco-friendly atmosphere has led to three of the nine winners of Project Runway to call Portland home at one time or another. As our city gains notoriety in the fashion world, we decided to look back at the long career of photographer Bill Cunningham and his decades of work documenting New York fashion trends.

Feast your eyes on these candid images from Cunningham’s column “On The Street” and be sure to watch the Times produced documentary “Bill Cunningham New York”, click here to see the trailer!

30's fashion photography with Designer Peter Czar

Posted on March 19, 2012

Dana Jonas was getting her fashion photography on! Her good friend Peter Czar designed the epic clothes featured in the photographs. We were also lucky enough to shoot in a beyond gorgeous home, we are talking museum quality, the house was unreal. When we say unreal, it not only was gorgeous, it was full of beautiful props, furniture, knick-knacks and artifacts galore. Couldn’t have set the stage better for this 30’s fashion photography shoot. As most fashion photography shoots, this one was inspired by the clothes. We couldn’t have asked for anything more shimmering, delicate, & feminine! Thanks Peter Czar. As for Dana, she has a few words of her own:

Oh man, I felt like a bull in a China factory! Although, thank god, I wasn’t. I remember there were little tea-cups sitting out, and I thought to myself “those are probably worth more than my car”. Haha. On the serious side of the things, the shoot was fantastic. For the first picture, I was bleeding a light head to get the power down on the lights, and turned the head around the face the wall behind me. The wood in this house was a beautiful dark, almost red color. The light gave the shadows in the picture a beautiful amber tone, and created the reflection on the antique throttle. The model was gorgeous and I couldn’t ask for her to wear the gorgeous clothing creations any better. The lighting, the fabric, everything came together so perfectly. There are those incredible moments, when everything just comes together so perfectly. Those are the shots I truly live for and what makes fashion photography more then just a picture, but more like a toast to the clothing itself.

Claudine Ebel: Styling Made Fun!

Posted on January 17, 2012

Every project we work on is a collaborative effort, with a team of people behind it that make it all come together. Working like this is a great experience because it allows for every person to focus on their piece of the project while getting to help and learn from others, and most of all meets cool, new people in the process! Speaking of cool people, it’s our pleasure to feature our friend and stylist-extraordinaire, Claudine Ebel on the blog today!

Claudine might have one of the best attitudes of anyone we’ve ever worked with.  ‘I love this! I love this!’ You can always tell when Claudine Ebel has entered the studio!  Full of creativity and fun-loving energy, she has had a great fashion sense from the get-go. She recalls that at age 5 her mom’s friends would ask who was dressing her! Little did they suspect that the cute kid whose style impressed them would grow up to be a stylist highly demanded in the industry. As Claudine would put it: ‘I was born to style.’

Having her natural talents guiding her the whole way, she’s ecstatic to be prospering in her career, saying that she’s “living the dream and it only gets better.” We at Studio 3 are lucky enough to be able to join her in saying that we’re living a dream, getting to work on cool projects for awesome clients and constantly meeting great new people. And of course, we’re always happy to help support another’s dream. Claudine Ebel’s presence is truly bright and always positive, making every shoot we work with her on a great working environment.

Take a look at Claudine’s talent from the shoot below, and be sure to check out her work in action, in her production, Flight Serena here! Keep up the great work, Claudine!

Portrait Photography of the Seattle Mist!

Posted on January 10, 2012

DList has commissioned Dana Jonas and Studio 3 to do editorial, fashion, and portrait photography. It is always great fun working with the lifestyle brand that represents a lavish, VIP lifestyle that includes dress, dine, drink, & dance. DList has some of the premiere events in the Northwest, including parties at local nightclubs, cover model searches, award shows, and an exclusive gold membership. It tends to be a great read full of must sees and highlights of favorite spots around Seattle.

In our recent shoot with the magazine we had the pleasure of shooting for the Seattle Mist, Seattle’s very own lingerie football league. These girls are serious athletes, practicing often and having more wins than losses. The LFL has gained popularity throughout Seattle as well of the rest of the country, with a huge tournament in Las Vegas, drawing hundreds of fans who root on the sport.  Shooting portrait photography of these girls was beyond fun. In Dana’s words, “we had sooooooooo much fun on this shoot with Seattle Mist for the cover and inside spread of DList’s January Issue. The girls had tons of personality, making it easy to tell they are truly an inspiring team of people”.  It was great having the whole team in studio and seeing the passion these girls have for the game. They also happened to make great models and perhaps we’ll have the opportunity to work with them on future projects.

We hope you’ll grab an issue when you see it on the stands to check out our portrait photography on the cover as well as learn about the girls of Seattle Mist! 🙂

Check out the full digital version of the magazine here!

Fashion Stylist & Editor: Jenascia Chakos

Posted on January 10, 2012

Jenascia Chakos rocks our socks off and we want you to know why! From the very first issue of DList she has been an avid fan and follower. Lucky for us she’s been a  fashion stylist, producer, and editor for three years at the magazine. We have had the joy of working with this fantastic gal for a little under six months and let’s just say it’s always a blast.

Jenascia consistently tries to outdo herself, making sure every issue she releases turns more than a few heads. Her energetic personality is always appreciated on set and her eye for fashion styling helps make DList’s spreads go from good to uniquely great. You can find her on set chugging a red bull or wearing her infamous fanny pack (which we absolutely love!), full of all of her favorite tools. Let’s just say, she’s always prepared! This wonderful fashion stylist is full of tricks that makes us wish she was our secret weapon on all fashion shoots Studio 3 produces.

In this busy lady’s downtime she finds ways to create recycled fashion and enjoy her adorable little son. You may also see Jenascia modeling for a few local photographers and if you are into reality TV, you may recognize her from America’s Next Top Model Season 2. She also has a way with words and won just under $50,000 on Wheel of Fortune. It’s safe to say Jenascia is anything but ordinary.

Check out Jenascia’s amazing fashion styling skills in action, from the awesome images below shot by our own photographer Dana Jonas and watching the DList video:  Paint The Town

Gettin’ Our Fashion Photography on at Discovery Park!

Posted on December 26, 2011

It was a beautiful early winter day and Dana Jonas decided to take one of her favorite models out to get her fashion photography on! It was a great day to capture lens flares and the beauty of a well knit sweater. The difficulty of fashion photography lies in creating an idealistic image, that makes you not only want to seize the day, but also while wearing this season’s newest boots.

Dana Jonas does love a challenge and couldn’t believe the fall like images she was able to capture. Tricia Eastman was her model and was nothing short of exceptional for this All American beauty shoot. The inspiration behind this particular shoot was the Northwest, getting cozy and enjoying a walk around beautiful Discovery Park. Dana was able to capture images that look as if they have a natural filter. However, we must admit the best thing about this shoot is most likely the location.

If you are looking for a great place to show off your Winter fashion you should definitely check out one of our favorite locations, Discovery Park. It is situated on the Magnolia bluff overlooking the Puget Sound. It is one of the most beautiful Seattle city parks and allows for such day activities as paddle boating, kayaking, and hiking. It is basically a Northwester’s dream! The park also has a charming lighthouse that would be inviting to anyone. It’s a must to check out the beach and the old row of yellow houses. We look forward to our next shoot at this stunning Seattle park. To shoot at this park commercially, contact Seattle Parks for a permit. You can check out Dana’s images from the fashion photography shoot below and for more information on Discovery Park, check out their website!

Fashion Photography: Making Public Transportation Look Good!

Posted on December 6, 2011

With the year coming to an end and a couple more chilly months on their way, it’s the perfect time to start expanding those winter wardrobes.  Here in the Pacific Northwest, we know it’s always important to stay dry and warm, but why not look good while doing so?  Studio 3, Inc. Seattle got stylishly adventurous while working on some fashion photography for a Baggallini advertisement pitch!

Check out the fresh winter fashion photography, Studio 3 style, below.  Our photographer, stylist, and model spent the day on location (well, many locations), riding the bus around downtown Seattle to get these awesome shots.  What a fun surprise it must’ve been for their fellow riders to realize they’d found themselves in the middle of a photo shoot, out in the wild!  In true Studio 3 fashion, even a normal city bus can be turned into a stunning runway on wheels!

As we love to do, we at Studio 3 have made our little list of favorites again, and this time it’s all about our go-to winter accessories, the things that help us survive that cold winter breeze and let us look and feel good doing so:

Hoodies

The must have-staple of any wardrobe, hoodies are probably one of the greatest things ever invented.  They warm your arms and head like a wearable blanket and are the perfect way to start any layered outfit.  Wearing a hoodie is like wearing a hug: warm, soft, and full of love. 

Beanies

When a hood isn’t enough and you need to get that head warm (and you also want to look cute, of course), it’s time to whip out the trusty knit beanie.  If a hoodie is a hug that stays with you throughout the day, a beanie is a wearable pat on the head: comforting, encouraging, and feels like you’re home.

A Cool Ceramic Mug

You know how drinking Coca-Cola out of a tall glass bottle just tastes better than out of a can? Well trust us, the same goes for every warm beverage and what you drink it out of.  Our surefire way of feeling comfy and cozy in the office on cold days is by sipping our tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and every now and then a hot toddy out of our personal favorite mugs.  If a hoodie is a portable blanket for your outsides, then a warm drink in your best mug is a blanket for your insides! 

Stay warm, but also fashionable, dear friends!
