Big Fun at the Big Top
by Gabrielle Korein
-
This shoot was a collaborative effort between me and Empress. We wanted to do something pastel and dun and unserious. From this point, the idea for a clown-themed photoshoot emerged. We wanted to do something over the top, and nothing is more over the top than the big top itself.
Our vision was to create a whimsical, vibrant atmosphere that would transport anyone who saw the photos straight into a world of playful fantasy. The pastel color palette was key to achieving this, evoking a sense of childhood innocence and dreamlike wonder. We aimed to contrast the traditional dark and often eerie clown aesthetic with something light, airy, and cheerful.
