The Marriage of Fashion and Photography





Stefan L. Smith

Fashion and Photography definitely work hand and hand. I was recently approached about providing wardrobe for a test photo shoot. After doing some research, I found out that Leonardo Corredor captures some great photos. While he was in Los Angeles on his own business, he emailed me telling me that he was a fan of our boutique and would love to use some items for a test shoot. He is a very young top model that can be seen all over the fashion world. Here's a bit of information about him:

---
Leonardo Corredor was born in Arkansas and raised in Merida, Venezuela. At the age of 13 he found much success in an award winning vocal group which took him around the world and afforded him many great experiences. After a successful music career he entered the Mister Venezuela contest and won at only 18 years old. He was a natural behind the camera and quickly became a well-known face on billboards and in fashion magazines. After seeing so much at a young age, he wanted to set his sights higher and set off for the USA. He was quickly signed by the world renowned Wilhelmina agency where he began working as a fashion model immediately in Miami, LA and New York. With his first year in the USA being a great success, he set off for Asia where he spent 8 months developing his portfolio as a model and learning the industry inside and out.  During his time in Asia, Leo found his passion for photography. He started shooting the local sights and people, honing his skills before venturing into fashion. Since returning to the United States, Leo has kept all his focus on photography and studying lighting techniques while shooting models to build his portfolio. He thrives on learning something new everyday and you can see the results of his efforts in local magazines and boutiques in Miami. (taken from www.leocphoto.com)

So as you can see, Leonardo keeps himself quite busy! Below you will find some of the images from the test shoot that contain items from our collection:
