Behind the Scenes with Ms. Fran Collazo

 

Here's a behind the scenes look into a recent collaboration we did with the REMARKABLE Fran Collazo @ms.fran.collazo

This experience was more than "just a photo shoot." Fran was gracious and trusted us with her story. We sat down as she courageously gave an intimate look into her journey, in her own words.

Fran talks about childhood, identity crisis, challenges experienced being gay, transgender, how others struggled to accept "her," and the love she found for herself and others.

We are celebrating WHAT she's been through, WHO she is and HOW she sees herself all in the hopes of helping another who may be experiencing something similar.

We are truly honored to be part of her movement and can't wait for the world to know who Fran is! The video, article, and imagery will be shared once published. Stay tuned; you won't want to miss it!

Amy Rose Productions Print Portfolio Teaser

 

THE EAGLE HAS LANDED! Our new print portfolio is here, and we couldn't be more excited to share this teaser. The process took several months (and rounds) before finalizing/printing.

Thank you, @jemma.dilag from @wonderfulmachine, for all of your guidance and expertise during curation. Sequencing is crucial, and this book is more than just a collection of images. Jemma carefully crafted our portfolio to tell stories that include a beginning, middle, and end.

The goal is to bring your potential client on a journey while adding surprise elements along the way. If you shoot multiple categories (ex. fashion, interior, and food), see if you can sequence the imagery together to tell a story by color, theme, or season. If combining doesn't work, keep them separate.

There are many types of books out there, but we chose to use the screw post book from @lostluggage_co. This allows us to print out individual pages and swap out the imagery with new work as needed. The process is a lot easier than printing a whole new book each time.

Send some love if you agree!
