BTS: Talisman Fine Jewelry SS23 Lookbook Shoot with Matt Nager
Photographer Matt Nager with model Samantha Joseph
Coming out of the holiday season, after a nice week or two of R&R, I quickly hit the ground running for SS23… That included, as in recent years, a marathon of finishing the new pieces, concepting/creative directing and producing the lookbook shoot, and getting every item shot for web. It’s a lot, but it’s all a true labor of love and a joy to do.
Matt gets the high angle with River Wharton.
This season, I was so happy to work with a longtime friend to photograph our lookbook: Matt Nager and I have known each other since high school, and I have long admired his career trajectory. The concept: a lonely woman, Samantha, is trapped in a decadent yet time-faded home on a hillside, with no one to keep her company but her imaginary friend River. Our models Samantha Joseph and River Wharton, were decked out in wardrobe provided by several dear friends. Styling by yours truly, with makeup by Lillian Marsh.
That’s a wrap, peace out!
