So, I saw this magazine cover featuring Addison Rae, right? And I thought, “I gotta try recreating this vibe.” It looked so cool and different from what I usually see. Here’s how it went down.
First, I needed to understand what this whole aesthetic was about. After some digging, I found that Addison’s style in this shoot was described as “hyper-pop” and even compared to Lana Del Rey’s “2010 Tumblr” vibe. Interesting, huh? It’s like, bold but sleek, you know? So, I decided to give it a shot.
- Gathering Inspiration: I started by looking at the photos from the magazine. There were a few posts on Instagram, one with 3,145 likes and another with 9,494. It was clear that the look was a hit.
- Understanding the Team: Then I found out who was behind this amazing shoot. It was Carin Backoff who took the photos, Daniel Gaines did the styling, Lucas Wilson was on hair, and Janessa Par did the makeup. What a dream team!
- Planning the Look: I don’t have a professional team, so I had to figure out how to do this on my own. I focused on getting the basics right. Minimalism was the key, they said. Demure but bold.
I put on some music to get into the mood, I did my makeup, trying to keep it simple but striking. For my hair, I went with a sleek look because that’s what I saw in the photos. I chose an outfit from Coach’s autumn collection, since that’s what Addison was wearing. It felt right for the vibe.
I set up my camera and took some photos, playing with the lighting to get that edgy feel. It was all about capturing that confident and raw emotion that Addison showed in the magazine.
After a bunch of shots, I picked out the ones that I felt really nailed the look. It wasn’t perfect, but it was my own take on it, and I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
Reflecting on the Experience
Honestly, this was such a fun experiment. It pushed me to try something completely out of my comfort zone. Plus, it was really cool to see how a team of professionals creates these stunning visuals. I might not be a cover star, but for a day, I felt like one. And who knows, maybe I’ll try more looks inspired by magazines. It’s like playing dress-up, but with a bit more thought and effort. And it’s totally worth it.
