I’m seeing glossed textiles and crisp shadow geometry overtake pastel softness in pre-fall lookbooks. Last week I shot at 6 a.m. on a Tribeca rooftop with a silver bounce and a 45mm tilt-shift to sculpt lacquered skirts — are you pivoting from diffusion to specular too, or doubling down on haze?
Pivoting too — “45mm tilt-shift” with a silver bounce at 6 a.m; is money, but I keep a 1/8 Black Satin on faces so the skirts stay glassy while skin doesn’t get crunchy… Concrete step: throw a 4x4 neg fill tight on the shadow side to carve edges instead of haze — spill kills it, . Are you flagging the bounce or letting it kiss the background?
