Who’s ready for a recap of our 3rd Photographer’s Shoot-Out at Lightbox? I know I am! The theme for this round was all things up-cycled! We partnered with Melly Reyes of Waste Less Apparel for this event! Melly gives new life to old clothing and was a crucial part in how this shoot-out came together! She designed and sewed outfits for each of our 4 models and GUYS! They were AH-MAY-ZING.
Our team at Lightbox created two sets in The Loft using items we already had at the studio and re-used items from the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store & thrift stores here in Springfield! We definitely had to think outside the box for these sets but we were obsessed with how they turned out! Being mindful of waste and as resourceful as possible has been important to our team since Lightbox’s doors first opened, so we are extremely pleased that we were able to pull this off! We hope that this inspires you all to look at re-used items in a new way and get creative when you are thinking of styling your next photo session!
Let’s dive right in!
Meet Melly!
Waste Less Apparel was created out of the desire to be sustainable, attainable, & creative with the idea to waste less during our time here on earth. Every single one of these pieces are carefully created by my own hands with the environment in mind every step of the way.
As always, our favorite part of Shoot-Outs is seeing the photos by all of the INCREDIBLE photographer’s that come!
