I’m so, so, so excited to be announcing the launch of a new line of photoshoots: in(SCP)iration sessions! It’s really great to be able to do something I love, and I really look forward to working with creative individuals who want to express their in(SCP)irations.
What is it? An in(SCP)iration session is a fashion-focused lifestyle photoshoot! What inspires you? Be it a certain detail, object, color, location, vibe, in(SCP)iration clients get extra attention upfront with Shang Chen Photography to visualize, plan, and execute a photo session that truly expresses their creativity and personality at heart. Planning includes location scouting and wardrobe review. An in(SCP)iration session is not a fashion shoot in the sense that there will be tons of lighting setups or sets, it is not meant to be overwhelming or for models. Rather, Shang Chen applies her personal and energetic approach to lifestyle photography to the client’s vision. Men and women who would like to tell a story or encapsulate the definition of their style should consider an in(SCP)iration session. Think of it as a time capsule of your style and personality right now.
You can scroll down past the photos to see more detail. With that being said Judith and I had been planning her in(SCP)iration session for over a month now to launch the line. With this shoot, I was really looking to feature a couple sides of Judith – an extremely fashionable side, a comfortable / cute side, and mix in a little noir / darkness. We had makeup help from the very awesome Ligia of Makeovers by Ligia. And lots of thanks to my assistants Nithya and Emily for helping out! Look out – in the summer we will be reinterpreting Judith’s in(SCP)iration with a summer glow!

I love this damask cube in Judith’s apartment

I don’t know how Judith managed, but she was really fierce in the heels she chose for the outdoor segment

Want one of your own? All in(SCP)iration sessions include consultations (in-person, via email, and over the phone) to determine the style of the shoot, up to 2 hours of unlimited photographs at the photoshoot, and a proofing gallery of up to 6 months afterwards. A la carte products include an on-site makeup artist, a disc of photos, individual photo purchases, prints and canvases. Clients are responsible for providing wardrobe and certain props. 2010 Pricing: Sitting fee is $225. Prints, discs, travel, make-up artist, and other considerations are priced separately.
Can’t wait to show you more! I have 3 more in(SCP)iration shoots already planned for this year!
