When Seasons Meet

"When Seasons Meet" savors the last traces of summer and anticipates the warmth and depth that autumn brings. It celebrates the present with a nod to the past and the anticipation of the future.

Our intent:

With this collaborative series, Stylist Christy Day and I set out to create a visual representation of the transitionary time when the heat of summer has passed, but the cozy sweater weather of fall has not yet arrived.

Our Approach:

We chose to display the contrast of the soft pastels of summer, intermingled with the rich, earthy tones of fall. Vibrant yellows and greens give way to the deeper, muted hues of autumn, where the last rays of summer linger before transitioning to the golden light of fall. The color palette story was an opportunity to introduce an additional cohesive element to the project. A rustic autumn-like background creates a tonal setting that makes the pastels of summer pop. The light in this series plays a key role—neither bright and harsh nor soft and gentle—expressing the subtle shift between the seasons.

This shoot was an exercise in maintaining a consistent aesthetic across different subjects. By carefully using light, color, and texture, we showcased food, flowers, and fabrics in a way that ties everything together for a seamless, unified vision.
