In this blog post, I will be discussing my recent fashion shoot that showcases Native American Navajo culture. I decided to use a fashion shoot as a way to showcase this beautiful culture in a modern and stylish way that appeals to a broader audience.
One of the primary reasons why I chose to use a fashion shoot is that it allows me to highlight the intricate and vibrant designs and patterns that are prevalent in Navajo culture. These designs are not only stunning but also carry significant cultural and historical meaning. By incorporating these designs into a fashion shoot, I can showcase them in a fresh and contemporary way that will resonate with a modern audience.
Additionally, I chose to shoot this fashion editorial in the winter at the Rexburg Gardens for several reasons. First and foremost, the winter landscape provided a beautiful and stark contrast to the bold and colorful Navajo designs. The snow-covered grounds and leafless trees served as a perfect backdrop for the shoot, allowing the models and the garments to pop against the wintry landscape.
Furthermore, the Rexburg Gardens provided a peaceful and serene location that allowed us to capture the essence of Navajo culture. The gardens’ natural beauty and tranquility allowed us to create a sense of harmony between the models, the garments, and the environment, resulting in stunning images that truly capture the essence of Navajo culture.
Overall, I believe that this fashion shoot provides a fresh and contemporary perspective on Navajo culture, while also celebrating the culture’s rich history and traditions. By incorporating modern fashion and styling into the shoot, we were able to create something that appeals to a broad audience, while still staying true to the cultural roots of Navajo design.
