For the past month I have been working hard to launch a online fashion/lifestyle publication called Standard Social. It is a part of Standard Style Boutique in Kansas City. It features articles on local Kansas City events and entertainment, music and movie reviews as well as health & fitness articles, fashion trends and tips and finally a section called “On The Streets” where I go out in the city and take photograph of great people with a good sense of fashion.
I had the opportunity to shoot in downtown Kansas City at an ‘ultra-modern’ loft near 18th and Baltimore. The interior was designed with all white appliance and cabinetry that made for a stark contrast between background and subject. I processed the file with a ‘bleach bypass’ to give it an even more clean feel. With the styling (Milly polo and skirt), make-up and hair it made for a very modern yet retro look. Check it out on Ryan Strong Photography.
So I shot this video with a consumer digital camera while out and about the city with the crew this past Thursday night. It is a promo teaser for Standard Social, an entertainment/event outlet for Standard Style Boutique.
I brought the footage into iMovie HD and quickly learned how to edit on the spot… I was pretty satisfied with it for my first attempt. I wish I had Adobe Premiere to edit with! Oh and a Canon 5d MKII to shoot with
It was fun documenting the night and interesting to look back at it.
