Featuring NBC’s Fashion Star Designer Ross Bennett
greggcestaro.com Finally catching up on some recent work including this awesome opportunity to photograph Ross Bennett’s collection for Broadway+Thresher magazine. The Ross Bennett Collection was founded in 2008 by Ross and his wife, Erin Bennett. The Ross Bennett collection is a labor of love with one main goal in mind: to bring classic, custom tailoring back to modern, everyday life by launching a custom clothing line and is featured in NBC’s ‘Fashion Star. Cool too, was the jewelery was provided by Austin-based Kendra Scott. The venue was at the Swan Dive in Austin – an all white background, painted and furnished, that was a nice way of highlighting the fashion. I like the way all of them came out, but my favorite pics are the Erica and Kendall pulling the necklace shot and the Mitchell standing at the bar shot (the first two photos). Another speedy photoshoot as the venue allowed us only three hours or so. All were shot with my Pin-up lighting config and post production bumps. There was this modern vintage kind of feel I wanted to capture in this series – a quaint small town downtown Americana thing. See the Behind the Scenes video below:
