My friends Meredith and Linda worked together on some really nice and over the top men's fashion pieces for a UNCG fashion show last fall. We got together a few months ago to document their designs as portfolio pieces. I would do some things differently concerning the lighting in this shoot if I could go back, but over all the colors composition came out nice in post. Tanner is the only soul in Greensboro brave enough to wear some of these outfits. The Greensboro College campus was a surprisingly fruitful location, which I may try to use again in the future..
