Wilma & Friends 2019 Season Photography

‘What fun activities would Wilma do with her friends?’

In developing a creative concept for Wilma and Friends’ 2019 Season, this question set the imagination into a wild frenzy.

In the end we settled on something that would work a treat:  Wilma has a tea party!

On the day of the studio shoot, we turned on the party tunes, and had fun with some props, one of which was a special fern I’d brought from home that I wanted Stefan to use.  (It’s all about the fronds, baby!).  The visuals needed to be fun, relaxed, and friendly. The colours needed to ‘pop’, so I opted for a white background, and the use of a pair 60 inch umbrellas that allowed for a clean and soft spread over the musicians. The musicians were asked to come in clothes they would usually wear to a garden tea party.

There was much laughter, chatter, cake and biscuits! The shoot of a party ended up being a bit of a party. It was one of the funnest shoots I’d done in a while, and I think the party vibes translated well in the final images.
