Oh Where, Oh Where Did My Luggage Go??

I had fun with this DLS exercise. Our mission was to take two vintage suitcases and use them as props in a photo shoot. I wanted to challenge myself so I chose to do still life. I find I have to use a lot of creative energy trying to evoke an emotion out of something that doesn’t normally show “emotions” (including my husband, lol).


For this shoot, I used the city as much as I could for the time I had to try to create a unique backdrop for each shot. My steadfast assistant traveled with me, braving crying babies, flash floods and tornadoes to help me get this completed. Okay, the tornado may be a slight exaggeration but the flash flood was definitely a possibility. I don’t think I’ve seen a thunderstorm like it in ages! All for the love of luggage.


At the end of it all, when the sun was well past the horizon, we took to the streets to muster up some people just for the fun of it. Brave soles.
