I am currently back in the Windy City, Chicago on another CB2 Catalog for Spring but timing wise the Holiday Catalog I worked on back in July has just come out! This is my first CB2 Catalog so it is very exciting! Our section shown here shot by the very talented Photographer Alec Hemer, you can see his other work at www.triciajoyce.com. Alec and I have worked together before on other projects.

As mentioned before Christmas (or the Holiday’s as it’s called in the U.S) is a big part of the year when it comes to a Stylist. Sometimes, depending on the bookings, it can feel like at least 6 months of the year if doing back-to-back Holiday themed shoots. CB2 is a refreshing take as the approach is contemporary and clever, not too many cliques or expected ways of seeing this theme, so as a Stylist, this is both more challenging but also more liberating.

The color palette for CB2 is always largely bright, although in this catalog we did slip into a darker place palette wise in some set-ups, all these pictures are sets that have been carefully designed and constructed by the talented team at the studio. Working through ideas, The sets are inspired with the thought of keeping each space contemporary, often loft like and urban. CB2 do a mix of location and studio, but for our section this time it was in the studio.

Look out for more Holiday themed shoots here in the near future! After all “Tis is the Season!”
