It really feels like I was just in Chicago yesterday completing the CB2 Spring Catalog, but it probably has been a couple of months. I spent 2 and a half weeks shooting with a great Chicago based team consisting of Jolene Rivera, our Art Director, you can see more of her work on Paul Lowe's wonderful online magazine Sweet Paul and Photographer Andy Barnes, It was so great to work with both of them.


While some of the Catalog was shot on location, I worked mainly on the studio portion. Working with a wonderful team of set builders at the Crate & Barrel Studio in Chicago, We created some magical sets that included a hotel foyer, a hotel room, a urban cafe and dusty old warehouse. I love the evolution that we go through to create these sets that often days/ weeks in the planning. While it's often grueling and requires a lot of manpower and attention to detail, It's just so fulfilling to see these sets born and photographed. As a Stylist on these sets, I need to think big picture in terms of how the entire picture will read right down to the rivets on a beam to the patina on a industrial goods lift. Everything needs to look authentic and believable.


Here is a selection that I worked on, The new CB2 Catalog has an exciting new look and it was great to be part of a new but ever evolving product.
