Creative Process

We photograph Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin against green and grey backgrounds for an iconic shot. Portrait photography for magazines needs to look clean. We prefer to avoid a distracting background because it can clash with the text.

Most cover photos for magazines have solid color backgrounds and a color palette that pops. The goal is for potential readers to pick up the magazine because of its bold photo draws their eye.

Among other outfit changes, background adjustments, and lens swaps, Consuelo poses with Jimmy Dennis.
