How Sarah Silver stays creative by being organized

Fashion and beauty photographer Sarah Silver might be best known for her bold, playful, and colorful visuals, but behind every image lies a bulletproof workflow and process that make it all possible. For Sarah, creativity doesn’t come from chaos. It’s built on structure.   In this quick Q&A, she shares how preparation fuels her imagination, the systems that keep her shoots running smoothly, and the tools she relies on from concept to final export.  What’s essential when prepping for a shoot?  There’s so much information coming at me from all sides while prepping a shoot, so filing everything properly for easy retrieval is a MUST. I have pre-made digital folders, shoot sessions, job checklists/tasks, and naming conventions that keep me on track and consistent for EVERY project I undertake. I find that if all the pieces are in the right place, it opens my mind to maximum creativity. Do you have any post-production advice for us?  Post means so much more to me than just retouching. It also includes proper file storage. When backing up files after a shoot, I use on-site RAIDS …

Making Every Image Tell the Story

We followed art director Olivia Cho Lund as she captured her latest project, Finding You to Find Myself, a striking blend of surreal portraiture and deeply personal storytelling. We got the chance to see her own layered identity, and the collaborative energy of her team helped shape the project.  Born and raised in Brazil, living in France, and now based in Denmark, Olivia has always carried a complex sense of self. But it was her Korean heritage, the “deepest hidden layer,” as she calls it, that inspired this journey.   Along the way, she connected with Danish individuals who were subjected to adoption from Korea, people who, like her, navigate the intertwined paths of belonging and self-definition.  “This project is an exploration of cultural identity, a red thread that weaves together immigrants, multicultural individuals, and those subjected to adoption, revealing one of the many facets that shape who we are: our Koreanness.”  From makeup dusted with gochugaru, to gestures frozen mid-movement, to surreal camera effects revealing inner worlds, every detail was intentional. And every detail needed …

Shaping “Starlight”: How distance built connection

Francis Tama, visual creator and founder of post-production studio Casa Dusk, has a strong editorial eye and is the creative mind behind many fashion, beauty, and still-life photoshoots.  In spring, Francis took on the creative direction of Starlight, a fashion editorial for PAP Magazine. Featuring delicate contrasts between light and shadow, rich textures, and emotive color palettes, the editorial was built with intention: clean, calm, and focused.   What makes Starlight unique, is that it was created entirely remotely. Francis decided to collaborate with people he’d met while living abroad, after he’d connected deeply with them both personally and creatively. Starlight, conceptualized by Tama and Casa Dusk studio, was the result of a harmonious collaboration, a shared visual language and trust.   We asked Francis to tell us about the project’s concept, how Capture One made the remote creative direction possible, and the team’s collaborative process. Here’s what he shared.  Can you tell us a bit about the concept and story behind this shoot?  Starlight was born from the desire to explore softness, distance, and connection — …
