Behind the Lens: FGW Photo Shoot

As most of you know, FGW sponsors an online blog called The Aesthetic Omnivore. Part of the blog is dedicated to creating and showcasing original content in the form of photo essays and fashion editorial spreads. As part of the original content for our blog and to art direct our new Focus Group West brochure, we teamed up with our architect John Lum and a San Francisco-based photographer Philip Harvey for our first Focus Group West Fashion Shoot.

Check out some behind-the-scenes shots from shoot day:

Thomas (FGW) fitting (model) Khrystyna with eyewear.

Blake and Becky (FGW) collaborate with photographer Philip Harvey and team.

FGW's Heather talks to (model) Corey while he's prepped by Veronica Sjoen with hair and makeup.

Stylist Deborah Dapalito makes last minute changes on Corey.

Models Khrystyna and Gregory Peralta (from Look Model Agency) hard at work with photographer Philip Harvey and FGW team.
