I grew up watching Star Wars, and like so many in my generation, I fell in love with the original trilogy. Fast forward a few decades, and here we are shooting product and lifestyle photography for the official Star Wars knitting book – what a kick! We spent quality time with old pals like R2D2 and Yoda, and we got to know new friends like the porgs.
One of our biggest challenges during this shoot was to create the look and feel of our different scenes for each world. From little Chewbacca inside of the Millennium Falcon, to our young Ewoks on Endor, creating these miniature worlds with sets, props, lighting, and imagination was great fun.
A big thank you to Caroline Hall (wardrobe and prop stylist) and Chris McDonald (hair and makeup) – always a pleasure to work with the two of you! And a special thank you to the team at Insight Editions for bringing me in to shoot this project.
