Styling Before the Shutter

Vintage gold, styled with warmth.

This series was created for a local Chicago brand, featuring vintage necklaces with distinct character.

I used warm-toned books as the foundation—echoing the richness of the gold and offering a quiet contrast that let each pendant speak. Crescent moons, star medallions, bold stones—each piece holds its own rhythm. Styling helps surface that voice before the shutter clicks.

There’s a quiet satisfaction in turning everyday materials into something unexpected.

That’s the beauty of studio work: transforming the familiar into something visually striking.
