1. What is the official name of your photography business? (website also)
Kelly Cappelli is the name of my photography business. My website is www.kellycappelli.com
2. Where are you located?
I am located in LA and Phoenix
3. What was your inspiration for this image?
I was inspired by the vintage gown in this image. It reminded me of royalty. I had the make up and hair styled with more of a vintage era accentuating the pale skin, leaving the eyes bare and a deep, gorgeous red for the lips.
4. Do you plan which images to take or are they spontaneous?
My images are both planned and spontaneous. I love shooting both studio and location. Studio is a much more controlled environment and lighting is my passion but locations offer amazing, creative challenges that I am also inspired by.
5. Is there anything in particular that you love about this shot?
This photo was shot in an enormous warehouse filled from top to bottom with furniture. I love that you can't really see what is going on just inches from the edges of the photo. I found this beautiful door buried way in the back in the dark. Once I saw the detail I knew it was perfect for the "royalty like" feel that I wanted for the stunning gown.
6. What is it about your photography that speaks to an individual or a couple looking for someone to capture special moments?
I started as a Creative Director in fashion. I think my photography has a unique and special angle due to the many years of viewing shoots with another vision other than just shooting a photo.
7. Is there anything else special that you would like to share with the audience?
I am self taught and shoot from the heart with passion.
