Today marks the release of my third installment of the fun and whimsical series, Bon Voyage. It's incredible to me to think that a simple idea behind this series would turn into three shoots, three collections of images, totaling 25 Bon Voyage passengersto date! The idea being, of course, to snap a photo of your hand holding a cocktail in an airplane window as youfly to your destination. The glamour and anticipation of your next adventure awaits. Well,three years in, that is exactly what has happened!
Much likemy other multi-installment series,Far Far Away or Gray Malin at the Parker, brainstorming prior is almost as fun as seeing the final product because it's all about discovering the inspiration. Once settled on thenew cast of characters, Team GM gets to work on researching and sourcing props. Considering this series is all about the nuances of style, it's always a bit of a treasure hunt to find just the right pieces to include in each new shot. ForBon Voyage III, it was no different and I'm happy to report that the resulting images are just what I had in mind!As you meet a few of our newest passengers be sure to pay attention, as you may noticesomething a little different...
## THE CHEF
## THE QUEEN B
## THE DREAMER
## THE FASHION ICON
Notice what's new? If you want to say that they're holding something other than a cocktail, then you'd be right! For the latest additions to Bon Voyage, I went beyond the cocktail and incorporated notable items that each iconic character is associated with, and the results made for an interesting collection of inspired shots. To see them all, be sure to head to the GM Shop at Bon Voyage III...
