Oriel Vane's capsule was six dark dresses. On white they looked like a size chart, so we built a set that gave them a time of day: olive seamless and a gelled spot behind the sitter, nothing else.

The light pool moved with her. Every frame in the capsule was made inside that one circle, which is why the set reads as a series on the product pages.

4 frames

Woman with a dark bob in a sleeveless charcoal dress, hand at her neck, against an olive backdrop. — The look book opener.

The woman laughing with one hand raised, a warm pool of light on the olive backdrop behind her. — Second look, first movement.

The woman with both hands behind her head, the warm light pool glowing behind her. — The pose the client asked for twice.

The woman smiling with her hands clasped, lit from the front against the warm glow. — End of the set, the spot still warm.
