Dramatic Seaside Sunnies

The 'Eva by David K. Shields' Shoot Expresses Coastal Fashion

With the sun as strong as ever, the need for fashionable eyewear -- like the sunglasses featured in this 'Eva by David K. Shields' shoot -- is certainly apparent. This shoot was captured by none other than David K. Shields, who is known for his stunning fashion photography. Shields has an undeniable talent for capturing femininity through his portrait shots and this shoot featuring model Eva is no excepetion.

Fashion pieces from big name labels like Prada, Miu Miu, Prada, Jaime Lee and Josh Goot help the shoot to achieve a high-fashion look, while set against a rugged coastline. This shoot has the perfect mix of rough coastal climate and soft feminine ensembles.

Implications - Feminine fashion shoots seem even more soft and flowing when set against rugger costal settings. The mix of rough backdrops with muted and delicate motifs is a great way for companies to highlight the lightweight, yet durable nature of their products. Businesses can strive to create contrast in an unlikely way so as to entice viewers to complicate their understandings of the brand itself.
