Cuffington + Orbit Gum + The SF Style = Magic Hour

My cousin Dan is a cinematographer, and can talk for days about the effects lighting has on a shot.  Long ago he once told me that around an hour before dusk settles and the sun goes down comes the time of day called the Magic Hour, when everything is bathed in a beautiful golden light and is flattering to every person who basks in those precious moments.  Some say this is why movie stars don't mind arriving "late" to a premeire or event - their photos will look superb!

I am certainly not a star, in film or otherwise.  That said, it's always fun to help out friends and play the role of model in various collaborations.  Dyanna and JT of The SF Style have been doing a series with one of their sponsors, Orbit Gum.  I got to create an outfit based on what quickly became my favorite flavor - Maui Melon Mint.  The fact that the shoot took place during the golden Magic Hour time of day really gave me a much needed boost in the glowing skin department as well.

Check out this entry on The SF Style for more pictures from the shoot.  Thank you so much for the fun afternoon, and the delicious gum. Magic, indeed.
