Our models went out of their comfort zone, in both attire and environment. They trusted us. So often I see young girls aspiring to be models and trust photographers by wearing lingerie, and (unknowing or feels she 'has to') are exposed in a way a heart doesn't desire. They may end up with sexy or even raunchy images. This is the reality of this world.

Our models worked in the cold, no freezing, New England Autumn rain and showed us thier abilities are beyond looking regal, beyond being endearing. That they are also enduring; with a quite strength and eagerness to work with dignity and kindness - even in a literal storm. I am so proud of my team. They were singing in my library between takes and are just the loveliest models and people. 

Every model, here at Salvato Collection, is not only chosen for their physical beauty but that inner beauty that makes them so Salvato Collection. I see such great things for them in the future as other companies recognize their talents and abilities! I am proud of their work.

EDIT: I just want to clarify - these are my words. Not Allie Browns. Not my Models. I dont mean to take what Allie did here and make it about my models or my thoughts. This was a pouring out. Something that has been on my heart since day one. I guess, this is what Art does. It makes us reflect and even react. However, I appreciate support, comments, and all those who agree with some or even all my notions. 

​It's the capturing of, what we coin, 'retro Romance'. The dreamy elegance of the 1940's and 1950's. Small details. We love that so many others feel and desire nostalgic vintage jewelry or recreate that grand beauty by having their own vintage wedding. So just a little gratitude towards Marblemine for sharing and remembering with us! ​
