QDUAERENK
Written by Julie Powers

I spent the better part of my Sunday in the
studio. e task at hand was
shooting the cover for RISE Magazine; a
project that we - the team charged
with this particular endeavor - had been
planning for several weeks. People are often
curious about what goes into an editorial
shoot. I’ve been fortunate to have
been working with photographer Kerri Jean
for several years now, and to have
done many editorial shoots with her. e
planning starts early.
Magazines need their material well in advance
of publication, so you will often
nd yourself shooting swimsuits in the snow
or Christmas literally in July.

T“ EAM WORK MAKES
THE DREAM WORK
”

In this case, the advance planning wasn’t that extreme, but
we did start discussing what we wanted to do weeks ago. We
put together our team, which for us has become standard:
Kerri does the photography, I do makeup and frequently
pitch in on wardrobe styling, Chie Sharp does hairstyling
and keeps an eye out for details while we’re shooting, and we
have a pool of reliable, “go-to” models we work with,
knowing that they are both professional and great to be
around. For this shoot, we chose Madison Kae Scroggin to
be our model.
Knowing Madison’s look and style, and Kerri having the
idea that she wanted to do something fairytale/fantasy, she
started a collaborative mood board. As we started talking
about it and throwing out ideas, the concept shifted from
something that was woodsy and used antlers to something
that was more of a “Dark Queen” look.
Another thing that’s important to understand about
editorial work is that it generally isn’t paid. e team creates
the editorial; everything from the hair and makeup, the
wardrobe and accessories, the props and set, the lighting,
everything on their own. You are spending money rather
than making it. It’s an opportunity to demonstrate what you
can do, to make art with a creative team. You collaborate
and, if you’re lucky, you get published and perhaps get
noticed.
Madison and her mother actually made the crown that
Madison is wearing in her images. It’s fantastic. She shared
the pictures of it with us as they built it, and in turn, that
helped us develop our own concepts further. All of that, so
that by the time we get to the day of the shoot, we know
what we’re doing, and while allowing for some spur of the
moment creative inspiration, we’re on track from the
moment we hit the door.



Our call today was at 1pm. I arrived about 25 minutes early, to
get set up before Madison arrived. Kerri and Doug, her boyfriend
and assistant for this shoot, were already in studio getting the
camera set up together. Daisy Duke, Kerri’s service dog (and the
real star of the show), was there as always with a friendly wag.
Madison arrived on time, but at the last minute, Chie wasn’t able
to be with us, so Kerri and I pooled our skills. I showed Kerri how
to do one of Chie’s go-to hairstyling tricks, and she proceeded to
start on Madison’s hair, while I began her skin prep for makeup.
A great saying in the industry is “Teamwork makes the Dream
work” and it is absolutely true. We all have our roles, but in a
pinch, you pitch in and do what you have to do to get the job
done.

Hair and makeup for this shoot took about 2
hours. It was more involved than a standard
clean beauty look, and with Kerri and I tag
teaming on the hair, we were moving
more slowly than we might otherwise.
Once I nished Madison’s makeup,
I took over the hair duties from
Kerri Jean, so she could go back
to setting up to shoot.
Kerri’s set up was actually pretty
involved, as she was using a
technique she had learned in a
class with Jake Hicks. It involved
creating an in camera e ect by
shooting through a glass shower
door covered with cling wrap. ere
was a gel aimed at the glass to create
a colored glow e ect, and as she shot
through the glass door, that e ect was
captured in the camera itself. What
you see in the nal images is a result
of that setup, not photoshop. e
camera was tethered to a laptop, so the
image was visible immediately onscreen.
Kerri had also decided to live broadcast
the shoot on Facebook as well.
e shoot itself took about 45 minutes,
with a number of adjustments to the
door, the cling wrap, the model and her
costume, and the camera. We had fun
broadcasting it live, though, and hopefully
it was informative for those who were
able to join us for that. Once that was
done, there was, of course, some post
processing work to be done, but that’s the
jist of how the creative process works.
e result of all of that is pictured in this
issue. We hope that you enjoy this glimpse
into the process, and the work of all the
artists who work so hard to bring you
amazing imagery month after month. If it
inspires or moves you, then it’s de nitely
been worth it!

Between Heaven and Hell, Good
and Bad, Right and Wrong. We as
humans always needs an explanation

for our way of being and our
actions. Being all so di erent

from one another, chasing
di erent dreams and ambitious,
trying to create or communicate.

Live and peace with no fear,
work together instead of
putting each other down.

anks to the stars, as long as
time and light we tried to
explain ourselves to others,

focusing more on our
opposite ends rather than
similar ways. And like sky
at night without the moon, or
rain without clouds, the di erent
characters we all have and face would
not survive without that contrast.

DARK STAR

Written by Kaylen Shelby
2 PM, the rst ursday in June. Collierville,
Tennessee, located just outside of Memphis, is
the picture of cozy and quiet suburban life. And
in the heart of one of the neverending subdivi-
sions, a makeup artist is gluing rhinestones to a
model’s face while a faux-hawk is being teased
up. Multi-colored wigs adorn Styrofoam heads,
lined up on shelves along the wall. Someone is
having a dress built onto them. Pam Fields, one
of the sta photographers for RISE Magazine,
has a studio located in Collierville, and is in the
middle of the hustle and bustle of preparing for
the shoot. She and her daughter Kaylen Shelby,
another sta member, have been collecting
wardrobe, pulling together makeup and hair
artists, and driving across town to pick up props
like a judge’s scale, a 5 foot long bow, and a large
water vase. All of these elements come together
to create the shoot they have titled “Dark Star”,
which is directly inspired by di erent signs of the
zodiac.

e signs portrayed are Scorpio,
Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Libra.
Scorpio and Sagittarius are both
edgy looks, and Aquarius and Libra
are more ethereal. e clothing
items included everything from
leggings and spiked vests to owing
skirts and corsets. e common
theme among them is all black
wardrobe and harsh shadows, both
of which are prevalent in most of
Fields’ work. Others involved in the
shoot include Mat Brown, hair
stylist, who is not new to working
with Pam. Makeup artist Mary Ann
Woods, also new to working with
this team, has been involved in other
shoots with prevalent members of

Memphis’ creative community.



19 year old local Rebecca Harper, Saggi-
tarius, was the rst model shot. Her bow
and arrow were real and functional,
coming with detailed instructions about
how to string the bow and how long it
could be strung. Agency represented
Camilla Curran (AMAX Talent),
Scorpio, was next to be featured. Mat
wove dark netting into her natural blond
hair and braided it to give the image of a
scorpion's tail. Last minute addition
Aviana Monasterio, represented by
Colors Talent, was slated as Libra with
her pair of scales and skirt reminiscent of
a judge’s robe. e shoot ended with
Kaylen Shelby, represented by Haymen
Talent, as Aquarius, holding a vase with
the silvery-white inside of her black dress
a xed to the inside, lending to the
illusion of water being poured out.
Following the shoot, Pam Fields was
excited to begin the editing process and
as always, in the back of her mind,
planning the next shoot.
