Seattle Goodwill Glitter Sale, Part 1: Jewelry and Accessories

October 19, 2016 by bretdossphoto

This fall marks the 33rd anniversary of Seattle Goodwill’s Annual Glitter Sale and my 3rd anniversary of photographing for the campaign. I look forward to it each year for a variety of reasons: shooting new items is always fun, each one is photographic puzzle to be solved I get to collaborate with Alyssa Cave for three shooting days, and with Katy Flynn and (this year) Angelisa Mozzone on garment day (more about that in the next post) I get to collaborate with Katherine Boury and […]

Engage

August 24, 2015 by bretdossphoto

I don’t shoot weddings. I really don’t. Don’t even ask me to do it. It is a specialty, and doing it right is too important, so I won’t dabble in it. But I will occasionally do engagement shoots for special people. Regular followers of this blog will recognize Alyssa Cave, and know that she is a very special friend, collaborator, and teammate. When she and her fiance’ asked me to collaborate on a unique engagement shoot, I was happy and honored […]

December #teamVIVA Cover & Editorial

December 8, 2014 by bretdossphoto

For our December party-styles-for-the-holiday-season themed cover/editorial shoot with #teamVIVA model Michelle Green, VIVAFASHIONISTAS Fashion Editor Alyssa Cave and I collaborated on the concept, looks, and the set design. She also did superb hair, make-up, and styling at the shoot. Local designer Camille Goodman graciously allowed us to use her sleek, chic Yuki dress for this shoot. I had first seen this when she wore it at the NYFA Fashion Show at SAM, and it was a jaw-dropping, audible gasp moment, and I’ve been wanting to photograph it ever […]

Paper Meets Fashion, VIVAFASHIONISTAS Meets BAM

March 9, 2014 by bretdossphoto

You may recall that, while ‘networking’ is not an activity I seek out, the Seattle Chapter of Fashion Group International hosts events that are well worth flexing out of my comfort zone. Another such event was held on February 11th: The Bellevue Arts Museum hosted a private tour for our FGI Chapter: Stefano Catalani, BAM’s Director of Art, Craft, & Design, gave us a personalized tour of the exhibit he himself had curated: A World of Paper, A World of Fashion […]

An Afternoon with Alyssa Cave

January 8, 2014 by bretdossphoto

Being a part of the VIVAFASHIONISTAS team is fantastic. The things I get to do, the people I get to meet & collaborate with, the opportunities around every corner, well, it is hard to overstate just how much I love it. For instance, I received a short message from our Fashion Editor, Alyssa Cave: “Hey, I was wondering if you have some free time on the weekend to do a quick location shoot for a piece I’m writing for Viva?” Cue […]

FORBIDDEN! The 6th Annual Forbidden Fashion Show

November 27, 2013 by bretdossphoto

Being a part of the VIVAFASHIONISTAS team has a number of benefits, chief among them being able to collaborate with all of the team members. Another is the ability to represent VIVA and cover exciting events (e.g. Steve Madden’s appearance). So when the opportunity to cover Metropolitan Fashion Week’s 6th Annual Forbidden Fashion Show held in The Loft at Russell’s, I jumped at the chance, rearranged my schedule, packed my gear, and got there early! After all, how often is one […]

Steve Madden Appearance: Coverage for VIVAFASHIONISTAS

October 21, 2013 by bretdossphoto

VIVAFASHIONISTAS Editor Michelle Elalto Cuneta contacted me to ask if I would be interested in covering an appearance by Steve Madden at Nordstrom Bellevue Square, including an in-person interview before the event. While some things can be lost in toneless, faceless text/email message exchanges, some things can be hidden, too. For instance, I was able to seem calm and nonchalant in the email, hoping the schedules were do-able. Heh. Do-able? Cancel & Rearrange with Extreme Prejudice to make it do-able! Shhhhhhh…. Michelle doesn’t need […]
