Fashion | Energy Challenge Connects Students to Pros



On Monday Jan. 11, 2010 at DST Studios in North Palm Springs, 25 DATA digital imaging students had the opportunity to work alongside local professionals and DATA alumni on a real world photography shoot surrounding the concept of fashion | energy.

Students worked with photographers, hair and make up stylists, art direction, and DATA teachers all on one of the largest cyclorama sound and photography stages in southern California.  Dick Taylor, the studio manager, shared the history of the studio and how it has been used for Ford Motor Company's west coast advertising and various other productions.

With in the almost 6,000 square foot studio, students were engaged in three tethered-shooting lighting set ups focusing on clothing from Epidemic Skateshop, the 2010 DATA t-shirt, a 2010 Ford Festiva, and painting with light.

  1. I got the opportunity to participate in an epidemic photo shoot. It was the first time I had ever been on a real photo shoot set. Along with being able to take pictures, I also got to be a model for our new DATA shirts, designed by Brandon Aponte.
