The Vision:
Nestled at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains, Palm Springs embodies a lifestyle that seamlessly blends rugged desert terrain with bold, modern design. During Modernism Week, I had the opportunity to collaborate with a local resident to capture the vibrant energy of outdoor living in this iconic setting.
Inspired by the fusion of mid-century modern aesthetics and contemporary design, this shoot focused on the striking contrast between bold colors, geometric patterns, and the warm desert backdrop. Every frame was designed to highlight Palm Springs' signature style—where luxury meets nature in the most effortless way.
Behind the Scenes:
A huge shoutout to @missddstarr, whose style, energy, and natural charisma in front of the camera elevated the shoot to the next level. Together, we played with dynamic angles, rich textures, and dramatic desert light to create images that celebrate the Palm Springs way of life—chic, carefree, and endlessly stylish.
From poolside lounging to sun-drenched patios, we aimed to showcase the effortless sophistication and relaxed elegance that define outdoor living in this iconic destination.
Final Results:
The final images reflect the vibrant spirit of Palm Springs, capturing the essence of desert modernism, leisure, and sun-soaked indulgence. Whether it’s the bold architecture, colorful design, or the breathtaking mountain views, this shoot was all about embracing the magic of Modernism Week.
