A few months ago, I hired out a studio and booked one of my favourite models Jacqueline Moretta to create some fashion content to show prospective clients. I can see that my future is in the fashion/beauty industry, so I'm focusing my energy in that direction. Being behind the camera with someone posing in front of my lens is my happy place. Angles, colour and composition are the artistic elements I love to craft with.
But then there is also the technical side of things. Current trends lean towards vertical video for Instagram reels and YouTube Shorts. Once the video was arranged using Premiere Pro, I created a linked After Effects composition to add some visual effects. I used the new Rotobrush 2 tool to mask out the model for the intro and added some motion tracked graphics.

We shot enough content to create about 10 reels, but I've only found the time to edit one other. Here is more of a high fashion reel with a warm film feel. Note the different levels of slow motion used to create a dreamy ethereal mood.
We had a great time shooting that day. And we couldn't help ourselves, so we also took some photos too. Take a minute to scroll through my instagram @boramveli to find them.
