Stephanie Ly Fever 3

Continuing with the steph series. When introducing this style to her, I told her that I wanted to do a softer look for her that was a departure from all the glitz and glam shots she's been getting from a majority of the photographers she's worked with (including me! aiya). So in the spirit of STIR, we decided to stir things up by slowing things down for her and doing a shoot where we could get to know steph as a girl and not as a model.

STIR was born out of a desire to stir up the industry by showing models in a different light, showing videos and interviews that allowed her fans to see the personalities behind the girls; encouraging the audience to take a step back from the deafening hip hop tracks and the blinding bright club lights.

Besides, my crew and I were sick of seeing model videos with monotonous hip hop tracks and dizzying camera movements... so we decided to show people how we'd like to do things.

Thank you all for all your support for the STIR Project. Everyone on DA is, and always has been a great source of inspiration and motivation for me throughout these years. The STIR project is the accumulation of all the +favs and all the comments and advice that you all give me. The STIR Project is really a thank you to all my friends out there in DA. Which is why i decided to make STIR content completely free.

I hope to launch the site in april, in time for summer.

Again, if anyone is interested in helping out with the project either as a Writer, Art Director, Graphic Designer, Photographer (to shoot girls in your area), Typographists, Stylists, etc.. please send me a note or an email!
