Wildflower Couture: A Lancaster Styled Shoot
High fashion meets Amish farmland in a Strasburg styled shoot — couture gowns, garden-gathered bouquets, and sample-studios light.

Couture, on a working farm outside Strasburg
The brief was to put four couture gowns somewhere they had no business being, and see what happened. What happened is that Amish farmland turns out to be an extraordinary backdrop for silk — all that flat green, and a sky doing most of the work.
Four o'clock, full sun
The hour everyone waits for
Last frame, walking back
The field, through the afternoon
Light moves fast over open ground with nothing to break it. These were taken about forty minutes apart.
Details worth stealing, in no particular order.
“Everyone assumes couture needs a marble staircase. It needs light, and there is more of that in a hayfield than in any ballroom I have shot in.”
