  Silvina, TSL 1998   Melissa Sudzina, BFIA 1996  
 

Battling the elements for this cover shot of model Silvina, for TSL — The Sporting Life, was a major challenge for the team in the drizzle of this fall Conneticut day.  Fortunately the enthusiasm of Silvana was a key to the success of the shoot.  For this cover and the rest of this fashion story, Landis used a Nikon F camera with an 85mm f2 lens and Tri-x film.  Tatijana Suljic-Shoan did make-up and hair, and Susan Sidor the fashion styling.

 

 

For this cover of Melissa for lingerie trade publication BFIA's May 1996 issue, Steve Landis chose to use only daylight to create a warm inviting mood for the photo. Landis used a Mamiya RZ67 with a 110mm lens and shot EPR-64 (E-6 processed at L&I Color, NYC) film.  Luisi Smith did Melissa's make-up and Matthew Williams her hair.
