PHOTOGRAPHER| Nicole Marcelli Photography Model| Stefanie Dolenc Hair and Make Up and Styling| Mel Akana McIntosh LOS ANGELES FIRM: In your opinion what do you think photographers and graphic designers should focus on more within the fashion communities? NICOLE MARCELLI: Relationships are the most impor- tant. Building them and finding the right fit when it comes to collaborating or working with others within the fashion community. It has been my experience that once you find a great team that has chemistry the output of work has a higher caliber of creative energy to consistently get the best work done. The people I know in the community who are doing the most cool projects are the ones who have identified other like minded creatives that form a reliable team that are always coming up with new concepts to execute. If this was more of a common occurrence not only would it strengthen the community as a whole but the overall quality of work done as a result would be elevated. This has been my experience with collaborating with a graphic design artist. And the result has been great. www.shopjessicarich.com LOS ANGELES FIRM: Who is you favorite model?
