[…] Brooke Shaden’s creativity allows her to create awe-inspiring dresses and unusual photos using yarn, sticks, garbage dumpster finds and thrift store dresses. Sometimes, it’s just a few yards of fabric. She’ll wrap it around the model and composite the rest of the flowing “gown” in later. […]

Hey Brooke!

I created this photo a while ago but since you were talking about photos on a budget I thought I’d share this one. It was really challanging because I’m the person in the photo so I could hardly see anything with th bandage wrapped around my head haha. I got three 4.5m long bandages for under $10.00

Also I love reading your blog! You are such an inspiration!

I’m so happy I watched this video, I feel like its incredibly easy to get sucked into planning wardrobe and props. I often put shoots on hold just to save up a budget. I watched this and whipped up some props from what I have already have.

Thanks for putting education out there. And hopefully I’ll be able to attend your late night in Iowa this summer.

Heres my shot from nothing:

Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us. You are a huge inspiration for me. The little french girl I am is like a kid who just discovered a treasure : your art, your world. A world which is full of magic where everything is possible and in which you’re inviting us. And I love it.
Moreover your words are so powerful ! After watching your videos, I always feel invincible. You give me hope and courage. Even though I know my work is bad, I will continue to take photos because I love it and I want to improve myself. It makes me feel free and I’ve the impression to grow up more and more.
I wish I could meet you and thank you personnaly (it’s one of my dreams, but as you said, all of our dreams can come true ! 🙂 ). I hope you’ll come to Paris one day.

This is one of my humble pictures : I only chose some socks in my closet and shot myself in front of my biiig window. As I had no tripod, I put books and school files in a pile to support my camera. That’s it !

Thank you for all Brooke ! I wish all your dreams will come true !

I am so inspired by your work. You always motivate me to stretch myself and not be afraid to try something new. This is a fun image that I created on vacation to the Florida Keys last week. The lighting wasn’t what I usually use for my images but just went with the spontaneity of the situation and tried to deal with it in post 🙂

These kinds of messages make me so happy. I really envy my best friend who does fashion photography and he has hair stylists and make up artists every shoot. But I'm happy enough to have control over all those aspects to make the image truly my own. And it's so much more fun to buy yards of plain fabric and drape a subject to create whatever I want like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cheekyxo/12642257455/ Thank you for the invigorating message. It's giving me some much needed motivation to shoot more this week.
