“The vibrant colors. The music and dance. The colorfully flavorful foods. Haiti. The concept of a ‘Modern Tropical’ theme is something that I was inspired by when coming up with the concept for this shoot, but what mostly inspired the shoot was the essence of Haitian culture. This shoot meant a lot to me because I am in fact Haitian American. I wanted to take some elements of the Haitian culture and modernize them in this Tropical Shoot. Instead of taking the typical route and use the colors of the Haitian flag, I decided to go deeper and be inspired by the culture. Throughout this shoot we incorporated elements of music, food, and lots and lots of color from the cake, to the florals, and all way to shoes. Prepare to be transported to Haiti.”

Please share unique details from your shoot:

A very unique detail included the appetizers. We incorporated one of the Haitian culture’s most popular meals, “Banan Peze” (fried plantain), “Griot” (fried pork), and we accented them with “Pekliz” (pickled cabbage and carrot spice), and avocado which is not traditionally paired with this meal, but gave it a nice green pop of color.
