Launch shortlist
The first public version should lead with these kinds of shoots.
This is not a final photo edit. It is the smaller review lane for deciding what Epic & Forever should feel like at launch: cinematic portraits first, then weddings, commercial stories, documentary/travel, and prints.
How to review
Judge feeling first, then frames.
Pick the shoots that feel like the future of the brand. Then, only for those shoots, call out favourite image numbers or mark them in curation.
- Lead with: strong eyes, posture, atmosphere, movement, location and enough mystery to feel cinematic.
- Reject as covers: blinking, BTS, people on phones, random location details, weak first-export frames, or anything that feels like a proof instead of a photograph.
- Sequence: outfit, light, location and emotional shift should create chapters inside a single shoot.
Portrait anchors
Shaylin at Bertram
The strongest current expression of the brand: sensual, cinematic, natural, directed, and unmistakably Okanagan.
Sophia at Paul's Tomb
A clean landscape portrait lane: lake, rock, trees, wind and quiet confidence.
Diana in Downtown Kelowna
Useful for the urban/editorial side of the brand: glass, movement, sunlight and contemporary Kelowna.
Mo in Smoke and Colour
A sensual studio lane, but still housed inside Portraits rather than a separate boudoir category.
Commercial, weddings, documentary
Kristina and Mark
Current wedding proof with ceremony, water, family texture and enough documentary feeling to sell the category.
Vanessa and Sep
Keep this in review, but replace the cover if a stronger dress, emotion or couple image is available.
Diva Den Day Spa
Commercial should show people, service and atmosphere, not just a business name.
Canadian geese and print path
Prints are inquiry-first for now, with Laminart pricing and the geese candidates ready for review.
Voice prompt for James
Tell me what belongs in the first public version.
For each shoot you like, say: keep / maybe / no, favourite image numbers if obvious, and one sentence about what the shoot felt like. That gives enough material to write real story intros without making the site sound generic.
