stylist

i work for a commercial photographer named john laptad.  i basically 'style' fabric to look its best for a photo.   i style on models, plastic heads, manequins, out in the field with models, on a large white board.  most of the clothing and goods i work on end up in catalogs and web pages. 
dakine, pistil, and ibex are a few of the projects i have assisted in styling.   

tools of the trade: steamer, iron, clothes pins, sewing pins, aluminium tape, double-sided tape, chop stick, measuring tape, ruler, foam core and whatever we think of that can assist us in making items "look" perfect.  one at a time... the most recent job was approx.  600 pieces.  wow!  i had blisters on my finger tips from pulling pin in and out.

images below are ibex outdoor clothing we styled at the studio.
