Sartorialist Behind the Scenes

Sartorialist in Stocks Mill

Senior and former Collegian photo editor William Clayton shot last issue's Sartorialist pictures at the Stocks Mill downtown in about an hour. Freshman Aaron Schepps was his model.


Clayton took this shot in an abandoned warehouse portion of the mill, he said, where a huge stack of crates provided a backdrop to Schepps. The room was dark enough to fade away from the subject he said.


For lighting in the shoot, Clayton used devices like a "beauty dish" and "shoot-through-umbrella."

Clayton said he wanted the backgrounds to make Schepps stand out, instead of distracting from him.

"I was looking for a little bit more contrasting shots," he said, "like more focused on the subject than the background. A background always being darker than the subject in the foreground just to make him pop."


Although this is a close-up, Clayton was standing about 30 feet away from Schepps for this shot, he said. He used a 70-200 mm lens.

Clayton used a Nikon D300 camera to take these pictures.

Photos by Elena Salvatore/Collegian

1. Start with a regular (or inside out) French braid.

2. Braid around your head till you get to the middle of the back of your neck.

3. Then, switch your hands, bend your head down and braid up.

4. Keep braiding until you don’t have any more hair to pick up.

5. Finish off the braid, wrap the hair behind the other braid and pin.

Tada! Now your hair is beautiful.

Wine

Looking for something to round out that romantic dinner for two this weekend? Web Editor Michael Mayday sampled two different wines for us from Kroger, both less than $7.

1. Gato Negro's 2009 Merlot, Chile. $5.99

This bright red wine goes well with any fish dish, or, of course, any red meat.
Very fruity, dry finish.




2. Aconga's 2009 Chenin Blanc-Chardonnay, Argentina. $5.99

Photo credits: Michael Mayday

 $5.99 at Krogers

This white wine is an interesting mix of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay wines, and as with any white wine, it should be paired with white meat, like chicken, or pasta. The Chenin Blanc throws a curveball into the mix, and gives it a slightly wider range of food parings. Try it with something spicy or oriental. Best with poultry. Fruity, slight apple taste, wet finish.
