Kelly Robyn Mann just recently returned from Paris, France. In Paris, she worked alongside Steven Silverstein, one of the top photographer's in the fashion industry. In Paris, Kelly learned the ins and outs of the fashion business. She attended Fashion shows at Paris Haute Couture Week, shot on location and in studio. For one of her studio shoots she photographed one of a kind Haute Couture gowns designed by Georges Chakra. Now that Kelly is back in the U.S. she currently resides in Southern California where she is working on her portfolio, and her next exhibit "Film Noir."
Kelly is skilled in film and digital photography. She shoots, styles and directs the modern, yet classic editorial fashion stories that she puts together single handedly. "I need to feel a connection to my work. I consider myself to be the Art Director that creates and oversees the entire process." Her greatest artistic influences consist of Helmut Newton, Lillian Bassman, and Karl Lagerfeld, but among all of these talented artists, Kelly's biggest influence is Director Alfred Hitchcock. "I've always considered Alfred Hitchcock to be a true cinematic genius. You must pay close attention to his films to sincerely understand his amazing mind. His use of camera angles, shadows, and lighting is what helped develop my eye for photography." Kelly currently has a personal blog to keep everyone up to date on her thoughts, travels, current inspirations and ideas. You can keep up with Kelly at www.TheBlondeBlog.com
