DREAMLAND DINER RETRO WINNIPEG PHOTOSHOOT
If you haven't heard, Winnipeg's Newest Eating Hotspot is the Dreamland Diner located at 2615 Portage Ave. It's a 1950s Style Diner theme - and it's gorgeous inside. I had the extreme pleasure of being the first photographer to have exclusive access to this fabulous restaurant and this is all about the Dreamland Diner Retro Winnipeg photoshoot.
I edited most of images in a normal manner but did do a special "Vintage Edit" of a few select images as shown above.
This entire shoot was made possible thanks to the generosity of the owners of Dreamland Diner - Ravi and Kevin.
They allowed me special access to the diner prior to their opening.
I was "blown away" by the retro styling and decor, when i attended there to pre-scout for the shoot.
I brought in Four Models for this shoot, and I couldn't have asked for a better group of creative people.
My Vintage Singer (Mercede), the Teen Rocker (Ryden), the Retro Waitress (Ravynn), and the Piano Man (Quentin).
To simplify things I kept the shoot to 3 separate locations, with the primary place being where the Neon Dreamland Diner sign was displayed.
Other locations included an area by the piano, and then a spot in the basement where there are a bunch of Marilyn Monroe Posters etc.
I had the idea to make the diner into a a place that offered live music and swing dancing.
The husband and wife team of my models got into action and we created some great action moments.
I should mention that ALL PROPS and ALL OUTFITS (except for Mercede) were provided by my studio.
I have a HUGE INVENTORY of PROPS and Vintage Clothes for any client's 50's shoot.
The Pink Piano area with neon signage is a very cool location in the diner.
However from a photography point of view, it is challenging to shoot there, due to it being in a very small area
I had to be creative in my lighting to make sure everyone looked their best in this Dreamland Diner Retro Winnipeg photoshoot.
The downstairs area, which is decorated with several Marilyn Monroe Posters - is a great place for patrons to go and check out.
Perfect for their Instagram selfies at the Dreamland Diner.
The retro waitress "Ravynn" fit her role perfectly - since she has waitressed in "real life".
She knew how to give the exact looks and expressions I needed.
