NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 2017 /CNW/ -- Wix.com Ltd. is
delighted to have made it possible for photographer and contest
winner Reiko Wakai, to embark on her dream gravity-defying
mission photo shoot.
The Wix Capture Your Dream Photo Campaign featured a contest for
photographers with a Wix website to submit their portfolio and
describe their dream photoshoot. Wix users responded
enthusiastically with the contest receiving submissions from 134
countries and in 15 languages. The winner, Japanese independent
fashion photographer and Wix user, Reiko
Wakai, won the chance to realize her vision.
Reiko's aspiration was a fashion shoot in a zero-gravity
environment with the fashion muse of her choice, top international
model Stav Strashko. Fashion stylist
Mimi Fisher, and hair and makeup
artist Ronnie Peterson, were on hand
to create a gravity-defying look that captured the futuristic tone
of the shoot.
"Wix made the impossible possible. As a commercial photographer,
your objective is to accomplish someone else's vision and goal, but
Wix provided an entire team to help me capture my dream photo,"
said winner Reiko Wakai. "I take
elements of what I love into each shoot, and this one captured what
I saw to be a really fun experience in zero gravity. It was a
chance to both challenge myself, a well-known model in Japan, and an element that was not within our
control: zero gravity."
Stav Strashko, model and rising
fashion star said, "When I was asked to participate, I was so happy
and honored that Reiko had chosen me to be part of her dream. It
was humbling: my job is to look beautiful for the camera, and in
this situation I also had to be graceful in zero-gravity - an
element I was completely unfamiliar with and it was a challenge.
Leading up to and on the day of the shoot was surreal. We became
one big family working together to accomplish one crazy beautiful
dream."
