Creative Focus: Claire Crowe
I first heard of Claire years ago when a stylist wanted me to throw a couple of fireplace screens in my car and drive them up to Oklahoma City for a shoot. That sent me down to pick up the screens at Claire's studio in the design district and I was blown away by her talent, operation and her personality. We discussed shooting something together for a long time but finally made it happen in 2023. Claire's studio has a couple of faux fireplace setups to display her screens, and the challenge was to make it look like it wasn't in her office environment. A little light trickery from me and a lot of help from stylist Heidi Adams created a couple of vignettes that sold the right vibe. I'm really happy with how this all turned out, and working with people you enjoy is always a plus!
