“Dirty Shirley” is a new editorial story that was shot in Joshua Tree, California by San Diego based fashion photographer Wendy W. Smith. Wendy specializes in natural light and vibrant color and uses this combination to create unique and eye catching images. She began as a landscape and wildlife photographer 5 years ago and she uses this background to help make every shoot that she works on both unique and visually appealing. She moved into the world of fashion photography 2 years ago and has never looked back.
She is mainly inspired by nature and the brilliant colors created by our amazing planet. She was raised both in the mountains of the Eastern Sierras and on the beaches of San Diego so she has an innate love for being outside and exploring all of nature’s wonders! Sunset is one of her favorite times of day and she draws inspiration from the vibrant colors that can light up the sky and the way the light can play with any landscape or urban scene. She uses these inspirations in combination with her deep love of fashion and fashion photography in order to create her images. She is mainly inspired by 60’s and 70’s bohemian fashion, mixed with both current and classic styles.
