Discover how to infuse your editorial photoshoots with bold, glam rock vibes. Perfect for creating impactful, stylish visuals that stand out.
Hey there! Let me tell you about my latest editorial photoshoot, inspired by one of the boldest, most vibrant music movements ever: glam rock. If you’re unfamiliar with glam rock, think of it as the ultimate mix of music and fashion, full of personality, theatricality, and pure fun. Icons like Freddie Mercury, Elton John, and even Madonna have all embodied the glam rock aesthetic at some point. It’s about breaking boundaries and owning every glittery, colorful moment.
For my shoot, I dove headfirst into glam rock fashion. Here are some must-haves to inspire your wardrobe or photoshoot:
Bright Colors: Think neon pinks, electric blues, and metallic golds—anything that screams bold and unapologetic.
Glitter: From sparkling makeup to sequined outfits, glitter is a glam rock essential.
Disco Balls: Add one as a prop, or channel its sparkle into your wardrobe or set design.
Platform Shoes or Eclectic Footwear: The higher and more outrageous, the better.
Feather Boas: Whether draped over your shoulders or as part of the set, they’re a glam rock staple.
Statement Accessories: Oversized sunglasses, chunky jewelry, or metallic belts take your look to the next level.
Velvet and Leather: These textures add that retro-meets-rock-star vibe.
This style is all about going big—big colors, big accessories, and big confidence. As I styled my shoot, I kept imagining what it would be like stepping onto a stage as Freddie Mercury or Elton John, owning the spotlight.
If you’re planning your own glam rock photoshoot or simply want to infuse your wardrobe with some rock star energy, don’t be afraid to embrace the sparkle, texture, and vibrant spirit of this iconic era.
Remember, when it comes to glam rock, more is always more. So grab your glitter and platform boots—it’s time to shine like the rock star you are!
