Victor Banta Photography: Behind the Scene of the Retro-a-go-go! Fashion Photoshoot

We have been asked how the amazing photoshoot for Retro-a-go-go! came to be a reality?  It was through networking.
Good friend Bruce Rogers, recommended Victor Banta Photography to Doug and Kirsten Pagacz of Retro-a-go-go! Doug and Kirsten reviewed our photography and fell in love with our style, beauty, and quality of our photography. And we fell in love with Retro-a-go-go’s fun and unique vintage and retro products. As you can see from the images captured, our combined creativity and talent resulted in a beautiful photoshoot that catches attention and attracts customers to their products!

Photographer Victor Banta’s photo shoot with the Retro-a-go-go! team was a fun and exciting photoshoot for everyone involved! Working with a great team is key to creating amazing images that sell products. The photoshoot team consisted of our client, Retro-a-go-go! owner’s Doug and Kirsten Pagacz contributing as Art Directors and they were invaluable as they jumped in assisting with wardrobe. Stephanie Strowbridge did an excellent job as makeup and hair artist (MUA), as well as Retro’s own Michaela, assisting with wardrobe, as well as modeling. There were three gorgeous female models and one male model during this exhilarating 10 hour fashion photo shoot, all taking place at Victor Banta’s Photography studio in Hell, Michigan.

Retro-a-go-go! is a retailer of retro and vintage inspired women’s fashion accessories, apparel, jewelry, and home décor. They offer fashion accessories such as make-up cases and compacts, purses, jewelry, parasols, and original artwork by Doug Pagacz. They also hold licensing with General Motors and Ford Motor Company.

Working with a creative team on photo shoots creating beautiful artistic fashion photographs is both exhilarating and very rewarding. Sharing my art with the world is a joy and feeds my soul.
