New Year's Eve

Sequins, sparklers and champagne — the one night everyone dresses for the camera.

New Year's Eve is the most sequinned night of the year, and the shoot leans all the way in: a fully-sequinned mini or a metallic slip, sparklers, champagne, and a clock somewhere in frame. Gold, silver and black are the palette — anything that throws light back at the city behind it.

Rooftops with a skyline, string-lit interiors, and the stroke-of-midnight sparkler are the three hero frames. Groups own this shoot — a line of friends in coordinated metallics with sparklers is the photo that ends up as everyone's January profile picture. Shoot the sparklers on a slow shutter and keep a fire-safe bucket close.
