For three days
last week, the streets of downtown Captiva - already filled with its usual
share of tourists - were joined by a team of models, photographers and a crew
from Island Girl Locations & Productions, who were in town to shoot a
fashion spread for Good
Housekeeping magazine.
According to
Stacey Stevens, a Sanibel resident and representative for Island Girl, the
production incorporated various exterior locations along Andy Rosse Lane -
including outside of Cantina Captiva, John Naumann & Associates offices and
YOLO Watersports - as well as on South Seas Island Resort property. The
locations were selected due to their bright, vibrant colors.
"This is our
second year working with Good
Housekeeping," said Stevens, who notes that in 2012, Island Girl
arranged a photo shoot for the magazine down in Naples. "We got a lot of
attention here in Captiva, since we were working right there on the street.
Everyone gets excited when they see a production taking place."
During the photo
shoot, which occurred from Monday through Wednesday, six female models were
used. The images will be seen in the July and August 2013 issues of Good Housekeeping.
"Last year,
the fashion photo spreads they did were four to eight pages," noted
Stevens.
Island Girl
Locations & Productions thanked Captiva business owner Sandra Stilwell for
donating the use of a parking space on Andy Rosse Lane for their production
trailer.
"There was a
20-person crew out here for several days. They ate all their meals out here,
shopped out here, rented bikes and stayed out here through the entire photo
shoot," Stevens added. "All of those people are contributing to the
local economy, which is great for the islands."
