Is Katie Q a Model or the next movie star? Katie Q showcases how a model can be versatile and shine as a solo model with the perfect production elements.

Contagion Media, based in Arizona, U.S.A., is on a mission to make art and creativity more important in the world. Recently, their creative team embarked on a mission to highlight the talents of EJ Manon, Katie Q, KBR, and Savage Bliss, emphasizing the importance of summer fashion on a fashion editorial assignment.

This project sought to capture the essence of summer by featuring  fashion designs by SewHI Bikinis and  jewelry designs by Savage Bliss, both which embody the season's spirit. Katie Q’s talent played a pivotal role in shaping a photoshoot inspired by our favorites moments of the summer season. This aesthetic came to life as Katie's movements and poses defined the look of fitness and grace. The stunning pieces of jewelry and swimwear she wore showcased her exceptional ability to pose and act, resulting in a final product that exudes cinematic elegance.

While bikinis are a staple of summer fashion, this project aimed to go beyond that. With Katie’s skillful posing and photography by EJ Manon, the shoot captured various angles that highlighted the elegance of 3 summer outfits. Despite being a last-minute collaboration, the team effectively utilized the available locations, clothing, and jewelry to illustrate the fusion of fashion, elegance, and cinematic style.
