A Wide Perspective Across Stage of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Alix Earle - Photography Tony Filson

While our clients always place us front and center on the riser, it is essential to seek different perspectives during a show to capture unique views of the garments and models and sometimes involve the audience in the story. At Miami Swim Week and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit event hosted by Paraiso Miami, the audience was vibrant and expressive, prompting us to showcase the colorful evening gowns that Miami is renowned for in this particular shot. I believe it contributed to a beautiful background for the stunning SI Swimsuit Model Alix Earle

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Ellie Thumann is an exceptional talent, and she was a joy to photograph at The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 60th Edition Celebration. The runway at the W Hotel in Miami is over a large swimming pool and the wind played with Ellie's hair making for some great photographs. Ellie was wearing bright red bikini that just happened to match the Sports Illustrated logo and it complimented the shots I had to produce with the distinctive SI logo. Enjoy these wonderful shots of Ellie.

During Miami Swim Week's 60th Anniversary Edition Celebration at The W Hotel, Fashion Photographer Tony Filson captured Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Ellie Thumann in a stunning red bikini. The photo shoot was a major success, resulting in over 400 photographs scheduled for publication in the Fall.
