Desert Darling Stylist and Staging

The "Stylist + Staging -- Desert Darling" project was an exquisite editorial photoshoot crafted for Matchbook Magazine’s September 2013 issue, showcasing a captivating southwestern, “desert chic” theme. Set against the stunning backdrop of the DeGrazia Gallery in Tucson, Arizona, this project brought together a talented creative team, including the visionary Creative Director Sydney Ballesteros, acclaimed photographer Stacia Lugo, makeup artist Tangie Duffey, and prop stylist Elizabeth Przygoda-Montgomery. In this project, Elizabeth Przygoda-Montgomery played a pivotal role, collaborating closely with Sydney Ballesteros to curate an unforgettable visual narrative. The design choices were meticulously crafted to evoke the essence of the southwestern landscape, harmoniously blending rustic charm with modern elegance. Key to the set design was the inclusion of thoughtfully selected furnishings, such as the mid-century modern-inspired Acapulco Patio Chair, sourced from BOXHILL. This piece not only complemented the aesthetic but also added a touch of sophistication and comfort, allowing the space to radiate a welcoming ambiance. The craftsmanship evident throughout the project was a testament to the team’s dedication to quality and detail. Each element was chosen with care, ensuring that the colors, textures, and materials resonated with the overarching theme, while also standing out individually. The outcome of this collaboration was a series of stunning images that captured the unique interplay of light and shadow characteristic of the desert landscape, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of southwestern design.
