Fashion collaboration with Alex.

Alex messaged Chloe and me about collaborating on a fashion project, and we instantly said yes to her because we had worked with her previously and we got along really well - her shoot idea was also something really different and therefore interested us. This is the moodboard she sent originally:


For this shoot, I found a MUA on Facebook who came to the studio and did the makeup on a TFP basis as she studies at university too and needs some images of her own. This shoot was a lot diffeent to anything that I have done before but I had so much fun doing it. The model that we worked with was Sophie Patrice who we have worked with before and so we knew we would easily get along with her and the day would run really smoothly.

Here are some of the finished images:


Below is one of my favourite images from this shoot:


I love this image because of a few reasons;
I think the way I have edited the model's skin looks really nice, and I have edited it so that it looks smooth but not too much as to make it look fake.
The close up of the portrait - it is really close and personal with the model, can see all of the details of the image.
The styling is really beautiful, I love all of the colours that have been used and I think the pink background works brilliantly to complement the outfit.

Conventions of portraiture.

Image
When taking a portrait of someone, there are always things to consider to ensure that a successful image is achieved. This is broken down into 4 sub sections as outlined by David Bate: Face, pose, location and clothing. I am going to briefly explain what each of these points mean and give examples of photographers to demonstrate the points further. FACE The first convention I am going to look into is face, and why this is essential when taking a portrait of any kind. It is obvious that when taking a portrait of someone, their face usually needs to be seen because this lets the audience know who the photograph is of. It also allows the audience more insight into the meaning of the photograph if there is a meaning to be seen because the subject's expression can be captured which wouldn't be achieved if the face was out of view or obstructed in some way. "The expression on a face in portraiture is crucial and can exert a considerable impact on how a portrait signifie...

Ideas for final exhibition.

For my final exhibition, I want to be as creative as possible within the ways I display my work - I want to my images to be different sizes, at different heights, at different depths and possibly even a variety of different paper types. This is all to be confirmed at a bit of a later date as I test out different ideas and paper types to see which ones work and with which others. I already know that semi gloss prints that I have had printed at the print bureau at university has worked really well because of how they have a slight shine, but not too much. I have already ordered to be printed onto a metallic paper type from www.theprintspace.co.uk/ , but am also interested in what it would be like to have some images printed onto acetate - this is a clear paper alternative which would be very effective for my project and would add depth to my work. As my project title is "Translucency", which means allowing light to pass through but not being clearly visible, this paper type w...

Portfolio Review - Keeley Stone.

Image
I had the opportunity to have my project reviewed by Keeley also today, who I must say was so welcoming to everyone and really listened to what we had to say. She had a genuine interest in my project and asked me questions, gave me advice and also had some suggestions of her own for what I could do for my final exhibition: Would look good as a collage - Colours/shapes/Photoshop collage --> Kodak paper? She described it as 'not perfect' and added that it had quirkiness to it. It doesn't need unity. Add more contrast/saturation to the images. Great concept. Collage would give it more interest, and would make it stronger. Could print out all images on one piece of paper - have it sliding down the wall. Hang it? Don't have it regimented. Love the overlaying idea. All images reference one another. Use small images to give idea of what it looks like. I took in one image from each shoot which I was happy with and was more refined - most of them were from more...
