MOVIE

CABARET 

for my movie inspired piece, in groups we looked into the seductive catergory and came acrooss the film 'Cabaret'. We liked the cover image to this film as it showed Liza Minnelli at her best angle with her leg propped up on a chair. We re-created this image using a corset and bowler hat. We played around with props and positioning and finalized on this image. I like how flattering corsets can be in pulling in at the waist. The image worked best in black and white as the mix matched colours of the corset and the background were non-contrasting.

FASHION STILL LIFE

FASHION STILL LIFE

for my fashion still life image I chose to focus on accessories instead of  your standard shoe still life. My theme to this image is a mix of gypsy and vintage with the outrageous flower and feathered jewellery. I played around with the angle of the bowler and jewellery, however in the end this is my favourite picture. I love the different tones as they contrast well with the background. 

GANGURO

GANGURO

      In photography we loved playing around with make-up and styling. For this piece I found a style from japan, ganguro's. This style revolves around outrageous and over the top make up. I love the 'cheeky' element to this image and the crazy styling of it. I kept the image simple by using a white background as the model herself was bright in make up. 

PORTRAIT

PORTRAIT[not myself]

for my portrait shot I chose to not use myself as im not photogenic, and so I have used another model obviously. I chose to have tis piece in black and white as it compliments her skin tone. As this piece focuses on a the person them self I kept her make-up subtle and her hair natural to one side. I love the angle of her face against the light as it shades her face in the right areas being her chin, giving her a strong jaw line.

FASHION B&W

FASHION BLACK&WHITE PORTRAIT

                                                   

For my fashion black and white piece I chose to keep in with t

heme of masculine and raw by styling my model in 'punk rock'. 

The studded colar adds detail and gives my image a 'tough' element. 

Having the image in black and white works well with my model 

as she has pale skin and so it highlights her dark hair. When researching ideas for this topic I looked into 'The Rolling Stones' magazine covers and loved how rock influenced 

there images were. I think I have achieved my own interpretation 

of a rock 'n' roll shot.

FASHION PORTRAIT COLOUR

HOMAGE [Fashion Portrait]

Guy Bourdin is one of the most influential and well-known photographers of time. His work looks at colour and sex. From looking through some of his work I noticed he likes to focus on women's legs and  showing them in there best form. I came across an image in one of his books which featured a woman's face covered with layered fingers. I love how effective this image is when you first come across it. The symbolisim of being blind is extremely clever.

I chose to re-create this image for my Fashion portrait element. For this piece we worked in small groups. We used the colour theme of red and incorporated this by using a model with red hair, red finger nails and a red uniform blazer. I love how this image turned out, as we found it difficult to position the hands. I like the contrast of red with our models skin tone as well.

COVER SHOT

               COVER shots consist of a three quater length body shot, and show great focus on the styling and blemish-free model. My cover shot here is an Homage to all covers from Company Magazine to Vogue. I chose to look focus on a natural shot by using my models daily wear and make-up. I have highlighted her features using the burn tool on photoshop to darken her eyebrows, cheekbones and eye colour. I love the intense yet naive look this image portrays and I believe this image could pass for a Vogue cover shit. Not to sound too vein or anything.
