Fashion Project

For this project at university we got a brief and had to choose from a list of brands, designers and products to advertise. We could create a new campaign for this product. I chose to advertise the brand chloe. I have been researching the campaigns they have done, and found this one interesting -

Photographer - Mikael Jansson

I am thinking about doing the spring/summer campaign for chloe.

I have researched and looked at the lookbooks that are available.

I found this images which show the type of colours and style chloe will be using for their

spring/summer collection. These images were inspired by the chloe lookbook, images courtesy of chloe.

Random Shoots...

Model - Katherine Farndale <3

This picture was took outside our student accomadation, next to the Medway river.

I used photoshop to create the dark vignetting around the image.

This was taken in Rochester, down the highstreet.

I like the colours of the leafs on the ground, its seems to make the image almost warmer, incontrast to the dark colours of the subjects clothes

This was a snap-shot image of my friend as she was waiting to cross the road.

I like the rain drop detail on the umbrella. I think I prefer shooting in black&white, I always thought that it is less distracting, I like bringing out detail in an image, ofcourse colour can help to ahcieve this also. It is just a personal preference.

Snap Shots

Model - Jody Bennett

These were captured down Rochester Highstreet, This was right at the start of university.

I had only been living in Rochester for about a month. My sister came to visit and I showed her around the town.

I just found this picture which I took in September... I want it to be sunny ish again

Self-Portrait

This is my self-portrait..

 I always thought with a self-portrait, the viewer should be able to read the photograph.. so I thought, why not make a self-portrait where you can actually read it. I chose this idea as the information you see in this image is what makes me who I am. Even though it's not visable, I still feel it's on me everywhere I go. Its information/facts about me that will not change. It's my life.

Here are some of the other images I took for my self-portrait but did not use as my final image....

 

University Work

These images were my finals for a project called 'first sight'.. It was meant to show my first thoughts of this new place. I had never lived away from home until I came to university, I wanted the images to come across almost lonely. I kept distance from the people that were in the images. I needed to show that I felt far from home. I was no longer in Brighton... I was in the 'lonely' streets of Rochester. I wanted the images to have a snapshot effect as it gives the idea of someone walking the streets feeling alone.

Larger Format Project...

For this project I had to find an interior space and photograph it on a large format camera. I had never used a large format before, I managed to work it okay...took a few trys to make sure I set up everything correctly but I got there. This is the image I chose for this project.

Moving Stills

For this project, I got paired up with a partner and had to choose a character and a genre at random. We then had 36 frames to make a film, the film had to include the character of an insomniac and genre had to be action. 

We have not yet had our workshop to edit the sequence of the images yet..I will post the video up when it is finished.



I studied Rankin in the summer and got inspired to shoot some of my own images using vibrant colours and different types of lighting..

These images went towards my A-level in Photography, I am always fascinated by colour in photographs. I also did some other work on colour for college, I made a magazine that promoted colour.

Here are some of the images which I shot when I was experimenting with colour....

I printed on acetate and put the images with flowers and brightly cloured plants.

I wanted the images to have a natural feel so i thought i would incorperate nature with my work.

Here are some other photos I took when i was experimenting for this project...

Model - Jake Murray

For some reason, I never end up taking pictures of males.. so I was determined to try it out.

As I found out, Rankin rarely shoots men either.

This was another idea I had...ended up getting very messy!

but was good fun...

I made this mixture by adding different food colouring to corn flour...

it wasn't the best idea... but I thought it ended up working quite well

This is me..
