The Shoot

My shoot went well, The weather was not that great but still managed to get some shots that I am really happy with. My model was absolutely freezing so considering the weather conditions, I am pretty happy with the outcome of the shoot. Here is one of the images I have edited.

I retouched this image, the model had a strand of hair over her mouth which really bugged me!

I tried my best to make it look as normal as before, this is the edited picture before I removed the strand of hair...

This does look more natural, but the hair is a bit frustrating. I am going to edit another photograph, one that is more 'chloe' like

Test Shots And Preperation For Shoot

I have picked an outfit for my model/models.

I have decided to shoot this project with a metz small flash. As I am going to a wood location it is easier to carry compared to the studio equiptment, I have organised some friends to come along and help with the shoot also.

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....
