Ophelia Fashion Photoshoot.

This Next Project Was About Focusing On The Combination And Alliance Of Flowers And Women. This Is What I Decided To Do For Exam Theme For My Photography 'A Level.' I Really Wanted To Capture This Theme In Fashion Photography. The Combination Is Common In Most Pieces Of Art Showing Women. When Looking At Historical Images Of Women And Flowers, I Came Across The Old Shakespeare Story Of Ophelia, The Woman Surrounded By Flowers Drowning To Death. I Decided To Create My Own Fashion Photography Approach To This Story. I Wanted To Show More Of The Beauty Rather Than The Tragedy Of This Story. I Decided To Shoot These Images In A Bath Tub. I Experimented With Three Different Models To Capture Different Looks. This Was One Of My Favourite Photohoots That I Have Done. I Really Liked How It Was A Modern Approach To The Ophelia Story And I Believe This Was A Really Successful Idea.

Japanese Geisha Advertising.

My Next Pieces Of Work Was About Looking At The Combination Of Japanese Culture With Fashion. This Was My Graphics Project So I Focused On Fashion Promotion And The Advertisement Of Japanese Fashion But In A Modern Contemporary Style. I Decided To Look At 'Geisha Style' And How This Could Be Shown In The Style Pieces Of My Chosen Designer. These First Images Were My First Digital Experiments With My Photography Of My Two Geisha Girls. In These Quick Experiments, I Focused On Colour And Japanese Floral Patterns Over My Images. These Quick Experiments Made Me More Aware That I Wanted To Combine Manual And Digital Techniques Together In My Next Pieces Of Work That I Would Create For My Advertisements.

I Worked Manually In The Darkroom With My Images As I Have Really Enjoyed The Darkroom Technique In The Past And Developing My Own Images. I Wanted To Create Exciting Images By Splashing The Developer Onto My Images And Spraying It So That It Revealed The Images In An Expressive Way. Once I Had Experimented Digitally, I Then Scanned These Pieces Of Work But Also Combining This With Digital Manipulations On Photoshop. I Feel That These Next Pieces Of Work Were Really Sucsessful As I Really Like The Illustrative Effect.

My Project Focused On The Advertisement Of The Collaboration Of A Designer And A High Street Brand. I Decided To Look At The Collaboration Of Versace And H&M. I Looked At Creating Advertisement Pieces Such As Posters, A Gift Bag, Flyers And A Canvas Bag. I Really Enjoyed This Project Because I Was Able To Be More Creative With My Ideas Of Promotional Graphics.

Multimedia Music Video.

My Next Project Was About Exploring Moving Film And Experimenting With Video With Photography. I Decided That I Wanted To Stick With The Fashion Photography Theme, But Link It To Tableau Photography And Linking The Work To A Story. This Was Set Around A Bride Being Left At The Church And The Sadness And Devastation That She Feels. The Story Unveils As The Video Plays. It Is Backwards So That The Ending Is The Start Of The Video So That The Story Meaning Evolves. The Video Is A Music Video To The Song 'Scared Of Lonely' By Beyonce. The Lyrics Really Played An Important Role In The Video. I Used Moving Film In This Video, Reversing Some Parts Of The Clips So The Model Created Interesting Movement. I Used Two Settings For This Music Video. I Used The Beach, Which I Titled 'The Honeymoon.' I Shot The Church Scenes At A Derelict Church In Tunstall, To Link To The Emotion Of The Bride In The Video.

                                                                                                                                               

Natural Beauty Photoshoot.

In This Next Photoshoot, I Really Wanted To Keep It Quite Simple And Capture The Natural Beauty Of The Model And Flowers. These Two Things Really Link Well Together, And Are Constantly Shown In Art And Photography. I Shot These Images At A Beautiful Gardens Called 'East Ruston Old Vicarage Gardens.' I Took These In The Summer So That I Would Have Better Flowers To Capture Because Of The Season. I Really Wanted To Experiment With Black And White Shots, As Well As Some Sepia Tones To Show A Difference In My Work.

Perfume Advertising Photoshoot.

These Next Images Are From My Favourite Photoshoot That I Have Shot So Far. This Is Because I Feel That These Images Have Been My Most Experimental Pieces Of Work. I Really Used The Backdrop Of The Sky As My Advantage By Shooting On Location. These Images Were Inspired By Dior Perfume Adverts Of 'Miss Dior Cherie' And The Colour Theme Of Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer Collection. These Images Were Then Used For My Graphics Cosmetic Advertising Project. I Think Colour And The Theme Of A Young, Girly Fragrance Was Extremely Successful In These Shots. I Currently Work As A Fragrance Sales Assistant  In House Of Fraser As A Saturday Job Where I Have Gained Lots Of Knowledge On Advertising.

      Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012               

                                                                    

In These Images, I Have Used Two Completely Different Models. Both Models Looks Are Completely Different, One Being Extremely Fair And Blonde And The Other Model Having Dark Hair And Olive Toned Skin. Grace Amodio Has Been My Model For Many Other Shoots, But Normally For Darker Edgier Shoots So It Shows A Contrast In Her Looks And The Success Of Her Direction In Different Themed Shoots. I Think That This Was Important Because It Shows How Two Looks Of The Models Can Work Successfully Together In The Same Photoshoot.

Graffiti Photoshoot.

I Then Did Another Photoshoot But Decided That I Wanted To Do A Graffiti Photoshoot And Have The Clothing And Makeup Really Bright And Colourful. I Also Wanted The Photos To Consist Of Colour, Patterns And Shapes. I Took These On A Graffiti Brick Wall And I Think The Setting Works Really Well In These Images. Grace Amodio Was The Model, I Think Her Look Really Suited The Theme Of The Shoot. I Am Really Happy With The Images And Like The Way That Colour Plays An Important Role In These Images. I Hope You Like These Images.
