A Boredom Shoot



There wasn't really anything to this shoot other than the fact that I was bored and found myself listening to The Cure again. As you can tell from my work and later posts I am obsessed with the 80s. I decided to shoot as if I was looking into a scene of the youth in the 80s. As it was an industrial time I picked to shoot outside the Brick Yard in Whittlesey.

Cheesy Shoot That Fell To Bits



I had a great model and a good idea but I honestly feel my dedication to this brief lacked and my final images showed this. I did however love the destruction of the cheese under the studio lights and the way it contrasts with the red back ground. However I feel some shots look as if they are suited for a McDonalds porno.

The bottom half of the dress is clearly better as the cheese slices are overlapping each other. All I have to do now is write about how I have failed. I wish it could of gone so much better...

Camera Phone Brief


So I'm coming to the end of my camera phone brief, by this time next week I should be all done and dusted. 
Today I decided to shoot myself as Morrissey from The Smiths to link into my 80s Icon theme. 
I'm so Happy with this particular shot as I have made full use of the props. The image was taken on an iPhone 3gs with a self timer app.

Beauty Images

 Unedited 
Edited 

I will finish editing when I'm back at college on monday, however this is what I have got so far.

Final Beauty Shoot

Yesterday was my final beauty shoot, I felt that it went rather well. The images I got from this shoot were far more improved than the pictures from the previous shoot. I was lucky to have such an open minded model so I could experiment with different body shapes, without making the model feel uncomfortable. 

What I wanted from this shoot was to make the images more effective than the last. I wanted the quote 'Beauty is only skin deep' to show throughout my work, so I had the model facing her back to me scratching at her skin as I felt it was the only way of showing that emotion through a photograph. 

I also done a few different body sculptures, using two models with their legs wrapped around each other again. I felt this went particularly well, however it took me and the models ages to figure out how to replicate it from the last shoot.
