Face Forward

These images were created or my Fashion movement shoot. After a very serious term i wanted to have a bit of fun and this was sooooo much fun! basically i purchased skirting boards from bunnings, painted them white and instead of placing the skirting boards lengthways on the bottom of the wall where the wall meets the floor i placed one of the boards vertically up the wall and the one one flat on the floor. I simply got the model to jump in different ways to appear that she is falling so i then can rotate the image the correct way. Turn your head on it's side, and you will understand what i mean :P

Again the make up was done by Emily Walsh which was amazing! and the modelling by Andrea :)

Gucci

Familiar picture? Thats because i added this picture a few weeks back as a Christian Dior ad. This shot of Misha was originally my cosmetic photo. But i changed it to fit both the cosmetic and the perfume brief. I think this works better as a perfume add. I love it as much as i love the photo of Andrea.

The bottle i also shot for the brief. I shot it on 2 pieces of white perspex. A backing and a floor for the shot. I blasted the back with a light behind the perspex just a snoot. Then i used a soft box on the front to soften the bottle evenly. I love the bottle shot also!

Mac me over

This shot took me quite a while believe it or not to finalise into an add. It didn't have to have text it just needed to be a cosmetic shot. I changed my original shot of Misha as my cosmetic shot to a photo i took of Andrea. I love the makeup done by Emily Walsh. The eyes are amazing. I love the crop and though adding a little text and a cosmetic logo 'MAC' would make the image complete. I love it.

Sin City

After a very busy week of photo shoots, reports and presentations on Wednesday i did my sin city shoot. It was a stressful day i'm not going to lie none the less my shoot came out quite differently than i expected but positively it came out quite nice. The shoot consisted of set building, drama and dramatic lighting. Modelling for me was the beautiful Maddie Doyle and to enhance that beauty the make up was done by Demi Gourdouvelis.

The lighting consisted of three flash packs. A beauty dish on the side of the model, a honeycomb to enhance the clothing a bit and a honeycomb on the back wall to create a key light. Cutters were used to stop the beauty dish lighting from bleeding into the background causing too much brightness.

All in all it was a great experience, was fun and very experimental. Things are coming along nicely.

Fashion Editorial Cont...

this is another picture i been working on, i didn't like the other shoot i did with this coat, nor did i like the photo's i took. I think i got a bit lazy, none the less this was probably the only photo that i was struck by, it actually came up quite nice, i wanted a close up and wish i had taken some more, but i'm quite happy with the result of this one.

Fashion Editorial

This is my first editorial fashion shoot i have done for both myself and assessment. It had to be taken either at college or on location indoors. This was taken at Alex's house using our smoke machine to add texture to the background. The elegant black dress is by Erin Boubli and the larger frilly black garment is by Brad Mclennan; make up by Melissa Lek and modelled by the gorgeous Andrea Santoso. This is my first of two fashion shoots i have to complete. My other shoot is scheduled for the next 2 weeks and will be shot at college and is a movement fashion shoot.

This shot was made using two lights. One to light up the smoke with a cardboard cut out of teardrop shapes to add light and shade and texture and the other light with a honeycomb and barndoors to light up the left side of Andrea.

I shot using a telephoto lens to flatten the image instead of adding perspective. It makes the shot look a lot more elegant and less flattering for the model. All in all i think this was a great shoot!

I Dior You

This photo was taken for my beauty assignment. This assignment is broken into two specific parts. One of which is a product shot of a perfume bottle followed by a matching picture of a model to go with the product (i have yet to complete this part of the assessment) and the third shot is a beauty shot of a model advertising a potential cosmetic. In this case Christian Dior.

The Model was Michaela Skovranova; make up done by Melissa Lek and photographed by me :)

I think this shot worked well, i think its elegant, it has an 80's feel with a 40's look. It works quite well and i feel i have done a good job executing this part of the assignment.
