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!
