The aim for this shoot is to show street fashion. I have
decided to do this shoot on location as it will emphasize the aim of the shoot
and make more of an impact. I plan to get a range of different shots showing
various poses and in various locations.
This image on the top relates to my shoot as it the sort of
fashion I am going to be showing, casual and slightly vintage. The image on the
bottom is from Brick Lane, I have included this as it is the kind of setting I want
to use, as the graffiti and rough look goes well with the styles.
To prepare
I need to;
- Chose a few locations to focus on in Brick Lane during my shoot.
- Get models.
- Plan their outfits and hair and makeup.
- Look at existing images for inspiration with poses relating to the idea of street fashion.
What I hope
to achieve;
I hope to achieve a range of images clearly representing the
idea of street fashion and incorporating the style and look of Brick Lane into
them.
What I
actually achieved;
I am really happy with how this shoot turned out, as it shows
the theme of street fashion and uses and goes well with the location I chose.
This shoot relied a lot on the weather due to lighting and rain, and that
worked out well due to the sun, giving me good lighting for my images in
comparison to a cloudy day. I got a wide range of shots, with both the models
and them on their own. The locations I used worked well with the poses. When
editing, I decided to do a variety of both black and white and coloured – some highly
saturated – images. This is because some the images suited those best, adding
to the impact and the overall look.
I really like this image, due to the lighting reflection off
the car. This could have turned out bad, but instead I think it adds to the
picture and gives it an edgier look. The
composition and poses that the models are in I think is what makes the picture,
as them being centred, not looking at the camera and their pose – particularly Heidi’s
– makes them look powerful and in control. When editing this, I desaturated it
slightly and turned the brightness down and the contrast up to dull down the brightness
so it was not so harsh, but so that it still was evident and made an impact.
This is another image I really like. I like casual it looks,
but still shows the same confidence and power as in the previous image. The
angle of this gives it the casual effect, whereas if the camera was looking
down on Heidi, it would make her appear more weak and vulnerable for example.
When editing, I increased the saturation a bit to make all the bright colours
and the summery feel of the image stand out more.
What I am
going to do next;
I
am really happy with how this shoot turned out, and due to the fact I am happy
with the outcome, I am going to leave this shoot as it is. Although I am
leaving this particular shoot idea, I do want to look at street fashion again
both in the studio to compare the effect of location with studio, and I want to
look at the idea in a broader way.
