After shooting some more landscapes which have a more tropical feel, I attempted to fit my images together to see if they work together coherently. Below are my first attempts. The first image I am really happy with; I think they work together really well and bring together my vision of combining my minimalism with patterns. I experimented with my newest landscapes, but...
Today I got to experiment with using the backdrop I printed using a second year Textile students design. For this shoot I cast a model which I hadn't worked with before, I chose her as she matched my aesthetic; she has an edgier look than my previous blonde model which works better. I really like the way my work is developing at the...
Today I shot my third set of still life images. I used the background I used previously as it worked really well and I was really happy with those images. This first image is my best outcome from the shoot. The composition works really well. I think including a model in my still life really brings the product to life and I prefer...
In my crit with Sophie this week I showed my still life images where I was experimenting with the addition of a tropical element into my images, and my upcoming collaboration with a textiles student. She gave me the names of a couple designers who I should have a look at. One being Rhianna Ellington, who's designs have been featured on clothing for...
When Ellen saw my images yesterday, in particular this landscape below, She thought of House of Hackney, a British interior and fashion and lifestyle brand reworking traditional for a new generation. There is such a strong juxtaposition between my incredibly minimal images and the busy, highly patterned shots of their campaigns, that they become similar. Even though the patterns are busy, the composition...
Yesterday in my 1 to 1 with Ellen she suggested I looked at the work on Matthew stone, a London born photographer, painter, sculpts and performing artist who is most recognisable for his countless iD covers and content, including his most recognisable below. I hadn't heard of him previously but am familiar with some of the covers he has shot. Ellen suggested me...
Yesterday I was in the studio shooting my second set of still life images. After my first successful shot of the bag with the blue and red background, I wanted to pursue a stronger aesthetic, away from a totally pastel washed image. I chose to photograph against a plain background as well as experimenting with something a little different. I am really happy...
I found Tyrone Lebon's work whilst researching towards my 300 word task on what still life means to me. Lebon has most recently shot the Calvin Klein campaign, which his the main body of work I recognised, but the way he composes his still lives, with a model, especially in these shots for Céline, is something I am looking into including in my...
After Ellen Rodger's lecture on Friday and seeing all the different mediums from which she draws inspiration; from video games to films, I made an effort to expand the pool from which I find inspiration. Films was my obvious genre, and Wes Anderson's films in particular are so considered, you could pause the film at any time and it appears as each individual...
