Fourth Portrait Shoot

23:23

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 moment but I can conscious about bringing everything together and being able to achieve 12 final images in the given time. Especially with my moving image still in the ideas stage.

I really like the shirt in both the images above and below. It matches the pattern really well and pulls the image together. I can really see my reference images, from House of Hackney, shine through from the styling and use of pattern and colour.

I also experimented with a plain background. I had the tropical leaves in the styling and didn't necessarily need them in the background also, I really like the outcome of this experiment as it maintains a minimalistic feel through my images.
