Conclusion

This project has made me think more about my approach to photography, especially fashion photography. I've have also tried new skills techniques as well as using existing skills. From having just one word as you main idea for you image can help create many ideas. It made me think more about the set up of the shot as well as the message being portrayed. I also decided to expand my fashion photography skills in this project by the doing an outdoor shoot. Doing an outdoor shoot makes you think more about the surrounding areas of the images as well as the model. I also did a studio shoot, hut again I still find myself learning new skills by doing this. I choose consciously to take my images landscape in my shoot as well as portrait to give myself more options. I opted for the landscape because I think it make the images different and a different way of working.

Planning of Presentation of Work

It's important to plan how I am going to present my work. I want to present all my images together in frame as a form of grid. I have also edited my images in black and white and colour so there are options there is how the present the images with the two different styles of editing. Below are some pictures of different ideas of how to present my work. I tried experimenting with the frame landscape and portrait and also the positions of the images. I also plan to have the background black on the final outcomes as I think it will make the images stand out more rather than a white background.





Ellis Parrinder

I've looked at the work of Ellis Parrinder who is a commercial/fashion photographer who mainly basis most of his work in studios. His work is often used in adverting, CD covers and in magazines. For my second shoot I kept the landscape of my images and also used the rule of thirds. Parrinder has also done this in these images below. He has kept the model to one side of the frame creating more impact on the image. You eyes are drawn to the model first because of the rule of thirds, this is also emphasized by the negative space, this is also shown in my work.
