Photographs from my MPP project.

These are the photographs from my MPP project that I did last term. I used two different photographers for this project because I wanted to see the difference between the two photographers. I used Lotte Simons who I worked with previously on The Pony Shoot and Luke Matthews who I worked with on the Autumn Celladoor Shoot earlier this year. If you want to see more information behind the ideas and concept for the shoot please visit my MPP blog for the diary over the past few months.

Behind the Scenes at The Studio Shoot

Yesterday I went to Wokingham to do a photo-shoot with Cyan Cheung (who I previously worked with in the Pony Shoot) and Glenn Richardson, a self taught upcoming photographer.
We used Gareth Davies Studios which is the biggest studio I have ever worked in. As well as having an editing suite they also had a make-up suite.
The equipment in this place was amazing what with the huge lights and large fans.
The clothing I used for this shoot was mainly sourced from my friend and designer Scottacus Anthony. I wanted to go for a darker, edgier look which I think worked really well with Cyan's look.
The day was great and was really nice to finally be back doing shoots again after such a long time!
Here are the behind the scenes photo's. Really can't wait to see the final images of these as a lot of different technical processes were used!

Behind the Scenes and Photographs from Steph Dale

This term I have also worked with Stephanie Dale who is a FDA commerical photography student. Her narrative was based on doll's and she wanted to represent this in a studio shoot.

She had already sourced the main outfits from a designer so just needed to add pieces which would make the outfits look the part of a doll. To soften up the brightness of the red and blue I used lace and softer materials. I also used a petticoat skirt from American Apparel which gave the skirt a completely different and fuller look to it. Here are the behind the scenes photographs and the final photographs.

Photographs from Min

This term I have also worked with Min, a 2nd year FDA commerical photography student. His narrative was that a kidnapped girl wakes up dressed as a human doll.

Although I couldn't be there on the shoot, I did help Min out by choosing the clothes. I went for a black and white theme to link the different outfits together. Here are my favourite images from his selection.

Welcome to 3rd Year! Behind the Scenes Video

Like what always happens when I go back to uni...I become very quiet on my blog. This is because all of my spare time is taken up doing my sketchbook and actual project if I'm not trying to get some sleep. My first project for 3rd year (Major Project Preparation) is no exception to this. But finally I have handed it in and had my presentation, which I think went ok despite the sleepy look on my tutors face, which gives me time to update you all on what I've been doing.

Well like I said, it has mainly been doing my MPP project but I have done some smaller photo-shoots alongside which I will share later!

I can't really give to much out about what I did for my MPP due to my photographs being submitted, but I can show you the video that Alex Gardiner shot for me of the behind the scenes from the shoot.
It was in Stanmer Woods (yes my favourite place) with photographers Lotte Simons and Luke Matthews, make-up artist Lyida Pankhurst and models Lottie Williams, Dan Jones and Lucas st James.
I hope you like it!

Published in Lumine Magazine!

Just found out that the photo-shoot I did with Lotte back in August has also been published last week! Apparently the model had uploaded the photo's to facebook and someone saw and said they were too good to sit on facebook and asked if would we want them published!!! It goes to show that its defiantly who you know in this business!
