For my CV I decided to use a very simple layout and a bold black font. It includes all of my relevant information and past jobs and collaborations

I used Photoshop to place my Instagram account screenshots onto a mobile template. I created a minimal and clean Instagram with my relevant contact information and links to my website. I have also been promoting E G Photography by sending my work to other creative pages where they then post my work to gain a larger following. The cover-19 pandemic has made me more interested in using the internet and social media to promote my work as there will not be any physical exhibitions for a long time. I spent a lot of time curating the images I have posted and laid them out in sets of three for each shoot. I work mostly in black and white but I enjoyed breaking the account up with pops of my more colourful work between each set of black and white photography. I will also be posting ‘behind the scenes’ photographs in my upcoming photoshoots to see how I do a shoot and what I use (location, models, styling, makeup) on Instagram stories. This is a useful platform to have with keeping up to date with other creative work and taking inspiration from other accounts and displaying my own work in a creative way. I have also gained a larger following in the last few months from following other accounts in the artistic industry.

Experimenting with adding gifs to my website about page & the overall layout. I decided to use the last image for my about page. After creating a gif using my E G Photography logo, I decide that it looked better without as it needed to be really simple, minimal and easy to read. I may use this gif on my Instagram account Eleanor_green_photography where I get a larger following. I decided not to create any social media other than Instagram as I feel this is the best platform to use for creative promotion and I am most familiar with it. There are links on both my website and Instagram account to go straight to each other.

For my Gallery page on my website I curated the best of my work from university over the past 3 years. I wanted the display to be clean and minimal with the focus being on the images in their sets of three. You can hover over the image to see the captions and to enlarge the images. Below are some examples of how I have designed the layout. I have also uploaded my gifs to the website as moving images which I think works really well and adds another element to the site. Much of my work from my FMP project is black and white photography, I have tried to break up the layout by adding my coloured image between the black and white which I think works really well.

I have curated the best of my photography throughout university as well as side projects and commissioned projects. I my aesthetic now is very different to when I began my journey at university which is why I have not submitted any of these images in my final portfolio. I have been through all of my photography and styling projects to select my best work to display in a layout for final submission. This was an enjoyable project to look back through my past work and decide what I would choose to show to potential employers. Much of my work now follows more of a black and white photography theme with a darker aesthetic so this work juxtaposes that style. I decided to do a very minimal layout when submitting these images as I feel they are bold and the focus should be mainly on the image.

These are a few of the pages from my portfolio research project. I started building my brand from my ‘identity’ and photography and styling presence. Once I had chosen my brand aesthetic I was able to create the rest of my ‘business’ following a minimal and simple design process, this is documented in the images below and the majority of my work will be on my website e.g.-photography.co.uk or my Instagram account Eleanor_green_photography please look at these social media pages for more of my work and final images. I have a very specific style of photography and mainly work in black and white with random pops of colour. The work below shows the progression I have made throughout this project and my design ideas. I had also designed gifs and moving images to go on my blog so please click the link below to watch these. Due to the Covid-19 virus money has been tight for me over this period so I have had to find solutions to money problems which I mention in my portfolio sketchbook. This has been a challenging and time-consuming project, however it has been interesting to look back on old work and to curate this together in my archive and final portfolio ready for future job opportunities. I will also be professionally printing my work out when I begin my search for jobs in the artistic industry after this global pandemic is over.

This is how I have chosen to display my FMP submission along with my website page – e.g.-photography.co.uk (FMP page).

I have been experimenting with garments on the human body and ‘morphing’ into irrational fear and phobias. These are four of my most successful images around this theme. I began by taking photos of my model in the fashion communication photography studio in specific poses to replicate the body of different insects. To do this I used Photoshop to remove the face and smooth out the body. I used the lasso tool to crop around the shape of the garment on the body and then placed it on the blue background I created from my previous photos. I then used the blur tool to smooth out and create a paint like effect on the body. I then positioned them to look like humans morphing into insects. This was a very time-consuming process however I am very pleased with the final outcome.

Creating more 1930s gadgets using everyday modern objects. For this edit I used earphones to replicate the 1930s ‘dimple maker’. In this era women would use this device to imprint dimples into the skin by having it tightly fitted to the cheeks. For this shoot I thought the shape of the earphones would be perfect for making this device as they can almost form any shape. To really get the proper outcome I darkened where the earphones attach to the face to make a tight imprint into the cheek. I have been interested in the concept of making every image unnerving and obscure and have a theme throughout this particular set of images where I distort the eyes. I deliberately edit my images to look old fashioned with a dark tone on photoshop to recreate the 1930s photography style. This is one of my favourite images with the model facing the camera as it feels as though she is looking straight at the viewer. I used a similar editing process to my other images by using the ‘blur’ tool on photoshop to smooth out areas and the ‘burn’ tool to darken areas specifically around the eyes.
