Today we conducted the photoshoot for this collaboration. The photographs have been taken of the different garments that have been made and will be portrayed on the instagram and website.

We carried out the photoshoot at the Royal Pavilion gardens in Brighton which was a perfect location for our aesthetic and theme. In terms of styling we intended the outfits to be colourful yet simple. We chose a simple and minimalistic colour palette to match the garments that had been made by the design students. We styled the garments in a way that they are the main focus of the image and stand out in the photograph and the styling does not distract from the up cycled pieces.

I wanted to complete the photoshoot in the Pavilion gardens as I think it matched perfectly with the aesthetic of our project. The nature surrounding in the images create a ethereal feel to the model and garments and directly nod towards the centre focus of sustainability.

I am very happy with the way that the photographs came out as I was sceptical towards the lightning as due to being outside we could not control the lighting in the photos. However, the weather was perfect for this photoshoot and the sun perfectly complimented the garments and the model. this meant I had to do little editing to the images to ensure they stood out.

I edited the images subtly in Adobe Lightroom mainly adding slight saturation, sharpness, texture and highlights and decreasing the exposure, shadows and brightness as the images came out slightly brighter than I would’ve liked due to the sun.
