Work shop – Styling

STYLING WORK SHOP

This work shop for styling has been my favourite one so far. Creating concept boards beforehand for inspiration i decided to choose the theme/story of uni sex or gender neutral fashion. I looked into collections from Tom Ford within the 90’s time period when he worked with Gucci and then a collection from Phoebe Philo when working with Celine. These collections gave me the idea to work more towards unisex fashion as they were based around tailored fashion, suits and classic clean cut looks both working with traditional colours.

Before the work shop i created an edit of clothes that i wanted to work with. Mainly black, grey or white to stick with the gender neutral theme but to also add my own style to it. I used the work shop time to practice angels, lighting and outfit ideas for my final ideas, using the time wisely to see what worked best for what i am trying to achieve. I want a professional look, with classy and strong images.

These are a few of my test shots. Working with different frames, angles and outfits. I now have a better understanding of how i can make then look better within a studio to get the final finish i want. I also now know what colours i want to work with and be able to put together some more intricate outfits that stand out more for the final shoot.

Editorial Ideas

Some of my editorial idea and photography. 

I wanted to experiment with my angles, backgrounds and what was in the frame with each picture. I decided on having the photoshoot outside to capture the main message of the editorial being the fact the ankle boots are for perfect for everyday. I looked at my deconstructed ankle boot and a beautiful emroided ankle boot.

I then went on to use photoshop to enhance the photos and adapt them. Experimenting with different tools on the programme and what work best for each photo, to them work out what effect and style i was going to use for my editorial for it all come together.

Comparing the original and photoshopped photos was interesting as i don’t like to make pictures look ‘fake’ or to edited but more vibrant and crisp.
