Wanderlust

“A very strong or irresistible impulse to travel.” “strong desire to travel”

For this project ‘Fashion Drawing and Interaction’, my theme is Wanderlust.

My entire life I have always been a dreamer. I have always dreamt of foreign lands. Lived my life in books, and held on to thoughts of the futures. Books such as ‘I love New York’ and ‘Summer In The City’ that have inspired my madness.

I recently booked a trip to fulfil this wanderlust. On June 14th, I will be flying to New York. The land where my dreams reside.

 

Photographs I like

When it comea to looking for inspiration most of it comes from within my imagination and things I come across within  day to day life. When I am asked to look for specific inspiration I don’t find it as inspiring. However, here are some images that I like, but don’t know why. Enjoy.

Test Shooting

Rachelle I went out to do some test shooting, to find locations, and test camera settings. We stayed quite close Circus Street and the surrounding area, and. took some pictures in the Circus Street campus of the university.  I was quite happy with the shots I got from the shoot. The area had a slight element of decay to it but also of regeneration. Within in the images captured I can see a slight vision of mental deterioration.

Thank you to Rachelle for modelling.

Glory in Grime

One day after lessons, Rachelle and wondered around in Brighton and capture any area of interest. We also kept our eyes open for any potential shooting areas. I took a lot of images but have decided to display the ones I found most pleasing. These images were taken in a round North Laine.

Heroin Chic and Tumblr Girls

At the beginning of our Fashion Photography and styling unit my partner and I were very taken by the idea of decay. Rachelle, was moved to decay of nature and structure, and I people. With Fashion in mind Heroin Chic was instant thought of mine. Led by Fashion Muse Kate Moss in the 90s, this trend apparently encourage the use of drugs and an unhealthy thinness to the body.

In the modern times this is the equivalent of the Tumblr girl, which I also decided to look into. On Tumblr of course. I was particularly intrigued by a brand called Heroin Kids. I thoroughly enjoyed the brands ascetic even if it wasn’t a particularly positive message that they were sending.

Please see my images of interest regarding this subject below.                                                 83d759b79961228ba8a461bce9332145 a3f37b76e3ccfe8a3b75b21d4918bdc1 c19b126a489edcdf3ac39815907bb18423eaaaf7728bf95ab6a2b7145376983e DPP_0207 feebe670c9abbb48f87f26d35d44e4e3 h7_0b373002f6_3b42ca3def-1024x677 IMG_3665-740x493 IMG_4341-740x493 IMG_4499-740x493 IMG_4955-740x493 IMG_5120-740x493
