To say that I’m pleasantly surprised with the result of this shoot would be an understatement.

I had added in the plan for this shoot rather last minute as I had started to consider the fact one of the shoots I originally had planned might not be possible to complete due to the awful weather we keep having. I also felt that conducting this shoot, would serve as solid development from my initial research into punk culture I had done in the beginning staged of my project.

The song that this shoot was inspired by has quite a personal meaning for me… It was a pivotal song in my current relationship.

When me and my boyfriend first met it was going really well very quickly and I mean like a wonderful but intense week after our first date… For reasons I’m not going to go on about here, we fell out and stopped talking for a couple of weeks.. We still followed each other on social media and one night when I knew he had been out, he posted two songs to his story. I knew they were meant for me and one of the songs was this one…

I know how he was feeling in the time we wasn’t speaking as I was experiencing it too but not completely as the reason we fell out was technically ‘my fault’. There has to have been a lot of frustration surrounding his emotions and then when he posted this song it was confirmed. This was the start of us again however because I obviously said something to him and we’ve been together for over a year now.. my longest relationship eva! yay! I’m not impossible to love!

Anyways, I feel like the way in which I have developed this shoot into the final outcomes like this one below, effectively reflects the songs influence. The way in which I’ve layered the images together and experimented with different layer options has created an interesting sense of depth, the chaotic tones within the song are reflected through the models facial expressions and movement of the different poses. I really like the outcomes from this shoot, they might be my favourite so far.
