Kim Crispe: Graduate Fashion Week

straight out of camera... wow

and some simple colour edits:

Did a shoot today for the lovely Kim Crispe who is graduating from my Uni at the moment and showing at Graduate Fashion Week this year. RUCA won it last year, so fingers crossed!

Here are a couple of quick edits.

Visual Seduction

The title of my latest project, I had to extend or create a new campaign for a chosen brand.

I chose the wonderful Tom Ford, and here are the results!

Got good feedback today from my group critique, so happy! The models like them too which is fab.

Busy couple of weeks

We have our setbuild project at Uni, as well as a Sequence and Series project, Essay and Fashion project. All at once. WOW.

Myself and the setbuild group (my flatmates plus Charlie) have decided to do a still from Old Boy after considering The Fly (gross), Let the Right One In, Thirst and some others including kevin's contribution, a Beatles musical set in the Vietnam war (love you really Kev). I am yet to be sent this still so will post when I recieve it.

The Fashion project I have already mentioned, I am creating a new campaign for Tom Ford Eyewear and it has to be believable as the next campign. No pressure or anything... I also cannot wait to see A Single Man, if only there were somewhere around here showing it. I have to wait until next week to see it in the city! Very impressed that the main star of the ads Jon Kortajarena is in it, who I may or may not be a tiny bit in love with.

Also, he is quoted as saying "I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in that grand love which can change your life in five days. Maybe it is just because I´m too young, but I really hope to believe the same at the end of my days." Wow.

So this is a very quickly retouched (for colour) version of one of my shots from my shoot... I have planned to get one of Fran alone, one of my male model Geoff alone and a couple shot, but after showing them to my tutor I have decided to crop Geoff to make it more eyewear and less menswear. I need to spent sooo much time on these for the hair and everything eek! But should be cool once it's done. Still need to pick the final 3 shots!

In other news, I did a promo shoot for Three For a Girl styled by Lucy Emma Harris, all arranged by their lovely manager Tom. A few of them should be being illustrated over by the amazing Toby Triumph which is exciting. The contact sheets are being poured over at the moment so I will upload a few of these when they are done!

APC style

Some shots in the style of APC for Nadine's new project.

I don't post often enough

but there you go...

I have finished my book "Sally Murray"... that needs to be photographed and scanned and what have you for here... however I am bedridden, so I will focus on the new project for now.

It's basically Fashion and Advertising, and I need to create an ad for an existing brand, taking their current campaigns and history into account.

SO:

I narrowed it down to Burberry, as that's where my knowledge and photographic talent is best placed I think. I had models in mind, the clothing sorted, black and white straight portraits etc.

OR:

I was really liking the look of Tom Ford's campaigns, the AW 09 always caught my eye in magazines because to be honest I wanted to be the girl in the campaign and be with the guy! And then this season they've come out with a great continuation in the shape of Nicholas Hoult and an attractive blonde OTT topless model with the male chauvinistic theme of her combing his hair. It will be tricky to come up with something along the lines of this, and to work out the lighting and do it as well as Tom has been but this is the one I've decided to do!

Very exciting. I was up until 6am searching for models and what have you, will update when I can.

I'm uploading these bit by bit, which I understand is pretty annoying, but it's the only way of doing it that leaves me relatively sane... uploading pictures as and when I like them/resize them...

The effects we used here were totally collaborative and I love the end result! We were a goood team.

Was originally intended to be a really clean British magazine style. We then changed it to a more romantic edgy look and so changed the colours...
