Dissertation Practise: Punk Shoot!

Hi!

As you all know (As I've been banging on about it for weeks lol!) I've been preparing for my dissertation photoshoot. It was shot over two days with two different models and make up artists, both days went to plan and I'm so happy with the results! Like I mentioned before all of the clothing was sourced by myself and 'editted'/re-mastered by me for it to look the same as the 5 chosen outfits. Here are some of my many favourites.

Photographer: James Robsinson - www.experiencephotographic.com

Stylist and Clothing: Me

MUA and Hair: Aprill Ross and Frankie Sassquatch

Models: Sam Weller and Helene Atsuko

Enjoy! 

PUNK!: Dissertation Shoot

Hi Guys!

 I have been super busy these last few weeks since I returned back to university. As I mentioned in a previous post a few weeks ago I have been preparing for my dissertation practical . As I study a creative course we were given the option of doing an 8,000 word dissertation or a 4,000 piece with a response to what we were talking about/addressing in our essay. As my dissertation question is ‘How Has Vivienne Westwoods Early Punk Style Influenced Fashion?’. I have been looking at fashion designers who have been influenced in some way or another by punk. I decided to recreate 5 outfits from 5 different designers to portray this.
As I’ve mentioned in other blog posts, I don’t always feel confident with photography at all, and styling is more where my heart lies within this area, so my friend James Robinson photographed both days for me as he is very good!! I re-mastered and styled both shoots with clothing I bought from eBay, charity shops and things I have found at home that would be perfect for my shoot. I paid close attention to detail by even sewing on buttons for them to look more like the original outfit. I had two professional models that both have an impressive portfolio of work between them, for the make up I used two girls who both study Hair and Make Up Design at my university Aprill Ross and Frankie Sassquatch. The whole team were amazing and I can’t wait to work with them all again in the future, - more shoots are 100% pending! I just thought I’d share some sneak peak photos with you from the shoot, I won’t be getting the final edited images until next week though. Enjoy!

#OOTD

As I mentioned in an earlier post regarding my dissertation, -yesterday was day 1 of 2 shoots! I was shooting with my long time friend James Robinson who is an amazing photographer (definatly one to watch), the shoot was styled by me, all of the clothing remastered by me aswell to fif with my dissertation topic & my plans. I wanted these shoots to be of the best quality & I feel that everything from the model, photographer & the MUA all have special qualities that really make an image/shoot. I will post some preview images of both days tomorrow so you can all see how it is all coming together! So far I'm so pleased with how everything has turned out!

Christmas Presents (HAPPY NEW YEAR)

Happy new year to all and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! It’s crazy how we all anticipate to Christmas and New Years Eve and they’re both over so quickly, - I enjoyed the festive period while it lasted and it was lovely to spend time with my family and friends as I don’t get to see them as much as I’d like to because of University. I had a great day with my family, drank lot and ate far too much, - but that’s the whole point in Christmas isn’t it?! I just thought I’d share with you all some of gifts I received over Christmas and the things I bought with my River Island Vouchers. If you have been following my blog over the last few weeks you may have seen my ‘Christmas Wishlist’, well I was a lucky girl and got the mustard coat from Topshop for Christmas (thanks to my lovely mum). I love this coat so much, the colour, the style, everything! I will post a picture up soon on how I like to style this item! I also got some River Island vouchers from my Auntie and my older brother so I couldn’t wait to spend these, especially because I haven’t bought anything for myself in soooo long! Fortunately I was in London for a few days with my boyfriend so I was able to take a quick visit to RI on Oxford Street.   I must say I was so impressed with the River Island sale, if you haven’t already checked it out please do it is awesome! I’ve had my eye on the blue checked trousers and the blue patterned jumper for a while so I was so happy when I discovered it had gone in the sale. I’ve made a promise to myself to wear/buy fewer wedges (heels) and try to go for a more elegant strappy style of heel, luckily these were also in the sale and size 5 was the last one in store so it was obviously meant to be! Lastly, I bought this red floral sequin embellish jacket down to £25 from £80!! << What a BARGAIN!

Topshop £85
