card inspiration.

You can't tell my the scan, but the image is in sepia with areas of pink on the dress. This is a technique that I would like to try in my photography - editing areas a different colour.



It is clearer in this scan that the angels have areas of colour on them although the image is sepia. I am going to try this technique on one of my images from shoot three as they are black and white and would look nice with a little colour.



The pretty bordering around this card is gold which I really like. If I wanted to create this kind of affect, I would consider visiting Hobbycraft to purchase a pretty material.

layering material scans.

My favourite material scans were the polka dots and the roses. So I chose an image from shoot three to layer with them to see the affect it gives and whether it will be a good option for a final piece.





I found that they didn't actually work as well as I had hoped. Therefore, I don't think I will be using this technique for a final piece. But it was a good idea to experiment and see the different affects that can be used. I decided that the technique didn't work very well because the images seem too cloudy and not clear.

I then went on to try one of the other materials I had scanned:



This material gives the image a pale pink tint but giving it texture at the same time. I really like the affect that this gives! It makes it seem like the image was printed on a textured paper.

Here it is, finished:


And with the image layered on top:

materials and textures.

As my mum is a florist, she has alot of different wrapping celephane designs in her studio. I took advantage of this and took samples of some of my favourites (rose design, polka dots etc.) and see if they would scan through the printer. I would then like to layer one of them onto an image from shoot three. Here are the scans:

mood board.

I designed a mood board, using images from Glamour and Cosmopolitan magazines. The images consist of fashions that I like and photography compositions that appeal to me. I thought it would give the audience an idea into what I am interested in, in terms of photography. The images are of models in particular locations and individual clothing; dresses and a mask.

glamour magazine scan.

I found this image in Glamour magazine. My idea that I found from deviant art (previous image) was to create a series of images of leg shots, with different styles of tights and shoes in each one. This scan is a similar idea to what I had, although I had present mine within boxes. But this image reminded me of the idea, and I may end up using the styling at inspiration.

gemma booth.

Gemma Booth's photography focuses a lot on location shots, using natural lighting. I would love to use her inspirational work for future shoots because I find her photography fascinating. I thought she was a relevant photographer to include for this project as she focuses on fashion, however, I didn't have time to do an actual shoot influenced by her so I will definitely try and achieve this in future projects.
