Cupcakes made easy

Thought I'd throw this on here anyway. I know it isn't part of my Personal Project, but it is photography work, something I've been hired to do.
I've decided Product photography is something I'd want to go into, I find it interesting and know that there is many jobs out there that can come from it.

This has been part of my Professional Development work.

More inspiring images

 Some more examples of dresses and stuff I like, that I'm taking inspiration from.

Test images - Fashion is Rubbish

I know the photos are a bit blurry, having problems with my camera, this is just showing off the idea, and what people think. :)


This is the Tinfoil, I actually love the way it reflects the light... I think it shows it off well.

I feel like something is missing though.

 I love this too, the Newspaper is so colourful.

I think this shows well, I also feel that using something like Comic Book pages would work well, with the bright colours.

I'm glad I decided to use picture pages instead of text pages.

Thanks for reading, any comments and critique is welcome and appreciated.


Big thanks to the model, Erica!

You're a star, and I know the Tinfoil hurt!

Model Mayhem

Hai there!

Since I'm attempting to find models and make up artists for my personal project, I am using the site Model Mayhem to help me pull this together.

Today I listed a casting call, which tells people WHO I want, HOW I want them and WHEN. Which is very useful. This also supplies all the information they need.

This is the casting call...

This is another Image I think that inspires me for this shoot.

I would love to create something like this for my shoot.

I have decided to get in touch with the model and the photographer to see how I could go about getting in touch with the designer for this.

A collaboration with a designer as well as a make up artist would show how effectively I can manage my time.

Week by week Timetable

Week 1	Initial assignment given. Thinking about what I want to do my project on. Fashion, Landscape, portraiture?
Week 2	Going more into depth with the ideas, decided on 1 final idea. Fashion. Looking into photographers. Inspiring images. Dissecting the images that we like and take inspiration from.
Week 3	Sending out casting calls looking for models and MUA’s. Planning the shoot and the location, what lighting to use, time of day and date. Looking into what household items we will be using in the shoot, and how we can use them. What type of clothing are we going to go for? Experimenting with ideas.
Week 4	Hopefully doing the shoot in the chosen location. Be it studio or location. Perhaps trying out both. Shooting basic ideas, experimenting with lighting, make up looks, hairstyles and clothing types that we want to use for the final images.
Week 5	Looking over the images that i’ve shot. Deciding where I like best, and times. Refining the idea I have come up with to adapt to what I like and what best goes with my theme. Still looking at photographers and gathering information on the images I like the look of and find inspiring.
Week 6	More shoots. Adapting the clothing for the most impact on the chosen subject. Changing models and make up styles if needs. Keep shooting, all whilst still looking at images and dissecting them. Putting everything in my workbook and blog. Keeping up to date.
Week 7	Starting the research into my book, using Blurb.com. How many pages, hardback, soft back? Beginning to put the text in and some preliminary images. Documenting each step and putting it in my blog and workbook.
Week 8	Process of Elimination. Deciding what images should be going in the book and why. Deciding if a book is the best bet, pros and cons. Looking into other avenues of displaying my work. Prints, Canvas?
Week 9	Beginning the draft of my conclusion. Deciding on the layout of my book, what information to use, what images and the placement. Gathering all the information I have used for my bibliography.
Week 10	Sending my book off for printing. Allowing time for postal mistakes. This must include all information and images that I feel show my project off to the best extent. Whilst this is happening, getting my workbook up to date with everything that might not be finished. Such as magazine clippings, information, photos and research.

Nick Knight

 For my personal project I am going to be doing something called "Fashion is Rubbish".

I am intending on doing a series of photographs looking at the quality of clothing these days, and what we're wearing.

I have gone into more depth about this on my handout I have done for my class. I won't bore you with almost 1000 words! I'll save that for my fortunate classmates!


I am going to be looking at the work of Nick Knight. A famous fashion photographer, who is well known in the fashion world.
I find his work utterly inspiring and I love the fact he bends the rules in regards to fashion photography.
The below image is an example of that. The below image isn't actually digital... But a very clever manipluation done in a darkroom. 

I love the image to the left. The clothing is different and awe inspiring.


I hope to produce some work in the style of Nick Knight.
