Artists' Statement!

You may have noticed, just like me, that the over the past couple of years, the quality of clothing has been declining. Clothes that were once warm, hard wearing and long lasting are now thin, fading fast and not lasting in the washing machines. You may also have noticed that we're not being charged any less for these "lesser" items, we're just being fed that they are "pre shrunk" or perhaps "Pre faded" when in reality, this is a lie... They're just plain old rubbish.
 Since Fashion Photography is something that I really want to go into, and that I'm interested in, I decided to use this project that was interesting to me, and make it into my own Fashion photo shoot! I first started with research into photographers that really caught my attention with their work in Fashion, photographers that are well known and published. These included Testino and Knight, I then needed to move on to research the rate of decline... Did others feel the same way as me? The articles I came across were amazing... This then gave me my fodder to go ahead with my project.
 I had a vision of what I wanted them to look like, clean crisp background (In contrast) and the models wearing items we would usually consider "rubbish" such as Cling Film, Tin Foil, Paper and Bin bags. Playing up to my title "Fashion is rubbish".
