Photoshoot for Aisha Green

www.madewithlovealg.blogspot.com/

I did a shoot today for fashion studies student Aisha Green - in the vintage book shop in winton. it was really amazing to be able to shoot there, as it has been a little favorite location of mine for a while. its like a museum so full of books and history. Here are a few sneak previews of the day, I shot so much its going to take a while to edit, but thats a nice relaxing part i find and it was good to work with Aisha as she really knew what she wanted from the shoot and that is always helpful for me as i am still learning in that department.

GEMMA BOOTH

my all time favorite photographer - Gemma Booth. I just love her style and the way she captures ambient light in her images, she has also started doing moving images aswell to compliment her photographs, and I am a big fan of her portfolio. This outdoor fashion photography style is something I really want to continue and adapt my own style to the images the way Gemma Booth can, to portraits, documentary and fashion, she has tried it all and given it a very strong personal edge.

Roxy girl perfume ad

been spending the last few days editing my images from the Roxy Girl perfume shoot - I have decided on a double page spread and a front cover, here is the progress,  i took inspiration from Cooler mag, my fave magazine of all time - I love its style and the way it celebrates girls in  water sports and fashion. hoping to print soon and start focusing on my work placement! so much going on at the moment!

messing around on imovie

here i am today in class learning about imovie - need to edit my video. expect an epic video coming your way.

Brain melt...

For my creative project I have been changing my mind a lot, going with what has been working and what has been not working so well. today I went to shoot at the Nairobi Slum school project - charity shop that is ran by so many lovely people that really want to make a difference, and were my original idea for the community project. I went there with full intentions of shooting a portrait project, but to me it really fitted the brief of a community project. So I have been playing with this idea and seeing how I can portray the real sense of community I felt from meeting the team properly, and getting the chance to photograph the work they do.

obviously, there will be real words under the images....

Portrait project - Charity -

I am finding my last project quite challenging! which is what i enjoy. I am really pushing myself to approach people and find out stories about volunteer work and charity shops. I met a lovely man today who works for hospital bedside radio. I really enjoyed finding out about the work they do and want to create portraits that give a story.

I have a lot of work to do, and a lot of people to meet! - here is a test shot of my idea - really rough edit but just trying to get a feel for what it could look like. need to stick with this because i seem to be very flaky with ideas at the moment.

Digital Production - roxy perfume shoot

Got alot of editing to do, but here are a few images that I took the other day, along with some filming as well that needs to be edited ( need to learn how to do this! ) really like these shots, thanks beautiful Pheebs.
