So, after a few weeks of prep, sourcing clothing, models and equipment we finally did our group Photoshoot...
The morning was cold & full of rain, but we were all in high spirits as we arrived at the studio, Myself & Jess arrived full of clothing, shoes, clothes rail, steamer, styling kits - you name it we had it, Gemma & Gemma had a little bit if an issue with picking up equipment (No fault of there own i might add, lack of staff in the media factory!) but eventually we were all set!
I'm so glad we used the studio, as the weather continued to be miserable all day! So we started preparing our scene, putting back drops up and adjusting the lighting when we discovered our original plan didn't quite look how we had hoped - but never fear, we managed to resolve the problemo with a few adjustments and some practice posing from Gemma! After that slight hiccup the day ran smoothly, and we were all really happy - if not a little tired!
Models: I'd like too thank all 4 models for there help! We used 2 professional models(one male, one female), and 2 girls we thought would be suitable for our idea.
Hair: Again, thanks too both hairdressers for taking the time to drive too Preston to help!
Make up: Our make-up artist couldn't make it so we all helped with the make-up, and i was impressed by our efforts, Maybe we've discovered a hidden talent? Or maybe its maybeline! :)
Lighting: Well this was where our dilemma started, we kept finding our backdrop created unwanted shadows - we were all getting a tad stressed & worried, then we realised we could make this work to our advantage, and after a few retouches to lighting we worked our magic with the shadows!
Styling: As fashion image students, we all wanted the stying to remain fashionable but not to stereotypical, out idea had a dramatic aspect and i think this was mirrored through the chosen outfits.
Cameras: We borrowed a camera from the media factory, as well as using Gemmas, this meant we could take a variety of shots in the same time space. Snap Happy!
Were going too go through all the images tomorrow and select the ones were going too submit! I'm excited too look our hardwork on screen, I'll post the final images in the next few days! X
