Final Evaluation
Our first task was to research fashion photographers historical and contemporary. I found this task very interesting and inspiring to see the different types of fashion photography, styles, clothing and editing techniques. I really liked Alex Salisbury's work Its simple but the contrast in her photographs are really eye catching and the editing is not over the top so it appears very natural.
Task 2 We had to go out and photograph street fashion, this meant that we had to go up to people and ask them if we could photograph them, which I am not very confident doing, which i know this is something that I need to build and improve on. So I had to try and improvise by photographing people while they was moving around town and photograph my friends.
Task 3 This task we had to look at low key and high key lighting in the studio, for preparation for when we went in and so we had an idea of what we wanted and could start to plan out photographs we was going to take.
Task 4 We also had to do some more research for the studio into different lighting equipment such as light meters, so we knew how to use them and why we used them to help us with photographing in the studio so we know what settings to put our camera on.
Task 5 This is the task I enjoyed the most probably out of all the research tasks was researching the magazines, the styles and the layouts of them and how the magazines are different for different audience and different type of fashion.
For our accessories shoot we had to photograph some accessories to go inside our magazines, i have only managed to photograph one accessory and that was an gold watch, I have used this in my magazine, i thought that these photographs went very well with my magazine style and design.
We had to do a lot of interval and interdependent shoots, of accessories and clothing, due to my very busy lifestyle i haven't been able to put 100% into a lot of these photographic task, such as the hat and umbrella shoot.
Our final piece had to be a front cover and a 2 page spread, I always find working on photoshop difficult because i am not very good at remembering how to do things and i always mess things up somehow. so i did have a little but of help from my friend just helping me remember how to do some times.
