Week 1 Review

Once i had been introduced to the project brief i quickly began deducing key parts to point me towards what i might want to see from my project. I thought about everything that interests me and what i enjoy taking photos of on a day to day basis. I started off by creating a mind map and began listing all the possible ideas and thoughts that either i had come up with or taken some inspiration from another artist or photographer.

My main idea was focused around fashion photography as this is what i have had a strong interest for a very long time, especially because i love creating new outfits and styles on myself along with seeing what other people wear as well. I would usually follow hundreds of people on either Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest in order to build a foundational knowledge of the fashion world and help give me inspiration as well. So with this in mind i know that fashion photography would be a great place to dive into.

I began looking into my idea of celebrity photos from fashion shoot photos, to just a random picture capturing them in the street. Fashion magazines such as Vogue and GQ seem to be a great starting point for a variety of different looks, style of images, colour and even poses for the models that i can emulate in my own work.

For next week i want to have begun taking some test shoots with a model to see how the idea will look and what may need to be improved. Also, i shall create a mood board with an array of ideas and themes that can help inspire me to develop and expand my project as a whole.
