Hair And Make up Ideas..

Make up

For Our shoot as we want a grunged up student look i think that hair and make up should be quite dark and rugged. For example big hair and smokey eyes here are some examples of what sort of look i want..

i quite like the dark smokey eyed effect for the model to fir in woth our grunged student theme but i dont know if it will fit in well with location shots outside i will have to do some test shots to see.

Hair




I really like the styles above and think they would work well with the sort of look we want whether we will be able to achieve the looks i dont know!!

Styling ideas... Cont

Rebekah Roy



I also came across Stylist Rebekah Roy who has a great student style feel to her images. I really like her style and aklso feel it is reflective to the student gruunge look we want.

Alexandra Fullerton




I really like the styling on theses shots styled by Alexandra Fullerton and i think they would be perfect for our night out student shots. I think they capture a story and they are vampy yet classy at the same time.

Styling ideas...

As a group we have decided to go for a grungey student look for the model to fit in with are student life theme. I have been researching into stylists and magazine shoots to get ideas for our styling..




I come across this stylist Aradia Crockett and i really like her work London fashion stylist Aradia Crockett is experienced in styling both menswear and womenswear. Her growing list of credits include commercial and editorial  fashion shoots. To book Aradia for a fashion styling or personal shopping. I think it reflects our stundent sytle we want and this type of styling could work well with our student life theme.

ideas for our Series of pictures continued..

We have also decided to go for a theme of  ..
 'DONT HIDE AWAY GET OUT AND ENJOY YOURSELF' in otherwords your a student so enjoy the student life to the full although you have to study and make your grades you also have to embrace being a student...


The group meetings :

On monday Rosie and ashleigh met up in Preston to discuss location ideas for our DO'S and DONT'S themed shoot. The final desicions was to have a series of images including location shots with a different theme for each shot.
 1. the first image will be of model going out with a friend(s) on a night out ..
 I like the above images for ideas of how we could shoot that paticular scene as i think its important for us to get the right shot without it looking tacky and tasteless.


2. The second image we have decided to create a shot of the student coming home with a boy. However we dont know if we want the boy in the photo we might just have his hand or arm . we also want to have the model holding a can of beer  to illustrate the student life indepth. 




Although the above images arent exactl;y what i explained we wanted but they do show the idea of theype of initmate shot we want.

3. Cooking food / eating take away..
I really like these images i found and thionk its a great example to show how the student life really is and its a tasteful way to use take away food in a shoot!


 we have choosen to take an image of the model eating food as oppose to eating healthy meals which is what most students tend to do .


3. Time mangement.
Below are some images which i feel relate to time managment in student life..



As with all students most of them tend to struggle with time mangament so we have choosen to use this as another one of our ideas for a shot.

Final shoot Ideas..

We have come in a group which consists of : Myself , Ashleigh Upton , Rosie Walker and Racheal Hopley. We have discussed ideas and thoughts for a concept for our education themed shoot and after alot of ideas and thoughts we have decided to go for a student like theme following student life. Our initial idea was to go with a theme of ' you wouldn't go out like this so why come home like this'. Based on the NHS drinking adverts

However we wasan't to keen on this idea in the end so we have decided to go for a theme of the DO'S and DONTS of student life.

New Fashion Photography Project ......

We have been given a new brief for photography to create a series of pictures with an education theme so i am going to do some research and get some ideas for themes and props.



I have looked at the geek trend but it is to clich'e and obvious so im trying to get more ideas...




Then i looked at typical st Trinian , British school girl trend which is obvious but its quite tacky so i am not that keen on it however i do like the idea of putting my own twist on the trend like on the top picture.
