Projector Testing

During our developmental stage, Moira and Adam tested the shots of locations they had scouted and projected the images on top of the mannequin to see if the look is something we want and to see wether it would be successfull. We realised that doing projection again, in terms of from our last project: would show a development of work and work processes.

As you can see from the images the projection of the location shots looks strong just as it is, it may be good to look into styling the mannequin with only photographs of locations as another project, but for this, for myself and Marie to style the model or mannequin, the image as a whole would look too busy.

Mannequin and Lighting testing

Last week the two photographers tried and tested the lighting in the studios on a mannequin.

The images look really successful, I love the use of coloured lighting, it helps adds something to the images and the mannequin is perfect, she looks very realistic. In terms of styling, I think if we do tests from one extreme to the other meaning, we could use for instance, a simple suit and see what the image looks like with the lighting then we could test styling ideas with clothing that has more detail: the lighting I think will work better with the detailed clothing because it will show up the creases and contrasts in the clothes. The simple styling however may add a mysterious kinda creepy sense to the uniform of women and mannequins.

Four Naturals

I was thinking about our shoot, and trying to generate some ideas that could be involved in the shoot: the other day I came across some images of a fashion shoot that was based under water, the model was photographed while under water, and this got me thinking about the four elements, when considering our initial product, the 'Matchbox' – earth/air/fire/water. At the minute I haven't a solid idea as to how to incorporate these elements, if we all want this, in the shoot but It's something I will think about.

We could bring the elements in the photoshoot through the styling or the make-up looks perhaps or the lighting used in the images.
