Steven Meisel

Steven Meisel has to be one of my favourite fashion photographers. His images always pop out from the screen. Here's another shoot of his that uses the latest trend of colour blocking to capture your attention.

Check Point 5

For this check point I'm showing all my work as selected for submission. There is still some editing to be done on some but the selection is somewhat final.

Enjoy.

1. Choose a product type and research existing advertising material particularly that which follows a particular campaign strategy and produce 4 different location shots with people/actors/models that individually tell a story. There should be a consistent strategy applied to the 4 photographs and a combination of male and female models used.

 2. Approach a local designer and produce a series of 6 location photographs of different garments, including the models of course. The garments should have a bearing on your choice of location.

3. Construct a rationale for a narrative fashion series and produce 8 photographs to tell the story.

 

I have removed 1 photo from this series in exchange for the UN Comp.

4. Produce a series of 7 studio fashion shots which include at least two couple shots and one group shot. At least two of the shots should include males.  

I have removed 2 images from this series in exchange for the UN comp

Forest Hero 


In this image I celebrate the work of small scale sustainability. The Gundaroo Common is the largest common left in Australia and is actively involved in the protection of native trees and grass land. It is projects like these that will ensure the survivability of our forests and bushland for generations to come. 

Issues and Solutions  

From where I stand the major issue affecting the sustainability of our forests is humans and the solution comes down to humans also. In this image I show a young lady at home in the forest. It demonstrates my belief that when we finally realise that we need to include the forest in our lives that the forests will be safe from destruction.

This is my forest  

As a child my family went camping a lot and my most vivid memories involve me lying around with my family in the middle of nowhere staring up at the sky and dreaming. Sometimes this would be in the desert, sometimes in thick forests, but always with my family by my side. In this image I’m showing that we sometimes just need to lie back and look at what we have, for it is when we realise what we have that we will realise what we need.

A perfect example of the fact that editorial shoots do not need to be about the clothes. What a great shoot. The contrast between the blue and their pure white hair is great, not to mention the inclusion of the orchestra.
