Comparing shoots and outcome

1st shoot

2nd shoot

Final shoot

Well, we've come to end of our styling brief :( and at first I couldn't understand why the 2nd years liked this brief so much but looking back over it I've really enjoyed it myself and I would happily do it all over again, I think I enjoyed it because I was able to create things and let my ideas just flow (also I was able to let my inner bossiness out).

My first ever ever fashion shoot was my Vintage/Tank shoot which I worked with a partner to do, I enjoyed doing this task as we were able to bounce ideas off each other to create better outcomes and a lot more ideas for our work. I also found this shoot good because we had a longer period of time to sort things out and plan all our ideas out which allowed use to have a set of strong images. 

The Le Ballon Rouge shoot was the 2nd shoot and the day we got this task I had such a head ache and I was going away to London that weekend so I was in complete panic mode.. On the train that night I don't think I shut up about it all the way to Euston!! In such short amount of time we had to plan and prep and get everything we needed was stressful but an enjoyable stress if thats possible? I think considering the time period we had to do this task, I think my outcome is strong and in the future I hope to make them even stronger as this idea is unique to it's self. With the 1st shoot being completely different to this shoot, I found I liked working by myself a little bit more as it allowed me to be a tad more creative with my ideas but I did enjoy working in a team because for the theme we had our ideas grew stronger together.

The final shoot was my least favourite at the time but now looking at my outcome, it is my favourite haha. I thought for this task we would have longer to plan and prep as it's the 'final outcome' and all that but hey what was I thinking?!?! NOPE I had 4 days to do absolutely everything... which yes included making the jacket, I think at some points blood, sweat and tears where added in to the coat!! Then on the day my model didn't come and all that jazz but in the end it all figured out and worked even better than I had originally planned so fate was on my side. I enjoyed this task a lot as it allowed me to play with ideas and create something into real life. 

I really cant chose which shoot I enjoyed most as I liked them all the same and I liked the challenges I faced whilst they took place! I did learn a lot from this brief such as always consider the target audience, colours have a meaning, images in magazines have a story behind them and always express and write down your ideas. So yer Im sad/happy to be leaving this brief behind as I have enjoyed it but I am looking forward to see whats up next, I might even make some of my own shoots.... Or I could even end up as stylists, who knows.

Final Images- Vinage Shoot

Heres my final fashion story! We finally narrowed it down to 4 out of what feel like 100's. We have edited them a little bit making the colours stronger and putting a grain effect over the top of them as this aims it more toward sour target audience. Im happy with the outcome from the shoot and I would happily do it all over again, YAY. I hope you all like.

Lily Vintage

Before I reveal my final outcomes from the Photo shoot I have to mention where I got all our beautiful vintage garments from.

So first of all when we first set out doing this task me and my partner gathered together a few vintages pieces that we had, which led to the conclusion there wasn't enough to build and outfit with or even piece them together. So we thought HMM what to do and we came up with the super duper idea of visiting our local vintage shop to see if they would join forces with us and thankfully they agreed! 


The staff were ever so nice and helpful and let us dig out exactly what we wanted and needed. They had endless amounts of garments from tie dye t-shirts, to Levis, to fur coats.. It was like a vintage haven! The shop we went to is called, Lily Vintage and is based on Bridge Street, Chester. They cater for both men and women and have anything from the 1920′s right through to the 1980′s. I really do recommend this vintage shop, whether you are just looking for an on trend wooly jumper or your after a well made vintage dress!

I would just like to say Thank you to Lily Vintage for all your help with my shoot!

Vintage shoot

Today we shot our pictures for our vintage shoot! It was so much fun and I really enjoyed it. Overall I think it went really well we got some strong outcomes, we did face a few problems like the batteries died in the camera so out came the spear ones, the skies decided to open half way through the shoot and being outside was not where we wanted to be and we forgot the red lipstick! But hey ho we found away around all these problems and carried on like true soldiers.

We choose our story to be based on love (aww) and the setting to be the nearest train station. which then to the idea of it being based on a woman whose partner has left and she's waiting for the train to return. we got ideas from the Match.com advert and the film It's A Wonderful Life, as this film is in black and white our final pictures will be considered to be done in black and white. 

Here is some of our experiments and some of the pictures we got out of today and are considering using for our final story.
