These are the photos of my completed final garment modeled and styled in various locations around Ravensbourne. Firstly, I contrasted the harsh and sharp edges of my headpiece with the smooth and round edges of Ravensbourne's windows to create a juxtaposition of structures which in my view worked well. Following this, I used alternative and ironic locations such as the library or rows lockers to shoot and used the mannequins for comic effect also. On the whole, I enjoyed this task as I finally saw my piece come to life and being used in a real-life environment however I surprisingly found directing my model for styling very difficult, I found it challenging to stage the photography and style the headpiece in a creative way. Picking locations to shoot varied as there are lighter and darker areas around Ravensbourne's interior due to the open-plan design and large windows, subsequently, there was plenty of good light. I tried taking shots from various obscure angles to change the composition of the scene and create a different viewpoint. In conclusion, I am pleased with my photography and styling of my headpiece.

This headpiece is rather interesting for me, it creates an angry and fierce look on the model, especially in picture 5. I really like the use of the lift and him being cramped into and trying to push out. The model seems to be enclosed and the angular headpiece creates a sense of danger. Overall the headpiece may seem a bit simple i think it creates certain dramatic feel to the picture in certain situations.
ReplyDeleteI think this piece can be improved by building it to be even bigger, at the moment its rather small, I think this piece would look even more powerful if it continued down to body and arms, almost like a armour.
The headpiece looks very abstract and the poses that were struck were ok but couldv'e been better if there was a nice atmosphere/ background. I really liked the pose in front of the elevator door I thought that was successful as it looked like a model pose and also your product had a good focus point.
