Fashion Without Faces

I have decided (thanks to a little help from my friends) that the unedited photo on my previous post has made it through to the book!

Here are another 2 of my images =] ...still so bland =|

Edited or unedited?

Book Layout & Image Names

Okay so i've been thinking about the layout of my book.

I want white pages, i think it'll make this type of work look more professional than if they were black...

I'm thinking that i'll have one image on each 2 page spread. The image being on the right page. Then i'm going to put the title of the image on the left in grey type writer font?

I want the titles of my images to be totally unrelated to the actual image... i'd thought about naming them after the person who is in the image but then realised some of my images don't have people in! So my plan is either lyrics or film titles!? ... Not so sure this is the best of my ideas!

Fashion Without Faces

Here are my latest 3 shots for my fashion without faces project =]

I acted on my ideas of not using people and taking photos of just clothes, shoes, accessories ect.

Not best pleased with the shots...i think they're rather bland =|

Think i'll stick them all in my book anyway =] ... gonna shoot some more last minute work today =]

I aimed to focus on the logo on my uggs and to get a shallow depth of field... i managed to do this but i think it'd be a better image if the depth was even shallower. I then used photoshop to tidy up the uggs as they looked abit scruffy =]

Self portrait! This is possibly the worst of all of my images... i think it'd be a whole lot better if there was more going on in the background. Might re-shoot this later in my garden or something =]

This is my favourite image from this set of 3 =] ... the original idea was to get the charm in focus and the swarovski logo out of focus in the background...but i couldn't get the charm in focus properly because its teeny! (I've now added a macro lens to my wish list!) But all in all i'm happy with this image!

New Skyscapes

I'm really getting into this whole sky/land/city scapes thing! Scarey considering a few weeks ago i didn't want to touch it with a 10 foot barge pole!

I'm slowly but surely getting used to the different shutter speeds and appurture settings i need to get punchy vibrant skyscape shots =]

Here are my latest 3 =]

I took this on holiday in spain but never got round to cropping and tweaking it (there was a horrible looking for sale sign on one of the boats that stood out like a sore thumb!)

Everything else colours ect. is how it was when i took the image.

These two images are from the sunset last night! Again no editing with the colours or contrast or anything, just cropped slightly so there isn't as much dead space!

Fashion Without Faces - New Ideas

Okay so i've had a thoight about something else i can include! =] I want my book to be a mix of different things (fashion based) and at the minute it all feels too 'samey'...

Hairstyles is one!
Similar to these:

And just clothes or accessories on their own...
Like these:

Easy peasy right!? SORTED!

Fashion Without Faces

Heres my newest image... NOT at all happy with it!

The original idea was to get my sister to jump on the trampoline with her Cheerleading uniform on...but the shots had too much in the background and i wanted just the sky.

So! I took 2 seperate images and blended them together in photoshop. Now it looks too "photoshopped" =|

These are the 2 original images

This is the final image... its looks stupidly photoshopped right? Or is it just because i know??

Fashion Without Faces

These are my latest 2 images for my book! =] ...not too happy with the first one... it just doesn't look very appealing to me. I'm very happy with the second one =]

So i'm slowly but surely running out of ideas for my book! =[
I think its more to do with the fact i don't know too many people to take photos of, aswell as not being able to think of locations to shoot.
I'm possibly going to shoot more of the same people...and blag the locations. Also thought of doing some photos of myself...that could prove tricky!

 

Another idea i was thinking of mixing in with this project was photos of peoples open wardrobes as this still links with the concept of what people wear tells you alot about the person.

Also i've thought about taking photos of peoples shoes. People say that in an interview the interviewer will often look at your shoes to get an idea of what you're like.
