This project has been one of my favourites so far as it
combined practical skills with another aspect of photography. To begin with I
was not very interested in fashion photography but, as the project went on, I
began to understand the aspects of this section of photography and look into it
more which sparked an interest in me as I began to see how different fashions
influenced culture and the extent of the influence on modern society.
The set build itself was challenging as there was a lot to
consider, a lot of materials to source and a lot of possibilities when it came
to composition. However I liked the idea of sourcing our own materials and
finding the best prices for things as it gave me an idea of what it would be
like to choose set building or the like as a profession.
The fashion aspect was also challenging as we had to design
our own costume from scratch using influences from other fashion designers and
shoots. I found it interesting looking into the different designers and see how
many different sources influenced our final design.
As a team I believe we worked well together. There were
disagreements as each of us had some of our own ideas about how the set should
look and what the clothes the model would wear and where the influence would
come from; however we managed to come to agreements on all decisions as we
considered each person’s view and came to a compromise. Although communication
broke down a little at the end of the project, I feel that we complemented each
other well as a team as each of us had our own separate skills set to bring to
the team.
