Constance Moscrop Portfolio Shoot

This weekend i have been shooting for a close friends portfolio. She wanted standard fashion shots but I wanted to add my style and my look to it.

I loved the top with detail around the neck line, it was my favourite piece because of the vintage look.

I used my 175cm octabox high and to the right of the model, this caused perfect amount of light and shadows for the photos.

She is one of the best models I've had the pleasure to work with because she understands what she wants and how to pose herself. The posing she had and brought to the table was second to none and overall looked amazing. I don't really understand why she has waited this long to get a portfolio sorted because of the high standard of modelling she produces.

Fashion Studio Photoshoot

 For these pieces i have decided i need to shoot a lot more in studio based scenarios to get to grips with different lighting. I wanted to also experiment with motion and capturing it through out my shoot. I have been research capturing that one specific moment when everything is just perfect. Then as soon as i started shooting realising that having a good model is key. Bethany was perfect just as soon as the camera was on, she just knew exactly what i was after. It was such a fun shoot to do because of the quality of images i got.

Creative Portraiture

After been given a brief at University for our first module. We were asked to do portraiture. 2 photos on the streets and 1 in a studio situation.
The street portraiture part of the project was a test to see if we could approach strangers and ask them if they would mind if we took their portrait. I found this really exciting because i like meeting and talking to new people. I don't mind approaching people and starting conversations with people ive never met before.

I really wanted to find interesting people and not to look an 'average joe'. As i was walking around Newcastle, i saw a man standing on the charles grey monument. He was having a cigarette and when i finally approached him i found he was waiting for friends. I told him about i was documenting the people of Newcastle and that i was envious of his beard. We had a cigarette together and then i finally got the camera out and photographed him. He had no objections towards having his photo taken.

 For the creative we had to create a hat using what ever we wanted. I chose to create a look a like of the crown of thorns from the bible. The lighting i used was one soft box to camera right and it was high up.

Fashion Bikini Look Book Finals

For college we had the task of shooting a look book for a fashion company. I didnt chose a brand as such but i just went with swimwear. The shoot was deathly cold, I shot at northumberland up a hill were it was 20mph winds and near freezing.
I loved my outdoor lighting, the 2 soft boxes looked great.
Have a look!

Look Book Practise

This week i took flashheads out from my college and practised with them at home. I am shooting a fashion look book for college so wanted to test lighting and poses with my model. The two Flashheads at first did have problems talking to each other with the infra red connection. The flash at first wasnt travelling far enough to hit the unit. I wanted to see how ND filters helped out with flash and shallow depth of field. The final shots came out nice. The poses work also for the swimwear i am shooting.
