Menacing Femininity

Here is a project I did during my first year of university where I had to trend forecast and style a photo shoot in accordance to the chosen trend...mine was called 'Menacing Femininity' which combined punk/rock with urban gardening references such as gingham and flowers. I aimed to combine two opposites in order to create something inspiring and unique. This trend showed great potential during the summer of its forecast in 2012, and was largely seen throughout shops.

I chose the outdoor setting in order to portray that earthy and natural feel juxtaposing the rebellion of the punk/rock.

An Intergalactic Dream...

  

This editorial for Black Magazine photographed by Darren McDonald evokes a magical and surreal yet natural image. With the smoky coloured images contrasting the breezy black and white pictures, creating a sense of warning and confusion as well as innocence, an illusion. The Australian model Emily Jean Bester portrays a helpless and worried individual, swept up in a dazed dream.

This is beautiful work, with a hidden sense of meaning. I love the colours, the garments and the positioning of the model. It all works so well together - even though there is things surrounding the model, she is still showing the superior presence in comparison to the rest, with her bewildering expression.

Meet Charlotte Free...

Meet the new face of Forever21's Spring 2012 campaign. 

Known for her edgy image and pink locks, the 18 year old model has brought her punk-rock attitude to the label's latest collection. It is fun, flamboyant and has plenty of fierceness. 

This model has set a new level of hair dying...move over lilac, pink is in town...will the latest hair trend follow in her footsteps?

A is for Architecture (in Oxford)

I recently visited Oxford for a graduation and found myself taking several photographs of fantastic architecture. Everywhere you look in the quaint town there is some historical aspect that has a lot of character in aid of attention and fame. I tried to capture some of these key pieces.
