Friday 26th March.
Woke up and the weather was fine, luckily.
Our orginal model pulled out at the last minute, having recieved a text from Charlotte asking if me or Amy knew anyone, no! Not at this short notice!!
I did start to wonder if the photoshoot was going to happen!
Holly found another girl to be our model, her friend, Grace, so the photoshoot was back on!
We arrived at the farm about 11 and started to take images around half 11.
The weather was in two minds whether to rain really hard or not, but we managed to shoot the photographs around the weather! Even deciding to include a brolly as an extra prop!
We decided that we didn't want to take a lighting kit with us to a farm as it would have got dirty (& wet) so we just took our cameras, a flashgun and a reflector.
The outfits the Holly & Charlotte had styled looked really good, and the makeup and accessories that the model wore were just as good!
Also trying to make the model look like she could belong on the farm but also having the contrast between the clean and dirty - inspired by our found object, the Apple Blossom Soap & Bath Cubes, wasn't really as tricky as we thought!
There were a few times that it was hard to capture the right images, due to the rain, wind and also the dull sky. Which looked horrible and plain on the photographs when we were taking them in the field! But all in all every different location we managed to capture a good selection of different angle images, also from different heights and also close up images of the model and pictures with all the props and details in the frame. At first there was conversation about whethere the photographs should be taken in landscape or portrait. Portrait was the winner!! As most fashion photographs are taken in portrait and we decided that it would look better in exhibition.
