Fashion Campaign
Final Major Project Uni Semester 2.
I started off with the idea of Seven Deadly Sins, this theme I came up with in first year semester 2, I decided I wanted my work to be more than just a photo shoot based on a theme after all it's ment to be a Fashion Campaign! I worked with some great girls on a location shoot the other week in Wigan, we exchanged contact details & will definitely work together again the are amazing models, they can dance, do gymnastics, and acrobatic/ariel arts can get into character when given a role are amazing models. I came at the project sideways in the sense I had found my model before my theme, I then started to look into dance, movement, pose/poise, flexibility. I look at the current big hit film Black Swan which I have seen at the cinema not so long ago although I am going to re watch it for research.

She strives for perfection until she perfects both the black & the white swan.

Striving for Perfection.How everyone in one way or another is striving for perfection, how no one is perfect and how imperfections is what makes everyone different, individual and everyone has there own identity as they are real. I am going to post any links, images, videos that relate to my FMP- some research will be on here & some in my sketchbook.
