JUST A QUICK TEST

These are just some quick photographs I took the other day! Obviously not anything I would use for my final, but to give me inspiration. Perhaps play around on photoshop with.

ILLUSTRATIONS

Even though illustration is not my focus in this project, I have looked at some illustrations and found that they really change through time. If I was to do only illustration for this Project, I would ask myself, what would future illustrations look like? Whether we still live in a Post Modern World or not, I think we are going to rebel against this (like you do against any movement). And that is why I should definitely NOT focus on illustration, because realistic drawing is a big NO NO for me.

LIGHTING

The harsh lighting in these photographs can either depict a certain mystery or bluntness. For my shoot I think the mystery will work well with the fact that I leave the point to the commercial till the end.

IF I HAD THE MONEY..

The perfect setting for my photoshoot! Trees, grass, flowers, sheep in the bedroom! If only I could afford the furniture. Making the shoot combining both my themes (fairtrade/green & lingerie) and being modern!

Since I only have enough money for an origami bird here are some other ideas:

Take a series of photos of my model..

1. and use my incredible skills to photoshop her in green areas!

2. and let the green show through fade in and out thoughts of green environments that she is longing for!

3. and combine illustration, possible like the "Poison" video shown earlier.

IDEAS

1. Photography. Model on bed fantasising about the green environment. In between fade in and out shots of green.
2. Illustration + photography. Model as illustration and background as photography. Or Model as photography and background as illustration. Like youtube link shown above.
