Fashion Editorial Course part2.
December 2, 2009
Here is the second part of the first day shooting the Fashion Editorial Course this weekend at Garage Studios.
Yesterday we looked at the first editorial from Danny Kolasinski, and now we have the first edit from the second student, Steve Bishopp Both students were new to shooting a full editorial, and this is Steve’s first shoot of the weekend.
The previous night Matt- Art Director/Set Design and Kevin, course tutor, came up with a very simple set element- two large white rectangular boxes that could work to ‘break up’ the studio space and allow the model to move in and around the set. We started with something very simple as we find a lot of photographers fear the ‘big white space’ when they first start studio shooting, so these two simple elements allowed an immediate focal point and they are easily moved, stacked etc. If you want to use these boxes when you hire the studio just let us know. We didnt want to overwhelm the photographer with props or sets at this point, as we needed the focus to be on strong simple photography.
Again with the lighting on this, Kevin and Natasha discussed the general look with Steve and then set up a easy to use scheme. So once again, this is our edit of the students work, each photographer may have a different take on our choices- but we feel that as part of the exercise these images form an simple, effective studio editorial.
The styling in this shoot was by Emma Sandham-King, as with the first shoot posted yesterday we didnt run through big outfit changes in the first set, so the photographers were still comfortable shooting. The model again is the brilliantly versatile Sally Reynolds, with make-up by Ciara McCarthy. Hopefully you can see how quickly each photographer was able to create a different movement and feel to the shoot through use of lighting, and working through the set.
