Weeks of nerves, excitement, brainstorming for ideas and finally, the actual shoot... First of all, I would like to thank Joanna and Bridget, my lovely housemates, for being models for me. I would also like to say a huge 'thank you' to my friends Abbie, Susan and Bridget's sister Jocie for all their help. It would not have been possible to do this without you girls! Special thanks to Marc Bullock, my tutor at the college, for letting me borrow the lighting.
Last Saturday we turned my home into photography parlour for the day. Starting at about 8 am in the morning with lots of coffee and jim-jams on, the spare room got cleared, sofas moved, lights carried upstairs whilst Bridget picked up some nibbles and pizza from the garage to feed the troops. Around 9 Susan and Abbie arrived.
I have done some research online and in magazines to see what sort of pictures and poses I wanted. The main theme was shoes, so we tried to focus on that. The weather was horrible, cold and rainy, so any hope I had for outside shots was gone, we had to do them all inside. The space and equipment was limited, but I feel we have brought out the best of what we had. All the clothes and shoes were chosen on the day, and the make-up and hair was done by Abbie and me. Susan and Abbie not only helped with the make-up, lighting and arrangements, but also took photos of the preparations, which I hope will give a feel for how much work has gone into the final photos. They are beginners pictures, so please don't be too harsh judging them, but I could not have dome these at all before I started the course.
