As a symbol of my fun younger market I decided my model had to be Bibi, my sidekick living it up in Shoreditch. True to form, that morning she missed her train and after a dramatic sequence of events she made it to Newcastle in the nick of time. So despite my meticulous planning for the day it just goes to show that you should always expect the unexpected. I rushed my model to Mac in Fenwick then dashed back to college to meet my photographer @_BUMBLEYBEEE to get the photo shoot underway.
Owing to the chaotic start to the day, it took a little while for Bibi to warm to the camera and reveal her playful self. My role was to keep my model calm and demonstrate exactly the professional poses I wanted to achieve from the days’ work. I found it challenging explaining my concept to both Bibi and the photographer. I think this could have been eased if I had had my own privacy, however, this was just another constraint I had to work with.
Below are my final chosen photos for my Topshop Petite look book. For me the most important element of my photos were the poses. I wanted her to represent the younger market through the use of fun movements and shapes. From my research, I gathered images of poses I thought were alternative and cool. I am proud of Bibi who worked really hard in difficult conditions to set the right mood. Looking back at the final edits, all the other factors complemented each other – from the styling to the makeup and hair. When I look at the project as a whole, the photos flow and reflect the concept really well. I now have a final look book I can be proud of.
