Here are my final 12 images for my Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter Portrait theme.
I wanted to show them pre photoshop and go through what and why I like about each picture and some comparisons from some of the photographers I researched, to what I ended up doing in the studio.
From top left going horizontally....
Winter 1 - I loved this picture.... I wanted to included a basic forward front portrait shot in my collection and thought that this one was a little different. I love the hat and have used pink wallpaper as my background. She has a natural no expression on her face and really shows the make up perfectly! 5.0 F Stop - 1/6 Shutter Speed - ISO- 100
This shot I tried to recreate from the Stephen Eastwood research I did..... I found his work appealing and think I did a pretty good job at imitating the fashion look. Obviously after editing this will look better and more similar. I will be keep my picture colour though as I feel this is quite important to my work and want to keep my theme consistent.
Winter 2 - This is a typical fashion shot what you would see in any fashion magazine..... I love the black dress and the colour scarf I think it makes the picture more interesting. I also like the slight shadows of her legs which is an effect similar to one of the photographers I researched.... 4.0 F Stop - 1/6 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100
Winter 3 - The pose of the model is a little different and liked the face shes looking straight into the viewer if the picture which makes it personal. I have purposely over exposed the photo which gives it a little bit of a 'wacky' view which goes with the pose of the model.... 4.0 F stop - 1/6 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100
Autumn 1 - I love the angle of this shot and makes the frame more interesting with the subject not just being in the centre of the shot. This is my only landscape shot of this theme and like the fact there is space in the top right hand corner, again this was on purpose and could be for a number of fashion products. 5.0 F Stop - 1/6 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100
Autumn 2 - I love love love this picture.... I love the angle that it has been taken and cropped. I used a wind machine and love the model pose especially on her face. I know its very important for the camera to connect with a subject and normally that connection is through the eyes but I feel that this picture could be used for some sort of sensual product effectively.... 5.0 F Stop - 1/6 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100
Autumn 3 - This is one of my fave shots out of the whole theme..... I used a desk from out of the studio and leafs that I bought in myself to make the season a bit more convincing. I love the model pose and the angle that the picture was taken..... 5.0 F Stop - 1/6 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100
Summer 1 - This is quite a simple shot and I think I have made use of the lighting here to influence my theme.... Summer! I believe that it looks like the sun is actually shining and the parasol that she is using is to cover her from the sun..... The make up is simple and hair pushed back for effect..... I bought in a sun umbrella as one of my props and like how it has been used in the shot. The way the picture has been taken/cropped, you could think she has no clothes/bikini on i.e on the beach. 9.0 F Stop - 1/25 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100
Summer 2 - This is another one of my favorite pictures.... I have used a block for the model to squat on, I had to get the shot quite quickly as it wasn't the most comfortable position to be in for the model. I used the wind machine to create a breeze and again lots and lots of light from camera work and the lights in the studio to have an effect of Summer. 9.0 F Stop - 1/25 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100
Summer 3 - This picture is lovely.... I again have used a large amount of light from the studio and camera work (low aperture). I like that there is space on the right side of the frame creating a great angle of which I think the model looks like she is leaning over slightly.... Makes the picture more interesting, I think! I love hoe light the bottom right hand corner is just an effect for the Season! 9.0 F Stop - 1/25 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100
Spring 1 - This is quite a casual shot with the model looking straight at the camera. I used the prop of a brown suitcase from the studio and think it went with the model's clothing quite nicely. I like the composition of this picture with the model on the left hand side but there is still a focal point at the bottom of the shot of the suitcase. 8.0 F Stop - 1/25 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100
Spring 2 - I love the over exposure on this shot and the shadows from the legs and body.... Again trying to compose a picture like on of the photographers I researched. I also like the fact you can see the cord going off the picture - makes it more real! 5.6 F Stop - 1/25 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100
Spring 3 - I know Ive said for a few, but i really think this is my fave picture for composition. The model has changed her clothes in to a theme and found some fabric to match the theme of the clothing and used the studio blocks to create a background..... The hands are already half cropped out and love the angle which I took this.... 7.1 F Stop - 1/25 Shutter Speed - ISO - 100

The fashion in these pictures are very different.... However the pose of the model's are quite similar and with the picture being portrait feel that Alex Styles work had an influence in my work here...
