kisskissbangbang & photography exams...

So my last photography project o the school year has been handed in. I think now might me a good time to let you guys into my portfolio and see the final product!

The exam question I chose to work under was 'approaches to portraiture' and I worked around the idea of fashion photography (of course). I developed an brand called 'kisskissbangbang' which promotes itself as a vintage inspired clothes shop, similar to shops like Modcloth.

I shot 4 ads, inspired by the photos from H&M campaigns, one for each season...enjoy!

If you like them and want to see more then you can at my facebook page! There's the photos which I loved but didn't quite make the cut as well as others from my portfolio :)

I haven't put these up in order of season, so see if you can guess which is which :P Please give me feedback as I'd love to hear what you think!

Lipstick Poster...

I don't wanna keep recycling these images but I simply had to make a 50s style poster for my new lipstick :)

I started making it after I stumbled across these lovely inspirations on the internets...



Does it make the cut?

Fun & Furs...

So here is my first shoot of hopefully a sequence of portraits similar to these. Myself and an eager model composed these with a single flash head and some props we had lying around.

I recently purchased a fancy furry 1940s style coat, and was going to unveil it in this shoot, but my model quickly whipped the fur from the coat (don't worry, it's detatchable) and we ended up with a slightly more sensual set of photos than I had bargained for.
(side note: I'm most definitely not complaining, she looks great without the coat, probably better.)

I'm really pleased with how they've come out, but what do you think? Any critisisms? Ideas?

Hopefully more coming soon...
