Humourising the fact that the media censor and control everything they show to us. I wanted this shoot to be funky, vibrant and playful to give the audience a kaliedascope vision of an issue within the media. The props were inspired by the Emoji’s that symbolise the private parts, used in text and social media.

We live in a world which is full of wonderful things, surrounins which are being wasted by ignorance and vanity. All around me I see more and more people getting swallowed by this distressing digital divider. A divider which allows people to separate their strengths and weaknesses. Resulting in the rest of us comparing our ‘worst bits’ to somebody elses ‘best bits’. people are more interested in what is going on their screens then what is going on in their mise en scene. Why is this? If you Took a step backwards and looked at the bigger picture you’ll see, that being a social media celeb isnt all it’s cracked up to be. Live in the now, notice the trees, notice the sun and notice the bees, if all you care for is social media needs, the meaning of beauty will surely decrease. Cameras aren’t real, retinas help you see, look from your eyes, not from your screens.

Both the left and right images were part of a set of shoots that were inspired by a variety of adverts. For the image on the right hand drew the spotty background, scanned it in and then placed the image in Illustrator. Next, I used image trace to make spots digital then placed the spots into photoshop and played around with the position of the spots. Once I was happy with the composition I then used the rubber tool to erase the spots that were on top of the model. Last of all to add to the style that inspired this advert I designed a font using hand-drawing lettering and illustrator.
This photo was inspired by ‘Snow White and the seven dwarfs’, as one of the concepts I looked at was feminism in fairy tale and folklore, the gender roles were reversed. as the hot that I wanted was filled with people and the studio was small, I decided to take individual photos of all of the models separately and edit them together into one long photo in photoshop. I placed all images on the document one by one and changed the size of the image to make sure all of the models looked in proportion to each other. I used the rubber tool to rub out along the left and right sides to make the models look like they were stood closely together. Next, used the smudge and blur tool get rid of the harsh lines in between each image and filled in the white gaps with the tops of the images. Last of all editing the image to make it warmer and vibrant to finalize my photograph.

A project inspired by the history and the theory of Grimms Brothers, folklore and fairy tale especially stories from. The earliest edition of the Brothers Grimm was called Kinder und Hausmärchen and was particularly peculiar and grotesque. However, over the years the tales were adapted and shaped to fit in with ever evolving societal needs. Therefore, I decided to contemporise fairytale and tried the glamorise the ghastly tales of the Brothers Grimm classic tale of Hansel and gretel. The set and props were designed and constructed by me and were influenced by the famous cottage in the woods which was constructed of cake and sweet treats.
