Developments

Taking Wonderlands striking imagery brought together my editorial. Given that their intention is to inspire their readers I wanted my imagery to look powerful and ethereal. My intention was to create an editorial that empowered the audience. Flicking through Wonderlands magazines, their vivid and playful editorials resonated with me the most. I found they brought their images to life and gave a mystical aesthetic to their magazine which stood out to me and what I wanted to reinterpret in my editorial. To create this effect, I experimented with an LED light, exploring different lighting against my styling piece. I found the Plaster of Paris had not adhered in places and wasn’t radiating the light how I envisioned. To solve this I spray painted the clothing that was dipped in plaster white. This reflected the light in a softer essence and gave it a more luxurious appearance, correlating with the narrative of Wonderland. To bring my experiments together I decided to use a model to make my final image more lifelike and bring in movement. I further edited my editorial image, distorting it in Robbie Spencer spirit. I wanted to portray distorted sculptural fashion and how fashion has changed and becoming free spirited. The background was important to me to be a simplistic white, to reflect the light and have the shadows create movement and feel dimensional. Therefore i simply used a white wall as i felt this would reflect the light more powerfully.
