Goodbye shoot-virginity!
Friday 21st November 2008...the start of a beautiful (and somewhat stressful) relationship with the Cherwell Newspaper's C2 fashion section. The theme was "the art of reveal and conceal", focusing primarily on sheer fabrics. There's nothing more seductive than a hint of flesh through translucence, leaving the rest to the imagination. I wanted my model to have a very specific look - geometric platinum bob and pale skin (for maximum visibility through material) - and thanks to a fair amount of Facebook stalking I found my girl, Phoebe. Topshop provided most of the clothing, to which I added a handful of miscellaneous vintage pieces (i.e. 1960s cut-out bandage dress) to avoid monotony. I also hoped to showcase that navy and black can in fact look effortlessly chic in certain combinations. I wanted the lighting to be harsh and artificial in order to best contrast skin with fabric, and for the wall behind to be easily perceptible. Poses were to be powerful yet underlying feminine, which Phoebe portrayed to perfection.
All-in-all a sheer success! Sorry.
