DIGITAL MEDIA WITH STUDIO PRODUCTION

For the studio production project I cooperated with the one of the students from my group who was designing and making dresses. I proposed to create pictures of her dresses which she required for her exhibition. We decided to cooperate and arrange a model and studio for a photo shoot. My colleague arranged the model who could pose but just on Saturdays. I found out that we could not use the college studio during Saturdays so we needed to find different times.

We still had two weeks before exhibition and decided to make pictures the week after asking model to come during week day. She took a half day off and we booked the studio.

We had three different dresses and the photo shoot took us about two hours. I set the lights, partially using natural light coming through the window, we choose a white background to emphasise the lines and fabric and started to shoot. This work involved a little a bit of guidance for the model in terms how to stand and move because she was not professional.

After checking through all the images I had I chose the best from them and showed to my colleague. She was very satisfied with the results. After negotiations and discussions from all of them she picked up two images for her project. At the end stage I used my Photoshop retouching skills and pictures were ready. 

I am satisfied with the final outcome but it would be great if we have better access to the photo studio and more accessories and different background’s colours. I had professional projects before where I have used professional modules but I found this one unusual and challenging in different way.
