Spring/Summer Menswear Photoshoot!


Well, I have just finished spending half my life savings on printing these things but I'm so proud of the turnout. I convinced (bribed) my lovely boyfriend's friends to model for me for this photoshoot which was going to be a modern day take on the skin head fashion. I wanted the shoot to have a really laid back casual feel to it so I just decided to snap the photographs as they were moving and talking. I think the shoot turned out really well as keeping the casual feeling to the theme helped the photographs look much more natural and fresh rather than posed. It was staged at Tudor Grange park by the skate ramps which have ended up looking rather cool on photo much more than in reality. I was very lucky with the weather that day as shooting a spring/summer theme isn't the best idea when it is actually the dead of winter. Also, the guys had to freeze their arses off in little t-shirts, but they were soon compensated with a beer after. When I came to edit them I didn't want to mess to much with the overall image as I needed the realness to come through. All I did was desaturated the background colour from the image on Adobe Photoshop Cs5 and selected areas where I particularly wanted the colour to stand out for example the red t-shirt or the braces. 
Overall pretty good module,  as I shall find out tomorrow whether it actually is - hand in!
