After the lecture on Monday about 'Studio VS Location' I came to the conclusion that my personal preference is shooting on location. I love shots that are taken in 'exotic locations'. When I look at a photograph I want to be involved in the image, I want to be transported there. I think the idea of escaping from reality appeals to me most when talking about the aesthetics of photography. Fantasy, fairytale, weird and wonderful, whimsical, futuristic and out-of the ordinary are words that spring to mind when trying to describe photography that I like.
Constructed scenes with a medley of props, colours and textures is something I would like to experiment with-Similar to the locations and set ups of Tim Walker, Annie Leibovitz and David LaChapelle.
I have worked in the studio several times and I'm still very open to use a studio but I think the plain white background is something that I find quite daunting. I like photographs with a lot going on in them, 'more is more' in my opinion. As you can tell from looking at my previous posts I am influenced a lot by colour. I find that colour alone can be really inspiring. At the moment I think that I am referencing colour more as it is an escape from the dreary greys of Preston.
This blog is set up as part of my 'Fashion Image' module at university. It will include my inspirations, ideas and initial concepts.
