STUDIO: MEETING FASHION PHOTOGRAPHERS

After some discussion and organisation, Zak and I had the chance to talk to all of our desired fashion photographers in three separate meeting. Our first meeting was with second year, Farid who we met face to fact in a formal meeting in the library. Together, we presented the presentation that we had assembled (SEE BLOG STUDIO:FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER'S PRESENTATION) with confidence, attempting to translate our idea as clear as possible. He expressed a very positive approach to our idea and he seemed very eager to get involved. Some idea that he gave us to push the project possibly further and take it down a more abstract route was to incorporate a concise use of lighting during the shoot. This could possibly involve aiming a shard of light into the models eyes as they try and deflect it with their hand. Some other interesting idea he had was to maybe collage some of the photographs after the shoot, illustrate over the photographs digitally and to create sculptures of the models.

We will continue to keep Farid up to date with our progress on the project and to see if he has any further ideas. 

After this, we rang Matt Morris, a recent graduate, over Skype and shared our screen so we were able to show him our presentation and talk him through it. We recorded the whole conversation (attached below). Matt seemed incredibly eager to get involved also. He shared his thoughts and opinions on the brief and pointed us in a good direction to continue the process. This involved getting a hold of stylists and models. He also suggested that we keep in mind that our models must have a strong facial structure as this can possibly highlight some of our garments quite well. With Matt's positive attitude also on board, we would now continue our project and keep him in contact just like Farid.

Finally, we called Annie using the same process as Matt. She is also a recent graduate. During the interview she seemed slightly confused and expressed a little bit less interest in the project. She said that she would 'give it a go' which did not sound very convincing to us however she didn't completely drop us. Given the fact she already knew Matt convinced her to work with us Zak and I believe. She jotted notes down during our conversation which was at least something positive. She said that she would try and come up with ideas and we would stay in touch with her, giving her regular updates with the process.
