Photoshoot

 "Author's own, Burberry themed photo shoot"

Here is the photo shoot that i produced in conjunction with my other Burberry related work. The images show the model [Joe] posing in Burberry style clothing, i styled the images making sure they still had Burberry's prorsum values e.g. slick, stylish and traditionally British… I chose this model because i think his look is iconicity British, and with the decayed, abandoned location  it contrasted flawlessly with the pristine look. I chose a verity of outfits for the model to try on based on what our design team had produced as well as keeping it typically Burberry. The design team were designing for the A/W14 collection so shirts, polo necks and scarves were incorporated in to the designs as well as the iconic Burberry trench, i experimented with the way the outfits were styled, combining blazers and polo necks to shirts and scarves.  I am extremely happy with the shots that are composed against the door with the dark red and white paint peeling off, i think the lighting if perfect, reflecting the red onto the subject making him appear glowing and fresh faced, exactly what i was looking for , for this shoot. I am also fond of the  slight appearance of the burberry check , which also works perfectly with the red door and the tiny fragment of red in the pattern. 

The four images above are ones that i was most happy with, I like the way that the model is moving but also the way I have managed to capture the movement without blurring the garments. It adds character to the images and catches an essence of reality which i think is good when promoting clothing because it allows real people to see the clothing in action and to visualise it from a realistic perspective.
