Fashion Shoot

Describe: I see a guy, as our model, dressed in a short red dress with flowery patterns on it and frilly sleeves. He is also wearing make-up. The model is close-up to the camera and the background is black. This photo is figurative because we used a person as our main subject.

Analyze: The composition of the photo is simple, the guy is centered in the photo. The background goes from lighter to darker, but doesn't take away from the main subject. Shapes include roundish shapes in the body and sleeves and lines for the outline of the dress and on the dress. The tones for the first photo in black-and-white have both bold blacks and whites in it. The colored photo has black and red tones, both light and dark. Both photos are in focus and this was done intentionally.

Interpret: The assignment was to capture a fashion shoot and create a meaning behind it. We chose to use a guy as our model and have him dress up in drag. We thought it would be really different then any normal fashion shoot so that's why we chose it. Normally when you think of fashion shoots and models, you think of beautiful women in stunning fancy dresses, but not in this case. I think both photos have the same amount of lightness and darkness in them. These photos were taken indoors.

Judge: I feel like our work was successful in a way that the colors and tones were percise and clear. The background, starting from left to right, gradually becomes darker. I also like how the photos were clear and the main person was centered. Not too much was going on in the photo. Our models' expression was mostly momotone. He looks irritated, ans I'm not sure if that was a good thing or bad for him to have that expresstion for this photo shoot. But overall, the photos were great.
