Copy of the brief; • Brief.
• ·∙ The Photographers’ Gallery is the prime gallery for contemporary photography in London. Having closed for refurbishment it is planning a launch exhibiBon for the re-‐opening in January 2012. The theme of the exhibiBon is ‘Street Fashion in Britain’. You have been invited to submit 3 fashion portraits of real people photographed in urban locaBons. The gallery are looking for photographs that represent the original and invenBve approach of the BriBsh public to fashion. You can either search the streets for models or take your own models to appropriate locaBons.
1st wriQen arBst analysis;
• ‘Un8tled Photograph’ • The date this photograph was taken is 15th April 2010. • The name of the photographer is Akif Hakan Celebi. • The genre of this photograph is fashion. • -‐I think because Akif Hakan Celebi is a fashion photographer she
would think about all the different fashion in the world and how culture could be a big impact of fashion. I think she was influenced to take this photograph on the streets because of the background of this photograph. I think the background is quite important because of the colours and also at the fact its a wall. Backgrounds always stand out in photographs and I think the arBst gave thought to the locaBon before taking the photograph. Also the wall has graffiB which explains some streets well. The lighBng in this photograph goes from being dark on the leY hand side to going to brighter colours on the right. I think the arBst was influenced to have this woman as the model and what she wears because it puts some colour into the way the street is dark and gloom.
1st wriQen analysis cont.. -‐I think the imagery in this photograph could be symbolic of the photographers emoBons because it could show what the photographer feels about street fashion. I think the model in this photograph wouldn’t normally match the locaBon but i think this photograph works well together. The photographers emoBons could also match into how the photographer feels about a parBcular issue. The imagery in this photograph, being the wall, could be symbolic to how the photograph feels about the streets and graffiB. It could be that she thinks its a good thing and that graffiB is good art (which links with fashion photography) which could be the reason for the locaBon of this photograph. Or on the other hand it could be that she finds this an issue and doesn’t agree with ‘street’ being a fashion, this could be why she chose to have this model at this locaBon to show it is unique and different and you wouldn’t normally see this presentaBon of the woman on streets like the locaBon.

EvaluaBon of iniBal set of photographs;
• These are my edited photographs from my iniBal set of photographs. I chose these photographs to edit because i thought that these photographs had the strongest backgrounds and my brief was street fashion in Britain. I straight away thought of a locaBon that would fit this brief well. My models against the arBsBc/graffiB walls was also linked to my arBst number 1. I also liked what my models were wearing in these shots as they weren’t boring and stood out against the backgrounds. I thought alot about colours and things that are bold and would stand out such as the models lipsBck and shoes (doc marBns). I also made sure that the models didnt have the same appearance at every locaBon as this would be very boring. I also edited some of these photographs into black and white as i thought it suited some of the locaBon/backgrounds. The other edits i made bold and colourful to make the edits different and to also see the art well in the backgrounds.
2nd wriQen arBst analysis;
‘Triptychs of Strangers’ #5 The way to be honest Parisian, Montmartre.’ The date this photograph was taken is February 19,2011. The name of the photographer is Adde Adesokan. The genre of this photograph is Street Fashion.
2nd wriQen arBst analysis cont.. -‐I think that Adde Adesokan was influenced to take this photograph because it shows peoples different personalitys. This one photograph is actually three different shots put into one photograph. I think the main different body parts of a person influenced the photographer to make up these series of photographs which he called ‘Triptychs of Strangers’. I also think the photographer was influenced to take this photograph because its unique, not many street fashion photographs would take a variety of different shots to put them onto one main photograph. I think somebodys image, dress sense and the items they have, make these photographs different. Many of the photographers other photographs are black and white so i think he was then influenced to make his next one colour. This makes this photograph stand out.
2nd wriQen arBst analysis cont.. I think the photographer really thought about the importance of peoples beliefs,norms and values, the different types of personaliBes, skin colour and dress sense some people have. I think this is why the photographer photographed many different people who dont look the same. I also think that Adde Adesokan is giving a message to the audience about how you can shoot different parts of peoples bodies and can put them together to make a whole picture which is quite interesBng because its this idea of gecng mini pictures and pucng them together as one. I think the photographer was interested in all the different personaliBes of someone and that is why he photographed random people that he only just met.

EvaluaBon of developmental set of photographs; These are my edited,developmental set of photographs. These photographs are linked to my arBst number 2, as he took photographs of peoples bodys and made them into one whole photograph so this is what I did with mine. I liked the idea of this as its different then any other ordinary shots and i also liked my arBsts theory on this. He wouldnt know the people who he has shot he would just like what they would be wearing or what their personality is like. These set of photographs are developed because I used different peoples clothing and mixed them up into one. They are also developed because in my first set of iniBal photographs I knew my models. In these developmental set i didnt know some of the people. I would just use them for my shots by what their personal image is like or what their clothing is like.
EvaluaBon of developmental photographs cont..
• I also wanted to make it abit different from what the arBst would do. He would do it verBcally, so this then gave me an idea to when coming to do mine i should do it diagonally or even make it look like the body parts are from the same person by matching up the neck line etc (even though none of these photographs are from the same person). I also edited them depending on what the person in the shot looked like. For example the photograph number 1, the person who’s head is in this photograph had long dark hair and bright purple lipsBck so i thought it would be good to keep this photo quite natural, but having a darkish background but with some paleness to the face. This is why on the middle part of somebodys body on the same shot (number 1) i edited this to be quite exposed as it would make the body colours of both these people different.
Final Outcomes;
Final Outcomes;
Final outcomes evaluaBon
I chose these for my final outcome because I really enjoyed working with these models and the locaBon that I did. We all worked really well together and I think it was a success, I got most of the shots I was looking for. I really liked the models image on the day and these 3 were my favourite photographs out of the whole project.
