I have decided on my final twelve images - there are three stories and I have selected my favourite images from each story. The themes are Burlesque inspired by Paulo Kudacki, Fashion looking at the influence of Lara Jade and finally my engagement shoot looking at portrait photographer Brett Harkness and Lynsey Thompson who won Contemporary wedding photographer of the year 2009. Each theme touches on areas of interest.
I will start with images taken of the engagement shoot - mostly edited to black and white for a contemporary feel but I have kept one in colour to emulate warmth and love. I have called the series Together.
The Groom (Andy)- he sits thinking about his forthcoming wedding which brings a smile to his face. What lies ahead - fun times. I took individual shots then couple shots to show their coming together.
Bride to be (Lisa) - this image for me captures the brides joy and excitement as she plans her wedding - the light creates a sparkle around her as she looks forward to her future.
Love and happiness - I've called this image for what it portrays love. I love how the light reflects of the back of the bride to be and the look in their faces of happiness. There faces touching and their body embrace symbolising togetherness.
Anticipation - Here I think the couple look as if they are thinking about their plans for their wedding - the groom in particular possible thinking about his speech.
Love - the bride adoringly gazes into her beloveds eyes. This image portrays adoration and love, which is why I have kept it in colour and have raised the tones to reflect the warm and tingly feeling you feel inside when you are simply in love.
The Gaze - the model calmly gazes from under her arm, what is she thinking? Is she trying to hide?
Dream State - I feel the model looks as if she is day dreaming as she glances into the distance.
Crouching - the model is in a gentle crouching position, she peeks from behind her hair on her face - looking directly towards the voyeur.
Stare - the model stares directly out to the voyeur - what is she thinking -is she unhappy?
Contrast - Named in relation to the contrasting stripes to the plain background. The horizontal lines cocoon the models body shape - creating an hour glass silhouette.
Before the Show - for me this image captures the Burlesque dancer adding the final touches to her costume prior to her performance, making sure her outfit is styled and in place to dazzle her audience with her beauty.
