STUDIO PHOTOSHOOT: GARMENTS

I booked out the photography studio to shoot my garments. I think these photographs work well as an initial set of photographs, they show off the detail and overall style of the garments, I would however, like to do a second set of more stylized photographs out of the studio - where more thought goes into the setting and positions / poses of the models, which I hadn't properly planned for this first shoot.

I had help from of a couple of photographers to set up the lighting in the studio and frame the images. The main focus of this first set with Ibby, was the woven bullet-proof vest inspired piece. The trousers were sort of lost behind the prominent vest. For a next shoot, I would like to show the trousers more, if styled with military-type boots, they would become a more noticeable piece, also if the camera angle was lowered or adjusted looking up.

The second set with Joe, showed off the jumpsuit / overalls over the dyed-muslin top, we tried different angles to present the garments and the wire, riot-mask-inspired visor. The lighting was also adjusted part-way through to back-light the model. 

The third set were taken to capture the potential for the motion of woven vest. The camera was set to a lower shutter speed, and Ibby turned on the spot to move the tied tassels on the vest. I like the blurry, surreal effect of this last set of images.
