project 1a

i went to the Lowry and saw an exhibition by Nadav Kander 

"the collaboration between the photographer & subject is essential"

if only Morrisey if only

did he photograph Morrisey like this because as a person he is difficult to grasp....?

did he photograph Lili Allen in the blue because of her state of mind?

Alli and i went through the images i had taken and made some notes about what we liked and didn't like and how they could be improved..
i also took some more shots using a dramatic art filter on my olympus epl2..Allison likes them a lot but i think they look like animation she isn't wearing any make-up!.. and there's she's a plug switch which should not be there...

she's the client i suppose

i had a look on the internet at fashion photography and i read this  brief but full of great images and and easy read 

Alison also brought this book for us both to read through and see what we liked and what could be achieved 

here is a copy of a model release form which i will give to Holly's parents
