Wrapped!
After a very frantic week of last minute decisions, prop/model sourcing and concept finalisation, we proceeded to go ahead with the main shoot on friday.
Having shot in the very same location a week before for a 4th year Fashion & Brand student, I was slightly skeptical about how our shoot would go (the pictures I took in this room the week before were not to my liking whatsoever). But God was on our side, and the amazing weather worked WONDERS for the natural lighting in the room, and gave the photos an absolutely incredible finish that couldn’t even be recreated in a studio. Gavin and I had sourced a flashgun/softbox to use as fill light but we were both pleasently surprised that there was no need for it whatsoever during the whole shoot due to the amazing weather.
However, although the great weather worked wonders for our actual images, it created a VERY horrible and uncomfortable shooting environment, temperatures were soaring and what with the room being quite small, the 7 of us (group and 3 models) certainly felt the intensity of the heat during the 8 hours we were shooting…
I think I can safely speak for all of us when I say that once again, we are over the moon with the outcome of the shoot and have exceeded our expectations with this brief.
Now we just need to group together, slim down the final selection and get working on the layout!
