Knife Photoshoot. Real World Studios

Last year in January i styled a photoshoot for a local Bath band called 'Knife' at Real World Studios in Box ...it was the first thing that i have properly 'styled' and it was very fun...unfortunately i did not have any cloth sponsors so i used all of my own clothes which was fine but slightly inhibited the range of 'looks' that we could explore. Despite this i think there were a few successful photos in the outcome which was the most important thing...!

Final Collection Line-up

Below are two different versions of my final collection line-up, here you can see how i have used the different prints and laser cutting...

More Final Collection Prints..

Here are a few other examples of the prints i have used in my final collection, i have used the one below..

I did not end up using this one as it didnt fit with the rest of them...
I have also used this one below...
And lastly i have used this one in two different scales...

Final Collection Print

This was one of the first versions of my final collection print...firstly i painted a simple A3 picture of window frames going from large to small with some colour behind...from there i scanned the image in and started playing around with it and cutting out different elements...

Here is one of the later versions of my print that i have actually ended up using as a final print (but in repeat)

Here is what the print looks like when its repeated...

F.A.D Print Continued

Here are two more prints that i designed for the 'Escape' competition...in these two you can see my concept of the soul 'escaping' more clearly. These are both printed onto silk..

Here is the original drawing printed onto silk...not that clear but you get the gist!

F.A.D Competition - Escape

This was a print that i designed for the FAD competition we did this year...the brief was 'Escape' and we were allowed to interpret this however we wanted. I chose to call my brief 'Escape to Death' ..although slightly morose i thought it was an interesting angle to approach dying from. (a friend had dyed shortly before and so it was a big question for me at the time)

So my concept was that when you dye the soul escapes through the mouth and slowly leaves the body...and when you dye you see all these swirling colours, as if they are 'the soul' ..so that is what the print below is inspired by...

Here i have duplicated the initial print and made it into a repeat...my sample is slightly wrinkled!

Here is a painting that i did the other day, it wasn't really supposed to be anything work related but i think i might try and slip it into my portfolio somewhere! The painting is for you to interpret however you wish!

Burberry Competition

After another long time, i have finally managed to add a couple more bits of work, so here are two final pages that were submitted for the Burberry Competition...the brief was to be inspired by the William Orpen painting 'An Onlooker in France,' so we could be inspired by anything from that starting point...as long as it still fitted mainly to the 'Burberry' look of course!
