New beginning...

I am becoming obsessed with fashion photography, tableau vivants and displays. This all happened over the summer when I realised I want to be a Visual Merchandiser. Now my work is becoming a bit more chaotic, compared to my colour samples. Here are some pictures which have inspired me so far...

The Blues. The Drawings. The Research.

The Blues. The Work.

I am beginning to get a grasp of what I am wanting to do. In my sketchbooks I keep writing "objects organised by colour', 'finding colour' and 'contained and organised'. Right now I am trying to determine what of my work is 'work' and what is reasearch and drawings. With regards to my drawings I believe the colour and layout are the key elements. The 'work' is still hard to distinguish!

I hate circles, but love David Batchelor/LaChapelle

Damien Hirst - Amodiaquin

I have recently discovered the Scottish artist David Batchelor. I first saw his book when I was interning at the Talbot Rice and kept on meaning to buy it! However, for now these photographs will suffice.





I have also just been introduced to the American photographer/advertiser David LaChapelle. His fashion photography and portraits of celebrities are eccentric and bizarre.








I remember this advert being on the television. I thought it was so well put together and clever.
