Summer's got it going on

For the next few posts, Courage and Candy will be subtly stealing the shine, because hey, they've got new stock, and it's waiting for you.

Firstly, for my female model, I paired a crop corset striped top with a high waisted ripped short. I added a black chiffon top, pairing it with some timeless aviators. For my male model, I went simple – blue grey jeans and a blue check top.

This semi-shoot was the first time I used a male model as well. The sun was shining high, the sugar levels was running low, and time was definitely not on my good side. Even with these factors, I’m more than happy with we've accomplished.

More importantly, Courage and Candy stocked up on new clothing! Is this all the more reason to pay them a visit? I think YES.

Photography Portraits

For my photography project this term, our objective was plainly, portrait shots. About four or five posts ago, I have written of this, yet those images were the ones I took with my digital camera. These pictures were taken with my film camera. After development, I took my film to a camera shop that could put my pictures on a disk. Thus, I share it with you :D

These images are more intimate, and it creates the feeling that you want to know more of the subject or what she’s hiding. The shadows on my model were created with different objects such as metal structures, plastic structures, materials, lace tops, and a glass bowl.

The objective was of course to create shadows on my model’s face. It creates a feminine and soft atmosphere. Overall I love these images! Plus what makes this more difficult, is the fact that you only get to take the photo once, since it’s a film camera and all.

Oh! You pretty things.

The best things in life are the unexpected – especially when they make great photos.

I shot the following pictures with Ashley de Lange as my model and Natasha Smit as my assistant, to create these crazy pictures. The objective was to shoot portrait shots. Dressed and styled in an upper-class manner, Ashley posed dramatically and outrageously whilst being thrown with different household materials from flying strawberries, streamers, a bag of flour and buckets of water. It was incredibly fun!

I take photography as a subject at school, and our semester’s project was to photograph portrait shots, with film camera. I couldn't decide between two ideas, so I did both. I had too little film on my camera to take the amount of pictures I wanted to take, thus the digital camera came in handy, and voila!

I’d like to share these amazing images with you, as they classify with fashion as well as art.

Elizabeth Galloway Fashion Show

The Elizabeth Galloway 3rd years' Fashion Show.

A night of fashion, taste and style.

A night of something new, fresh and bold.

A night of showcasing some of South Africa's greatest upcoming talents.

The room was filled with guests from all over, blasting music, a white runway, and talented designers. The third years' Fashion Show at the Protea Hotel, Techno Park, in Stellenbosch occurred on the 20th June. The evening went smoothly, with carefully chosen music that matched each student's collection. The students made three outfits that followed a specific theme that they had chosen themselves. Some of the finest jackets, pants, dresses, shirts, etc. had walked that runway that evening. It was spectacular to watch.

My trusty camera came handy, and I shot as many photos from the second row, as I could. I think the woman in front of me became irritated, I mean I would too, if there was a camera gawking at the side of my head!
