NEW POSTS CLOSED

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all your contributions to the blog! It looks FANTASTIC!

Please fix any posts that didn't count before Monday at midnight, that is the FINAL opportunity for fixing posts that do not fit the brief.  I have seen all the posts, and made comments below the ones that don't fulfill the brief.

For those of you who haven't posted, or didn't post all three, unfortunately the opportunity to make new posts is over as of last night at midnight - I gave you TONS of warning, so....

If you still feel like posting anything, please feel free.  You can continue to use the blog as long as you like.  I will not be marking it anymore, except for fixes done by Monday at midnight.

Its been a real pleasure to teach you all this term.  You folks are a great bunch and have TONS of potential as fashion communicators.  Good luck with your careers, and if there is any way that I can help you, support you, lend words of wisdom, whatever, please e-mail me!  I'm graduating this year, but I am hoping to be teaching next year, so I will see you around. ;)

Take care!

Killing (it) Softly

f-stop 5.6

ISO 400

shutter speed 1/160

A selection of photos from the second shoot Marjory and I did in the semester that were not used in the final submission. These are some of my favourite shots from the session. I edited all images in Photoshop, using colour filters and lens flare to try out the different 'moods' that this sort of editing implies. I decided to go with a softer colour scheme to contrast with the strength of the poses and styling.

The MAGICAL Oz.

My good friend Ostwald in second year design created these lovely masterpieces. We decided to have a photoshoot in places that would really show off the beauty of the pieces. For his bright red evening wear  dress we decided to shoot in front of beautiful cherry blossom trees. For his geometrical jacket we located in front of the ROM to really show off the lines and colours of the piece. 

left overs from a productive week

 

A long week of roaming old shops and discovering places i've never been before.  First photos is of my friends bracelets when we went to an event in the evening [f 1.4 1/30]  Second photo was taken in a shop window [f 8, 1/500.  The Third photo was from the same shoppe, a men's outfit that looked pretty spiffy [f 5.6, 1/30]

Suburbia Street Style

Late night street style of Queen’s student Alex Velickovic. 

All shots were taking at a 3.5 aperature and an iso of 800 to allow the most light in as possible.

Flash was used to add effect.

Jacket: Zara

Necklace: Aldo

LUCID

This year, watching LUCID was like a being in a dream sequence that shuffled back and forth between delirium and reality. It was full of storytelling, feathers, transparency, leather, shapes, all with a coolness and elegance factor to each collection. It gets me excited to know I'll be part of all this madness next year! All images were taken in auto setting.

FLASH

Some items I picked up the other day. I shot on manual setting with an external flash (speed flash 600, Nikon) ISO 200, F 8, and the shutter was 125. Enjoy!
