Widow Test Shoot

So...a lot of tweaks still to make but here are a few of the best images from our test shoot for our creative styling project. We will be definitely be using a second board, behind the model, as just the one wasn't enough, all the purpose of a test shoot right. I can give away the "secret" concept now. Hoping you guys got the general idea anyway, but our images will represent the story and moods of seven different widows. We used specific garments and styling which we feel would represent these different widows feelings;

Styling: Natalie Atterbury and Sarah Jaban

Model: Megan Jones

Photographer: Rachel Abraham

The Widows

Hello lovely people. Inspiration and motivation is finally back in my life again, after a pretty lazy summer. Picture lots of..... black, lace, layers of fabric and elongated lines, and you pretty much have the concept for my styling project at university. So far, being totally honest, it has been a pretty amazing project, nevertheless a lot of research but the practical side is damn exciting. The test shoot was literally done the other day, hopefully you can imagine the narrative which goes with it (Not going to give the secret away just yet)! There are quite a few tweaks to be made, before the final shoot, but I'm more than happy with this as a starting point. A dark, solemn and quite depressing shoot which, surprisingly, was fun and interesting;

theatrical; exaggerated and affected in manner or behaviour; histrionic
