Evaluation
When developing my Journey, I visited a number of different rural and urban locations such as the forest, a seaside town and a main city - Rome. In the last shoot I did, I managed to take some images in the street style type of work that I looked at heavily in my research log and in my final photographers. On finding out about London Fashion Week, I decided to take a trip to London and photograph street style. This was a completely new experience for me, as I am so used to taking portraits of people in a studio where I get to decide how the models position themselves and the way the lights are positioned to suit their needs. Therefore, when I went to LFW, I was sceptical as to how I was going to take such images. When I arrived, I found it really comfortable and I was confident in asking the models to step to one side and have their pictures taken. In the end, I photographed around 30 different models, and decided to take a portrait, a full body shot and a picture of their shoes. This enabled me to have some creativity and also gave me more images than just the portrait shots which would conform too similarly to my previous unit. As a result of going to LFW, I have now found a new hobby in going to such fashion shows and taking images of a range of different models. It was my favourite shoot I have ever done in photography, and as a result I got a range of different images that I love, but also many that conform to the street style era of photography. To incorporate the culture aspect of the Journey unit, with each model I photographed I asked them where they were from and what clothing they were wearing. This allowed me to see the spread of culture across the globe, and opened my eyes to how diverse London is. Overall, I feel like if I had the choice to start a new personal project - I would do so in the form of Street Style photography as not only did I get some good images, but I also had a good time and therefore took pride in my work.
