At last. A project comes to an end, the light at the end of the tunnel-and it’s kinda sad that I just don’t have the same enthusiasm towards each collection by the end of it as I do at the beginning. That moment of inspiration, the sketching of the outfits, what elements really shape the collection in my mind, thats where the most fun lies! I know I should be on cloud nine seeing a month of work realized, but I just haven’t got it in me. I'm already thinking of the next project halfway through the current one.
The set turned out beautifully, though it would be been much more impressive on a larger scale. I’ve gotta find some kinda massive crate or box, something that to scale would be the ideal photo studio for my girls. On the bright side, the cracks in the black marble of the archway really stand out in the picture, and I’m planning to really put that checkered floor to good use in the near future. Also I’m considering some kinda lightning equipment for the future, though the long shadows do give the photos more edge compared to your average Valentine’s card.
In most shots, the girls lounging in the chair came out the strongest. I made tiny little valentine cards, lying on the floor as if tossed aside carelessly, and I got some tiny fabric trim roses that scattered around looked perfect for this scale, like real flowers scattered around the place.
Overall, Blanca’s shoot came out the strongest. The off centre position of her in the chair, the fact that the flowers are distinctive, the tiny valentines truly look as if they’ve been thrown aside, and the outfit was always the best of the whole collection. So it’s great to know I’ve got at least one Valentine card in my portfolio now.
Well, I’m glad this project has come to an end-especially since I already have my next project in mind! Details to come-stay tuned!
