CONCEPT

The concept has taken a while to develop, I knew what i wanted to say in my head but i was finding it hard to show the concept within the images so it would make sense.

I wanted to show the idea of 'faded glamour' the best way i thought was to use imagery that would reflect to a doll, because we all know that toys are given to us new and shiny, they are cared for but as we play with them they get shabby and less shiny and new, until eventually the toy is never played with and gets discarded.

How i will show this concept is though a number of images, the 'doll' (who will be human) is in a doll house. The first image will be as if the doll is placed really carefully, Second image will be the doll in the bath hair wet (this will hopefully draw upon when you get bored of the barbie finding more interesting things to do with the doll other then keeping it nice and tidy, for example putting it in water and cutting the hair) The next image would be as if the doll has just been thrown in the doll house. Then the one after will be of the doll in the basement in storage. I was thinking of a finial image, to suggest that the doll has washed away down a river.

Wild Fox



I aways have to look at the Wild Fox shoots every season, there always really interesting how they mix casual with dressy and over the top to sell their clothing!
Each shoot is on a theme and if you look at the image from start to finnish they tell a story, which is what i really would like to do in my images. This photo also happens to have the set i want for my shoot!
