1. This image was a choice of many for my fashion
spread as I believe the low angle from out of focus
grass looks very professional as the main subject of
the model is in focus entirely. However, the idea of a
fashion spread is to sell the clothing and I do not
believe this image does that as the tops logo is
covered by the arm, the angle of the image doesn’t
show much of jeans and the shoes barely fit in the
image therefore it wouldn’t be appropriate for a
fashion spread and would be more suited to a main
image on a cover.
2. This angle of this image is much more appropriate as
the jeans are shown much more and the logo on the
top is not covered, however, unfortunately, the trainers
are not in focus and consequently the whole image
does not look as good. Also, I was trying to represent a
night time summer theme, and I do not believe this
image does that very well due to very dark background.
3. This photo was an option for my fashion spread as
believe the lighting fits fairly well as I used the ISO
settings to ensure the shot looked as summery as
possible, the model is entirely in focus and the
trainers and top are very clear to see, however, the
jeans are not and as previously mentioned the
whole point of fashion spreads are to show the
clothing and I do not believe this understand is
shown via this image.
4. Of all the images, I believe the angle on this image is the
most appropriate and looks the best when considering
the purpose of the fashion spread. All the clothing of
which the model is wearing is shown perfectly, with the
top, jeans and trainers all being in focus, however, the
expectation of which this does not meet is the idea of
the image representing summer. As previously
mentioned, I intended for this to be a night summer
theme, therefore it was supposed to be dark, however,
this image is simply too dark and consequently does not
represent the theme of summer what so ever.
5. This is the only image of which I took that was landscape, and this is one of the many
reasons that I chose this image to be the fashion spread photograph. I believe a
landscape shot suits the genre and the shot of which I wanted to achieve better as it
is hard to represent summer when it is dark, therefore a landscape shot can purely
focus on the mise en scene that I placed instead of the background. In order to
represent summer, I made the ISO as high as possible and will up the brightness
when putting this on Photoshop, however other than that, the clothing is shown very
well and the theme is represent via the clothing and mise en scene.
