‘truth or tales’
i’m a photographer
styling is painting with clothes
This project was where i fell in love with styling. as a huge fan of performance and theatre i understand and am empowered by the impact of costume.
when styling this series, i saw the subjects for as characters rather than models. styling to display their characteristics and to bring their own personal narratives to life completely transforming the way i view styling from that moment.
styling is how you tell the story from a series of objects, clothes and props. dressing a photoshoot is like painting a canvas. the items have to all be aligned in the story they tell individually and together to result in a ‘successful’ image.
whether the subjects are living or ojects, real or imagined i now view styling as visualising and creating characters for any and all work.
I LOVE BEING BEHIND THE LENS, CAPTURING VISUALS THAT BRING MY IMAGINATION, CONCEPTS, VISIONS TO LIFE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE.
I LOVE EVERYTHING FROM PREPARING A SET, TO STYLING EVERY ASPECT OF THE MODEL, CASTING, DESIGNING HAIR AND MAKEUP, USING LIGHTING TO ADJUST THE ENTIRE ENVIRONMENT AND CREATE ATMOSPHERES, FRAMING SHOTS, AND EVEN POST PRODUCTION SELECTIONS AND EDITS.
