Parallel Studio Practice

Here is a still life I have set up in my mock home photography studio. I have recreated a still life and made it a modern still life using fashion items to represent my studio theme. As I said in a previous blog post: 

 For my essay this year I wrote about the collaboration between artists and fashion. It was really infesting to write and I learned a lot about the collaborations through out the years and how it has changed the way we look at fashion. Fashion is now being looked at as an art form. I want to take this idea and do a photography piece out of it. My idea is to create a still life inspired by the still life's artists would paint. Instead of using fruit, skulls etc... I am going to use fashion pieces like bags, shoes, fashions magazines etc... I am going to photograph them and edit them in a way to make them mimic the look of a still life painting. 

These photo's are un-edited and I will re-fine them in photoshop and do a new blog post in the coming days showing my final product. This is a project that is a work in progress. As the photography studio in college was unfortunately far to difficult to book even with weeks notice I was forced to set up my own studio at home. I hope to take more pictures in a proper photography studio and print proper digital prints as a result.
