Final Costume Photographs

I have completed two costumes for my Final Major Project and had lots of fun photographing them today with the help of Dann Hill and Poppy French

High Priestess Finished Costume

I helped Jak out with three shoots on wednesday this week, which included dressing model Erica in the High Priestess costume I had made for the shoot. I feel that it all went very well despite the push for time. Jak and I were both pleased with the way the costume turned out :)

Lady Gaga - The Monster Ball

Its actually going to be quite hard to blog about my experience at the monster ball as it was pretty indescribable. It was everything i expected from Gaga and more. The concept was genius and the set and costumes were ........ just so gaga!! I am officialy a little monster. Didn't get as many pictures as I would have liked as i was crying shaking hyperventalating and dancing all at the same time so photography was a bit of a challenge.

Nosferatu

I watched Nosferatu today as a start to my methodological research. It is a 1920's german expressionist unauthroised adaptation of Stoker's Dracula. I enjoyed the character of Count Orlok (vampire). I feel that he wasnt overdone, he is just the essence of vampire. All he wants is blood and thats it, so good for him. Nothing too complicated and a classic costume. The eyes and fingernails do it for me. But as for the film itself... i fell asleep for half an hour...

I am helping Jak Flash with a costume for his Tarot card photographs for The Major Arcana art as photography Exhibiton. We have been working on The High Priestess this week and Jak is due to shoot next tuesday. We got together today to discuss the work I had done so far and make any changes needed. All went really well (apart from me bashing the mannequin's hand into a door and the fingers dropping off.....UHU and masking tape to the rescue! They will never know!!)

TO DO:

• More thread and beading added to head dress
• Make head piece again - more like isis/bull horns - with wire/paper mache
  
  

Fancy Em

I do fancy dress. I like to create alter ego's (such as techno pirate and bass wolf) which go out and dance, rave, skank and generally feel beats. And i do see it as a form of costume design/costume sourcing as I very rarely ever spend money on my creations. I dive into my drawers and closet and maybe spend some time with my singer and become a unique character. One night only.
