These are some of the garments that I have created and then put in my photoshoot and then I photoshoped them.
The Cottingley Fairies appear in a series of five photographs taken by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths, two young cousins who lived in Cottingley, near Bradford in England. In 1917, when the first two photographs were taken, Elsie was 16 years old and Frances was 10. Public reaction was mixed; some accepted that the images were genuine, but others believed they had been faked. In the early 1980s, both girls admitted that the photographs were faked using cardboard cutouts of fairies copied from a popular children's book of the time. Yet Frances continued to claim that the fifth and final photograph was genuine.
So do u believe fairies are real ? I'm not quite sure but i would like to think that they are :)
For this Modern Masterpeices Project I have been asked as a junior fashion stylist and designer to produce a photo shoot for my new collection based around ''Art Masterpeices''. I have chosen to do something based around the theme of victorian fairy paintings.I have chosen the photo 'midsommers eve' as my inspiration and for the photo shoot I will have to modernise the picture I have chosen to create the modern twist.I will have to create 2 A2 moodboards, a sketchbook/ journal, the photo shoot of my garment and modernised scene, a 10 minute powerpoint presentation and an editorial piece about my blog. Im really looking forward to this project because I feel it is very different from any project that I have done so far and I get the oppurtunity to do a photo shoot of my garment.
