We went to the library and completed the final images. The final images we chose were a combination of all of our ideas built upon. Jessica edited and created the first rake image and magazine layout to open our three images. Then Beckie edited the fire and snow images and put them together with the help of Jessica. Sandy also helped to recommend ideas to add in to our final ideas.

We chose these final images because we felt that they not only walked you through the seasons from October to December but that they also all linked very well together. 

Our first image is portraying Autumn Is the opener page and the image displaying the rake dragging along the leaves and the underwear with it. To create this image and idea we thought to ourselves what most represents October (excluding Halloween) So we came to the conclusion of the Crisp leaves and them all being piled up on the streets. The idea of the rake came later when we thought it would be a good idea for the under wear to be raked up along with the leaves. When we edited this image we found that when the image was reflected it looked a hundred times better. We added a contrast and darkened the edges, keeping a highlighted centre and saturation to the leaves. We added the writing to left page in the blank spaces and the product details in the top right corner. 

Our second image is portraying November, specifically bonfire night. We chose to recreate a bonfire in order to carry off the month of November and to ensure that our images flowed well with each other. When we first set up the set on the day of the shoot it was incredibly hard to keep it all stable while the underwear was put on to it. But in the end we think we got the positioning right. When it came to editing, We decided that the image needed to be darkened around the top especially to give it that 'night time' feel. Then we lit up the bonfire area itself and added a light fire effect (done by beckie.) 

Our third image is portraying December/Winter. We wanted this image to be cool and crisp and in stark contrast to the warmer autumnal images. But the images still flow together with the use of the leaves under the snow. Almost like a leafs life cycle. This image turned out really beautiful, the snow looked a lot less fake when the photos were uploaded and edited. We cooled the image adding a slight blue tint, a contrast and some darker shadows to try and get the white underwear to stand out. This one we decided to create a double page spread as it worked best with the way we left the space at the side.

I just wanted to post these images so you could see our products and just a few little messing around images to spark some inspiration.

Here are a few images of previous inspiration I found whilst on instagram and also whilst looking around town. I saw this shop and thought some of the lingerie was quirky and intriguing and would look nice for our shoot. I also saw these pieces on instagram which I thought were incredibly intriguing and quirky however in the end we opted for different lingerie which we felt fitted more with the WGSN earthy feel and enhanced the overall effect of our A/W shoot.

Our chosen style of editorial and magazine is going to be ASOS as we feel they are very fun and quirky with their shoots. They sell to people our age and their all high-street priced products. 

Their images are really interesting and we feel their style not only suits the underwear and ideas we have but it suits our individual personalities too . 

I have a few copies of the magazine myself to we can get a closer look into the editorials that we will be duplicating the layout of for our own images, They have quite creative fonts and they're all very different for each editorial so we will have to look carefully for the one that we want to use for ours, they also have a range of different layouts and overall styles which leaves options for us very open but we need to scan through the magazines to find something that fits our final photos the best. 

However I like how we can keep our options open with this magazine, we have to option to really find something that works well if we look hard enough.

When researching further in to still life image of lingerie type clothing I particularly liked the use of natural light in shots taken by windows. I love the look of the light from the window filtering through the delicate pieces of underwear really drawing attention to how fragile and beautiful they look. I would really like to try and take a shot like this for our final shoot. 

Another way I particularly liked still images of lingerie was when a white background was used, whether that be white wood or just plain white, with light coming in from the side highlighting each part of the lingerie; very much like the bottom right image.

When delving more into the still life world of lingerie I stumbled across this helpful website that includes images of lingerie photographed in still life. I comprised the images in illustrator and posted them here for extra inspiration.
