Fashion Research 12

Here I did a Google search for clothes and models who looked like insects:

I wonder if this was shot in total darkness and with the flash firing twice with the model in a slightly different position (the the camera could have been carefully moved) or if it has been retouched well.

I love how tiny the model looks. She looks powerful, protective and provoked. She is hunched down but still has a strong personality to her. It looks that the photograph was taken next to a wall, but with minimal shadow on the wall itself. She is well lit from above and from the right, the shadows are very soft though, and only really her left eye is slightly darker than the right. I think this fits well with the concept of garments inspired by insects.

In this photograph the model looks like a dark shiny snake coiling up a pillar. She looks dangerous and poised to pounce because she is sitting upright with her arms bent at her sides.

Here I searched for insects to see the body positions they can have, when I photographed the models I thought about what insects can do:

This looks so much like a dress, it is uncanny. The lower half of its body is lifted outwards and creates beauty in the insect as the colours are shown off.

The curve in the body of this caterpillar is interesting and lets the eye fall away from the image naturally, the leaf pulls your eye towards the head of the caterpillar.

This photograph really does look like something you could see in vogue, the position of the body and camera, and the insect as an object within the picture has a large style that looks amazing when viewed large.
