Fashion Photo Disaster!
I have created a fashion photography disaster. This idea came to my head because I am into fashion design and photography. I wanted to create something that could maybe even be funny. The idea of it being a "disaster is that you are trying to design the perfect dress for an advent but you cannot decide so it eventually became a "Fashion Photo Disaster". The sketchbook in the center has 4 different dresses that I have designed. I am an amateur at both photography and fashion design but I knew I could put together a beautiful photo for this contest.
Supplies
The supplies that I used for this photo were:
- newspaper
- sketchbook
- scissors
- cut up fabric
- measuring tape
- buttons
- pin
- necklaces
- doll shoes
- thread
- pencil
- elastic band
- rotary cutter
- needle threader
Of course if you would like to recreate this photo you could use more or less items also. Everything is your choice.
Draw the Dresses
What I did first was draw and design the 4 dresses shown in the photo. It did not need to be anything super crazy being called a "disaster". I then put all of the few word questions around all of the models to give it a more vibrant look.
Add Newspaper and "props"
I laid around 5 pieces of newspaper on the floor as my background for the photo. I then put my sketchbook in the middle of the newspaper and laid fabrics, and other sewing tools on the sketchbook and around. I even added a pencil to show that they were drawings.
Take the Photo
I finally took the photo of it all laid out. Now ready to edit.
Adding the Perfect Filter
I added a filter called "warm" to the photo. I just used an app on my phone for all of the editing.
Adjust Brightness and Contrast
I adjusted the brightness on the photo by -10 and adjusted the contrast by -20.
Add Dark on the Outside
I next added a filter called "vignette" that darkened the edges of the photo.
Add "grain"
Then I added "grain'' to the photo which made the photo look like it has well grains on it.
Glitch
The last edit I did was add a very small glitch.
Final Product
This is the final product after editing. I think it turned out really well.
