CAPTURING REALITY SPLIT MODEL UPDATE

My personal opinion is that the images have been poorly printed and this greatly impacted the way I felt about this exhibition, the shots were clearly intended to be sharp, dynamic images so I felt that there was a quality issue here.US20160034137A1 - Reality capture graphical user interface Particularly if you note the seat provided seems extremely modern and the use of spotlights actually remind me of a spaceship! There is an extra-terrestrial, otherworldy feel to these images, both in terms of content, with highly modernized clothing and stylistic props and editing, but also in terms of how they have been curated.

The images themselves are very culturally strong, with clear Asian influences coming through, highly contrived shots, these are strong in terms of composition consisting of mostly dynamic fashion shots. Technically they were very good, Stoddart is able to shoot very 'once in a lifetime' spilt-second, live moments that were compositionally sound, this is particularly impressive when you think that he was always in a challenging environment. There were rather a lot of images, however as they were broken up into groups and hung in large gallery rooms it did not seem so. While they way in which they were hung emphasized the fact they were documentary. The room was dimly lit with only the prints illuminated and hung by clips, this statement lighting fitted the high contrast, hard hitting images. The room was set out in clusters, each image rather small and framed in white, it fitted the power and strength of these images and the purity of the shots. I felt as if you walked into the room and a whole spectrum of human emotion was artfully and unashamedly there to greet you. I found this exhibition beautiful! Tom Stoddart's exhibition featured small grouping of work that featured haunting themes such as AIDS, famine and war. However this was done and I feel that ultimately connections to both brand and magazine can be seen. What was difficult was the fact that our brand and our magazine were had very different aesthetics which meant that we had to hunt for Nylon spreads that fitted with our given brand. I feel that due to a well chosen location and good wardrobe we were able to channel our brand and then when it came to layout we were able to draw inspiration from Nylon.

Overall I am happy with the images we produced, it was our first time working with outdoor studio lighting and our first fashion brief so I feel like we did well.

We were able to use an online forum where we could discuss the project, update each other on our progress and share files. It was a new experience working in a rather big group, it meant that we had to be very organised and roles had to be divided up straight off. As part of this unit we were put into groups and assigned a brand and magazine publication, ours was the clothing brand All saints and the magazine Nylon.
