Photography Inspiration...

http://www.vanessamooney.com/collections

We absolutely loooooove these photos used for the Illuminations collection. We especially love the giant moon prop, and thought that we will need something like this when we hold our photoshoot!! Also, the way that the model positions her body works really well for selling jewellery, as your eyes are directed straight to the accessories, which is something we need to make sure works when directing our models. We love the fact that the photoshoot is on location, but this would probably be quite a hard thing to organise! But we can have a look at possible locations in the yorkshire area none the less!

Location Ideas...


Whitby Abbey
Whitby Abbey could be a good location, as it's easy to get to and will make a wonderful backdrop for photographs! Also, being in the middle of nowhere will allow for no interruptions.. We wouldn't want to be getting in the way of people!




Wuthering Heights
The Yorkshire Moors could make a really good location for the photoshoot, but it might be a bit bleak at certain times of the year, and will be really cold in the winter, so time of year will need to be taken into consideration if we were to go up there!


North York National Park
Near Ravenscar there's a coast line and fields after fields of national park. Would be a very English setting, and would make some rather dramatic photographs. Could maybe even go down to the coastline and take some beach photos?


Whitby West Cliff Beach
A possible beach location, though I'm not sure how quiet the location will be.. Or how easy it is to get to...


Otley Chevin
Another park in Yorkshire, but a lot closer to Leeds than most of the locations I've been looking at, as it's just a bus ride over to Otley!



Ilkley Moor
Baron and dramatic.. A lot of different textures and areas of the moors in Ilkley, so could suit a variety of photoshoots. Quite a contrast in colours between the two photos below as well, so could find a variety of different areas to work in.



Twelve Apostles, Ilkley Moor
A photoshoot in a stone circle could work really well as it will link to the "cosmic" feel that we're going for. Will have quite a hippy vibe to the photos, and would look pretty against the colour of the heather flowers on the hills.


Druid's Temple, Swinton
Ooooooo or the Druid's Temple near Swinton would be a really good location! It's dramatic and very historic. Would suit the hippy and cosmic vibe to our Bohemian brand. Would also be an interesting location to shoot in with the models.




Interesting Photoshoots...









I really like this photoshoot, because of how bright the colour choices are. The vivid colours help emphasise the patterns in the clothing and make the images pop. I also love how they've played around with the model's eyebrows - which seems to be a very trendy thing in the fashion industry at the moment. The bright and bold colours are also broken up with all the splashes of white - in the eyebrows, amongst the pattern, and even on the model's nails.



I really love the elegance portrayed in these jewellery photos, however I don't think it will really suit our brand as it's a bit too stripped back. I think that the audience and the overall feel to our brand will be more Bohemian / trippy, and not so much about the elegance of the jewellery. However, I found this set of images alluring, and thought that they could even be influential in the poses of our models.
