1920's Flapper

I am so annoyed that these photographs are slightly blurry because they are my favourites. Maybe I can fix them with photoshop or something because even if I take them again I dont think I could get it the same.

Fabiola

In my Art Context lecture on the body we were looking at portraiture and a piece of work by Francis Alys. This gave me the perfect idea for my next re-creation.

Welcome to the 1940's

In these photographs Georgina reminds me of Bobby of off the Railway Children, which wasn't my intention as it was wrote in Victorian England and this was ment to be the 1940's. But I like them anyway. It is a pitty that the middle one is blurry though, maybe I could fix it with photoshop, if not i'll do a painting instead.

Medival Maiden

It was suggested that instead of taking pictures at home I should take my next photographs on location. However I dont think I got the location quite right, the sandstone of the castle was too light and didn't give me the atmosphere of the dark ages that I wanted. This was the first photo shoot that I decided to make the costume my model was wearing and I was very pleased with it and I hope to continue to design and make the costumes.

Movie Star

For some reason these photogaphs remind me of Kate Winslet on the film Titanic.

Venetian Woman

Before this current photography project I was looking at masks as I had recently been to Venice and was fascinated by them. However that project hit a dead end but I was still determined to incorporate at least one mask into my new body of work.

Girl With A Pearl Earring

At the same time I started looking at famous re-creations and wanted to do one of the Girl With A Pearl Earring. The bottom one was my first attempt with matterial I had at hand, it was a decent attemp but needed refining. After scouring various fabric shops I found the materials I was looking for and produced a much more accurate image.

Geisha

After the first two photographs I started looking at changing the identity of my sister and through that process I was able to incorporate my love of fashion and period clothing into my work.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall

When I did these pieces I was looking at the idea of identity and how mirrors can not lie to you. They show a reflection of yourself and therefore a reflection of the truth.
