CROSBY BEACH.

GRAVEYARD.













The sereas of Crosby beach images are a fine art project i was set out to do. I started of photographing in the studio of a student and really liked the photographs i preduced. I felt confidant that the pictures i had fitted the Fine Art set perfectly untill i had a one to one assessment with my tutor who is marking this unit. the photographs had where more bassed around fashion and not fine art as such. I come out of the assessment a bit down because i felt that my photographs are strong for this unit. Unfortinatly i could not hand the set of images in so my next step was to think about how i can do a fine art shoot and use a set of images that went  well together and had a relation to the human condition.

First i come up with an idea of photographing my nan in her house but felt that this could be done for a future unit. The photographs i had taken at Crosby Beach was to relate to the human condition and i was thinking about having a human next to a sculpture to try and capture still ness and pease. I thought if i used a dress that flows in the find and looked naturel and then having a strong sculpture that is solid then it sould be sereal and give the vuewer i different perseption of just a beach with iron men on. I felt that the shoot went really well had was a great do to take photographs.On the day of the shoot i had the model and an assistant who helped me with this shoot. The model, Christy Litter who done a great job dealing with the dress and having to walk in wet sand in her boots, All this was for me and i couldnt of done this with out her. Also my assistant was faye rowley who also helped me with the dress, keeping it up right and tiet to her body using safty pins and a lot of pashints due to the safty pins coming undone everytime she moved.

The dress was a size 14 and the model is only a size 10 i think but i thought thats a good idea to have the dress big so it can flow in the find. Unfortinatly it wasnt so windy that day but i cant canplain coz the weather was great. I wated to have a old phone in the shoot to make it more interesting and also makes the images stand out. The idea with the telephone was really for the shhot in the graveyard. Again i liked the statues and grave stones and wanted to portray comunication in to worlds. The underworld and this world.
