Trafalgar Square

Took a trip to London and hung around Trafalgar Square all day, this was January time. 

I am free and that is why I am lost - Part 3

And now to show you the final image. I would've loved to build the forest scenery but ran out of time OR to shoot outside but the day of the shoot was just too windy; poor model would've taken off (Funny, but not funny).
So I ended up having to learn Photoshop through YouTube within an hour so in a way I'm happy with it. ENJOY!

I am free and that is why I am lost - Part 2

The wings that the model wore were built by me, it's took 2 weeks to build, a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into them and here's the process of how I did it.

Altogether the wings came to 24 ft, the top wings were 7ft each way and the bottom were 5ft each way.

All that held the wings up were the back panels and some ribbon that we tied around the models body. 

Photo 1: planning. At this point I'd already built the back panels that would help support the wings on the model

Photo 2: the structure of the wings were Foam X which was hard to cut especially in the middle

Photo 3: wiring the wings to hold it up a little and to make them look like dragonfly wings 

Photo 4: had to paint the wires black so they stood out more and give them more of a vainy look to them 

Photo 5: using plastic to put over the wings. It's exactly the same material as what tesco bags are made from. 

Photo 6: how they looked when finished before being put with the other wings 

Photo 7: showing the ribbon that held the wings up that was tied to the back panels and around the models chest & waist

For my first post here's a shoot I did a few months ago. It was a fairytale inspired shoot using a quote by German author Franz Kafka (quote is the title of this post)
