Developing My Experiments

My Chinese Representation - I had a meter of gold organza, a meter of basic red fabric and a meter of a red detailed Chinese dragon pattern. I only brought a small quantity just to experiment with and to see how my images turn out. If my images turn out well then I will buy more fabric to make my photos more realistic. The two models below are in the positions that represent the couple in the Arnolfini Portrait.

Here I used Adobe Photoshop as his jeans and trainers were on show, I used the stamp tool on the gold organza to wash out the blue of his jeans also on the patterned fabric on the other part of his jeans to make them look like part of the outfit also I used the stamp tool to get the colour of the background onto his trainers. As you can see compare this outfit to my African attempt this one has more thought into where his arms would go and the way the fabric is placed.

These images I had my friend who is a fashion student to help me with the outfit. The fabrics really fall well on this model, however I did use Adobe Photoshop to change the colour of the model top to red so it goes with the under skirt, so now with the red top it looks like a red dress instead of a skirt.
