Genre
Creative Genre: So Ive had a bit of trouble trying to figure out what genre my portfolio images are going to be because at first I said fashion photography and that was what I was looking up on pinterest but when we had a group discussion and got asked whose my designer going to be I didn't know because I wasn't really thinking about the fashion side of things I was more leaning towards intense makeup, hair and over exaggerated poses. I then searched glamour shoots up on pinterest which was more nudity and beauty but they had the poses I was looking for. I then went on Wikipaedia and searched 'Fashion photography' and came up with these two definitions
"Fashion photography is a genre of photography devoted to displaying clothing and other fashion items."
"Over time, fashion photography has developed its own aesthetic in which the clothes and fashions are enhanced by the presence of exotic locations or accessories."
after reading those two definitions i came to the conclusion that my portfolio was going to be fashion and beauty genre. When i was on pinterest and searched up fashion photography the images that came up were very beautiful, but fashion was not the main focus in the image, it was the way the models were posing and making use of what they had around them that made the image.
I want to show the difference between photography in the studio and photography on the street, also natural and studio lighting. My two main photoshoots are going to be of Tessa in the studio and Samantha on the streets of auckland.. Doing Ballet, something different and more natural for her.
These two images below are good examples of how the fashion is not the main focus.

This is a great start to your blog documentation of your portfolio project Rainer. We have seen lots of your photos in class and you now need to start posting them to your blog with evaluative comments on what is working in each image, anything that may not be working and how you will approach your next shoot. Continue looking at artist models. You should be posting at least one each week with comments on ideas and techniques you can take into your own work. Keep thinking about your project in terms of ideas and identifying what makes your project fashion.
