"Shades"
- A Fair Visions Photography and Fine Art Project -
Concepts / Work in Progress
Welcome to the Work in Progress Gallery. The images here represent a selection that show the work as it progresses from Concept/Sketchbook work all the way through to the final shoot.
The lantern is a critical part of the Wisp's concept, so drawing out how we want it to look was important. We still haven't decided on a final look!
While not part of the Shades Project directly, Cristelle is an important part of the practice run-up, so Lily and Charli sat down to doodle ideas.
While Barghest is, yes, "just a dog", it still requires a lot of planning!

Concepts and Sketchbook Work
Everything that happens in the Shades Project starts out life as a concept in a sketchbook. Check out the gallery to see what kind of things go into the concept designs and see how they develop over time!
This image as a little sneak peek of how Lily's LeFay outfit is coming along. We love how shimmery it is!
Testing a prototype capelet.
The process of adding the leaves is a long one. There is already somewhere in the region of eighty leaves on the outfit, with a further two hundred to go!

Pre-Production and Development
Slightly different from conceptulising, pre-production often involves a lot of location scouting, material testing, prototyping and experimentation. This gallery shows what kinds of things we get up to during this phase of a photoshoot!
As an example of what happens at our shoots, here's a snap from the "Eira" photoshoot in November 2013. We're making it snow. Yep - we're so technical...
This day was particularly windy, and poor Julia found that it was making her eyes water. Frequent makeup touch-ups were required.

Photoshoots and Post-Production
Photoshoots rarely go according to plan, and sometimes, we just have to make things up as we go along! Check out this gallery to see all the fun, and mishaps(!), we have along the course of a shoot.
