Just found this amazing graphic novel, created by Agent Provocateur to publicise their Autumn/Winter collection. I know I'm kinda late, but how cool does it look! Girl power!

MoreObsession

Another art post, about drapery again. I made myself a dress and modelled it, in order to capture the effects of different environments on the fabric. We photographed it in the night here, and I think the results look really ethereal and magical! Because the flash was too harsh, the camera automatically exposed the photos for longer to let more light in, which is how the blurry effect was achieved. Completely on purpose of course.

Art Project

Photos I took for our project on obsession about a certain object; mine was a Greek statue of the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite. I find the drapery and fabric on Greek statues amazing; the detail the sculptors created is inspirational.

I created these photos by projecting an animation I had created, by scanning my scarf into Photoshop and going through the colours of the spectrum, onto my model. I wanted to capture the effect of the folds of the fabric on her body and her clothes; as if she were wearing it.

Dura Navis

To tempt the dangerous deep, too venturous youth,

Why does thy breast with fondest wishes glow?

No tender parent there thy cares shall sooth,

No much-lov'd Friend shall share thy every woe.

Why does thy mind with hopes delusive burn?

Vain are thy Schemes by heated Fancy plann'd:

Thy promis'd joy thou'lt see to Sorrow turn

Exil'd from Bliss, and from thy native land.
