My first idea was about climate change and then I decided to focus my project on Androgynous fashion.
Climate Change
Androgynous Fashion
I decide to choose the androgynous idea, because I would like to go further with this idea. I think it fits better with the topic "In a changing world".
Photography references
Mood board for the photo-shooting
After an unsuccessful search for talents in model agencies I contact 2 Fashion students that could fit with the idea of the project.
I found 3 suits online, so I decided to buy them. after when they arrive I asked my two models to try them to decided 2 of them.
I choose the North Greenwich area to be close to the university. The models have just 30 min for the shooting because they are also in their last year and they are usually very busy.
I walked around the area to select the best spots and to know what lenses I will use.
I will use my canon 5D Mark IV with the 35mm and 85mm.
Day of the shooting
The day is grey and perfect for portraits. The models wear the suits in the university, we go direct to the spot I selected and all the shooting happens during the sunset and in 30 min. I do not have behind the scenes pictures because I do not have any assistant.

First selection
Post Processing
I edited the images both in colour and black and white, but I finally decided upon the colour ones.
The black and white pictures look too flat as the background blends with the suits, instead the colour images enhance the power of the pictures by creating contrast between the models and the background.
Final selection
