Trends and Photoshoot Project:Working in small groups students had to create a product based editorial for an Interiors Magazine. Students identified trends, created a backdrop with a limited composition, avoiding large objects and focused in on detail They then worked with professional photographer Austin Hutton to create these images. Each group were allocated just 40 minutes to create their composition while thinking about lighting, colour, focus and viewpoints. Inspiration was gleaned from existing editorials, however, each composition was informed by students own research rather than plagiarising existing concepts.
During the week of the Interior Styling Course, students had the opportunity to work with Photographer Austin Hutton on a potential Magazine Editorial. The students worked in groups of three and were given just 40 minutes from start to completion in order to develop a concept and select products from our vast store of props. This is the first time that students had worked with a photographer and with this kind of brief, however, here are some examples of the work the students produced with Austin. Naturally this is a huge learning curve for anyone beginning their styling career although I think you will agree that the outcomes are actually not bad at all for a first attempt.
