PAPERCUT Magazine - Burning Amber Gentle Doe

This is another assisting shoot that I did in the summer of 2012, again assisting with Russell. As you can probably tell by the previous shoots I have posted, I prefer to work in menswear and style on menswear shoots, so this was a chance to gain some experience in womenswear. This shoot, named 'Burning Amber, Gentle Doe' was published in Papercut Magazine in October 2012.

Mr Dorian Gray.

The second year of university did indeed get off on the wrong foot. The project that I have been focusing most of my time on this year is this little gem...
It's a styling project which we were put into pairs for and told to choose a trend from the S/S '12 catwalks to focus a styled shoot on. We then had to fit this in with a magazine title and use all the ethics of our chosen publication to lay it out in our portfolio.
So, our concept was based around the idea of Dorian Gray, the man everyone loves to hate, but secretly wants to be. Heritage and the 'Old English Gentleman' trend was featured a lot on the menswear catwalk, and although there was a fear of it looking the same as everything else that involves suits in menswear, we liked the concept and we stuck with it.
There's not much else to say other than we were incredibly happy with how the shoot came out, and the outcome of the layout. Other than that I'll let the images speak for themselves..
