Foundation Degree: Hat Project

Here are my Final Images from my first Foundation Degree Project; Creative/Documentary Hat. 

This was a joint project; I had to produce an image of someone under 20 or over 60 wearing an object styled as a hat creatively. I choose to style a young model using a halo/crown of thorns made from Christmas lights so they would resemble an angel or saint, and shoot them in a wooded environment to give the image a feel of an angelic vision. I also used a reflector to lighten the model to make her look more spectral and angelic. 

I then had to produce a documentary image of someone wearing a hat on the street (preferably someone of the opposite age and gender than that of my subject from my Creative shoot). I did 2 shoots along the Quayside Market and around Granger Street and Market in Newcastle and overall I selected this shot of this lovely old man as my most successful image. This was quite a tricky project for me as I think the way I work is more technical than creative, but I loved the Documentary Project simply because I love Street Photography. 

This is just the first of many projects and final images from my Foundation Degree so keep your eyes peeled for more posts and probably a page when I've taken a few more. But until then; enjoy and let me know what you think of my blog and images.
