Lookbook Wrap Up

I had a lot of fun making my lookbook. I haven't 'styled' people before and I hoped that my images wouldn't look too pose-y and like an amateur had taken them even though I did want a lo-fi look. I did it in a really short time frame because I'm already a bit behind the schedule: in the end it took me about six hours to take the photos and then the equivalent of another full day to choose which ones to use and put effects on them etc.

I had absolutely no money to spend on this so my models are people I know. Rachel and Leeroy did a fantastic job though and I learnt about finding people's interesting angles, and how to get a bit of life and movement into a shot.

I had so many images that I loved in the end. Here are a few of them that I didn't end up using in the final cut (and I'm already starting to think about what to do for my next collection...).
