back to the graffiti.... Banksy

Banksy v Robbo Jan 3rd 2010 

The boy from the sticks seems to have been upsetting a Cockney tagger. Read on. 
It seems Banksy and a tagger by the name of Robbo or as graffiti kids like to say "writer" have had a slight altercation according to the word on the street. It seems like Robbo's tag had lasted 25 years until the young upstart Banksy decided to renovate it. Robbo who has said he has given Banksy a slap in the past seems to have had the last laugh until now. 
Although we think that Robbo and Banksy are buddies and it is just another tale made up for the gullible by the gullible. Banksy likes nothing more than extracting the urine out of the press. 
Anyway the photos before,after and after after are underneath. 
 
 
 

my model...

this is my model Tom, fantastic features and great bone structure which would be great in the dim lighting that we are going to have. this is one of his old modelling pictures but i see him almost everyday so i know what he looks like. i can just see him there with his cigar, whisky in hand..... so sophisticated.......:)

for the lady i know the perfect model but whether or not she would be reliable is another thing... but for the lady i have a fur coat (real) a hat, a cigarette holder, a long red dress... im really excited for this shoot now we are coming together. its going to be brilliant.

i think i have my perfect male model. he's modelled before and would be awesome for this shoot. he's called tom, 23 years old. ery strong facial features and would look brilliant on a spotlight scene. i shall soon get a picture and post it up. :)

don't u think smoke looks sexy in a scene like this? of course.... but it isn't reality.... in fact a lot of people i speak to dont think its attractive at all but yet the women looks glamorous in this and the man is looking at her so seductively.... maybe it was attractive back in the 1930's to smoke.... which is why i bought a cigarette holder. im so happy.... i cant believe its taken me until now to get on ebay... ebay is the best...:)

Film Noir

for our groups photoshoot weve decided to go with the film noir theme. the black and white, smokey, gangster look. so we are going to set our scene in the bar. whisky..... cigar.... pinstripe suits..... u get me?? oh yea....

this was in my friends garden, the only flower living in her garden and it was so full of colour. so pretty. yellow is one of my favourite colours so i had to get a picture of it. :)

graffiti...

graffiti..... is soooo nineties but i got to love it. brick walls and graffiti together create so much texture to an image. it stands out and used in the right context it could look fabulous in a fashion photo shoot.

this image is delicate, provocative yet stylish. these high waisted trousers by YSL this image creates an everyday style that can be obtained by us everyday so therefore we can associate ourselves in everyday life with high fashion.

this wedding dress is awesome. but a man is wearing it!! how weird! but i must admit this creation made by Thom Brown as part of his tennis and tulle collection is fantastic.

i like the image on the left. the tree, the brick wall and the model just standing there emotionless. but i think the glasses him him such character. school boy look ready to wear. the lighting has much effect as well it gives the feel its abroad somewhere south of France. a place i would love to go again.

a

a nautical themed advertisement by topshop. its a trend that never seizes to go out of date, it can always be changed into a new trend. it is one of my favourite trends at the minute. not too keen on the sailor type theme though but i definatly like the stripes.

flicking through a few ol' I-D magazines.....

 I-D magazine. an old summer issue but an issue i didn't find that inspirational considering it is I-D of course. but because it is a summer issue it is very light and airy. lots of bright images and summer themed photography.

i look like i should be in a psychiatric patient....dark eary and i feel it doesnt have any emotion but yet its expressing so much.

the original picture i took. it just looks so beautiful. :)

i went out sledging one day, and as i came off the park my dad was coming onto it to walk the dog. so i walked round and when we came to the Japanese gardens i just saw an very picturesque view, i couldn't resist taking a picture and giving it a tweak on photo shop.

this looks very ghoulish and very creepy. night vision springs to mind. very cold and dark...

this looks more cartoon like, i like how the shadows cover everywhere but my right cheek...

a bit of photoshop work

the absolutly terrible picture of me, i did a bit of work to in and this looks similar to some of Andy Warhol's work, but with a bit more of an etch to it....

here is an image of me one morning, id been on a night out straight from work and woke up in my mates bed the next morning. went to the bathroom, and had the fright of my life when i saw what was staring back at me. i instantly thought i looked like beetlejuice. luckely i had my phone at hand, i think its hilarious the state i look... gave me ideas for photoshop :)
