PROP MAKING THE CROWNS READY FOR THE PHOTO-SHOOT

Angela:
So now I have finally got round to making props!! The photo-shoot is this Monday 13th May 2013, so the time is coming soon. These were really fun to make and pretty straight forward. I decided to use inspiration from the a fast food chain (I can't name), were you got crowns as a kid. They were so cool back then and after making a dummy crown out of card and photographing it, I thought it good on camera, so I proceeded to make my own....

Luckily at uni we have a couple of laser cutters, so I was able to make a clean symmetrical pattern in illustrator within no time. The laser cutter cut out the pattern perfectly and then I moved on the spray painting them both sides, and adding flowers for the Queen.

LOCATION LOCATION: THE FAIRY TALE PHOTO-SHOOT


Angela:
According to Aaron this is one of the most important parts to a photo-shoot and it took us a while to come up with the final location for the shoot. Originally we thought it would be a great idea to take the photo-shoot in the woods. 


"I think that shooting images in the woods adds drama and mystery to the photos. It's almost like entering into your own world, one away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life," Aaron Semhar.

Unfortunately the closest one was too far and with funding for the shoot being next to nothing, was almost impossible to do. We had to come up with another plan. The story was almost set and we needed to find a place that was fairy tale like and enchanting. This is when we came across The Holy Trinity Church, right in the city centre of Coventry....

These are our test shots taken today at the church. We were lucky enough to be there on a lovely sunny day, so the natural sun light was shinning through the stained glass windows. The whole place was gleaming!
