Trash the dress - part II


Yesterday we attended another Trash the Dress session, and this time we managed to get some images which are in line with our vision for what our paying clients should expect and would receive.

Yesterday we attended another Trash the Dress session, and this time we managed to get some images which are in line with our vision for what our paying clients should expect and would receive. As I have mentioned in my previous post on this topic we have attended these workshops to gain important experience in the safety and practical aspects of a shoot in water, woodland and urban environments as well as to get some reference images which we can show our clients as they consider trashing their own dresses for real.

DISCLAIMER: The image(s) shown below were taken at a workshop using a professional model. There were several other photographers present, and similar poses using the same model may appear on the internet. I have only posted those where I had some artistic input, and of course the combination of my framing, lens selection and post-processing are unique.

The workshop took place in Surrey and not by the sea this time. We had managed to ensure that the model would be wearing a contemporary wedding gown, in most of the locations by additionally sponsoring the workshop. The initial shoot was an urban TTD and featured a derelict building and then a short distance away to an already destroyed coca-cola machine at which I setup a concept image which I had pitched to the session organiser, of the bride with a sledgehammer and coke bottles.

The next location was some woodland nearby which had some amazing natural features, and light and then we finally made our way to a weir and bridge in a local village much to the amusement of the residents, and cricketers playing on the green opposite. This final location had a prom dress being trashed and I have not included it in this posting.

A very big shout out to Skye Edwards , our model for the day who was extremely professional and capable and is highly recommended to any other professional photographers reading this blog entry.
