So, we wanted candid, personal, diverse, realistic. And we wanted to focus on this idea of everyone dressing themselves. We chose to follow on with the heroes of fashion concept by shooting the 'heroes' in an black walled alley way just off the main high street in Preston town. It needed to be close to an area bustling with people to choose to model, but far enough to be out of the way so we could keep the set area sorted and the same for each model. The problem came when stopping strangers and asking "can we take a photo of you? If you just come down this dark alley way with us..." Doesn't sound too great really does it? Luckily we managed to convince most people our intentions were entirely honorable and get everyone feeling quite comfortable and laughing along.
Apart from a few people, including a magnificent old lady with a fantastic furry coat, most of the people we approached were more than happy to participate in our shoot. Steve put some of the photos that worked well on our group on facebook that we've been using to post inspiration and ideas so we could decide which five photos to submit. Here are some of those photos:
