Portraiture

A young woman sits regally in an antique wooden chair, dramatically she rests her chin on her hand. She is dressed in a bespoke red dress by the fashion designer Drinxing Bleach, and the image is shot with minimally where only the woman's skin is brightly illuminated and the rest of the image is overtaken by shadow providing a stark contrast between her pale skin and the dark red of the garment.
A young woman in a black and red dress stands in front of the camera, holding the frilled skirt of her dress from the ground as she walks. The image is shot incredibly dark, with much of the image blending into the shadows. The dress melts into the blackness of the background and the woman's face is seemingly cut in half, hidden behind her black hair.
Taken on a fashion show catwalk this image shows a woman illuminated from behind by a bright spotlight. As her body is half-turned with her catwalk strut, her left arm and leg becomes brightly lit exposing the bright white suit she wears, adorned with matching white roses. Additionally the spotlight provides a sharp white outline to the rest of her body, showing off her curled short hair and the rim of a pair of thin framed sunglasses.
Inside of a vintage 1970s bus a young woman poses in the aisle, leaning with her hands steadying herself on the seats on either side. She is dressed in a grey skirt and a white shirt tied at her waist, and a necklace made up of many curved and circular silver pieces adorns her neck. Her eyes are off to the side, seemingly looking out the window at something out of frame. The image is shot mostly naturally, with a subtle warmth to the tone matching the interior of the bus and the dim yellow lights in it's ceiling.
A woman stands on the interior of a vintage 1970s bus, she is stood off to the side facing a mirror built into the interior. She is dressed in a mod-inspired outfit, a black and white top paired with a large conductors cap. In her reflection we can see that she is staring off into the corner of her ceiling, a grim blank look on her face. A black and white stylisation adds to the tension in her expression.
