A shoot by the sea. {& Bits and Bobs}

In the convenience of going to Bournemouth with a friend for their interview – I thought it’d be great to have an opportunity to take some photos with such a fantastic and stunning expanse. And Bournemouth did not disappoint.
The weather was generally quite mild but later on it rained – we managed to accumulate many shots before the weather became terrible however so things weren’t so bad. I really wanted the shoot to be done in natural lighting somewhere uncluttered and tranquil – there was no place better than the beach on a quiet day.
At this point I’ve also managed to construct my two El Anatsui influenced final pieces. Copper-piece-plated trousers and a top to compliment.
The trousers are done in a harem style – after I traced around some old ones and the top is just a fairly simple T-shirt with the copper plates sewn on.
I also decided to reshoot the dress hoping that the wind would do something for the trail – or just the general background would improve previous shots.
I really liked these. Shot on a Canon DSLR.



& Here the trousers are in it’s making process.

Apologies for low quality – this is was shot on a mobile phone camera.
