PRISON BREAK SCREENCAPS
Recently I have been watching season 2 of Prison Break, partly because I like the show, and partly because I have always been thinking about it in regards to my major project editorial.
I originally watched the show as inspiration for my first image, breaking over the prison wall (screencaps here), but the more I watch it the more I see connections between my other images.
It's quite a good feeling, as it shows that my ideas are relevant to the jailbreak theme.

FAILED CLINK PRISON VISIT!
Back in mid february my mum & dad came to london to visit for a couple of days.
We attempted to go to Clink Prison Museum to see if it might have been possible to shoot there...
...It wasn't =P

CATCHING UP ON BLOG POSTS
I've been really busy shooting my major project final images recently, that I've not had much time to blog on here.
I currently have a large piece of paper titled "blog entries todo", which keeps getting longer and longer, so I thought it was about time I ticked a few off the list.
My last blog entry was a rather negative one, as I had just lost my stylist with only a few days until I was due to shoot my first batch of final images.
From studying in first and second year, I realised that an aspect of my work that really suffered was time-keeping - I find it hard to motivate myself to work until time forces me to do so. Due to the importance of third year I really tried to correct this and prepare everything earlier on.
I therefore met the stylist in December, and emailed on and off for 3 months to arrange the shoot. This preparation made it all the more infuriating when the son-of-a-bitch cancelled on me two weeks before shoot time.
Don't actually think the punk had even begun to arrange clothing for me - never emailed with any confirmations nor any interest in meeting up again to view the clothing.
So anyway, after sending over 40 emails to london-based stylists I managed to find 1 within 5 days of my shoot.
Happy in the end, as both my stylist and hair/mua have been a great team.
As of today, I am 14 images done, with only 1 more to shoot.
By this time tomorrow I will have shot them all.
Then a hell of a lot of editing ahead of that.
I'll start uploading some of them to this blog, as I'm working on them.
How is everyone else getting on? It seems the uni blogging has slowed down quite a lot, and I'm really interested in seeing other people's tests/finals.

NOT A HAPPY CHAPPY
Been getting all testing out the way before my final shoots begin on saturday 10th.
Very stressed at the moment.
Spent the last couple of days in Manchester testing out lighting for the first couple of shots in my storyboard.
Trying to organise locations for the first shooting day is bad enough, and now it seems I don't have a stylist any more...
If anyone knows someone who would be willing to work with me on short notice please, please let me know.
Here's a couple of tests (with lighting) of the phonebooth and the hotel blinds shots.

FREE ISABELI - BOB WOLFENSON
Here's another fashion editorial of a prison-like environment, this time photographed by Bob Wolfenson.
I couldn't be bothered to upload each image, so click the link below to visit the website:
http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/s--Isabeli-Fontana-Vogue-Brasil-February-2010-5150-1.html
After doing my whole dissertation based around how police uniforms are used in fashion, I'm beginning to get sick of the same old "police restraining model" shit - completely overdone, and I'm glad that I decided against including police in my major project.
That said, the editorial is still good as research. It amazes me how much "prison-like" fashion shoots are out there, once you set your mind on looking for them.
