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:

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.

TEST IN LE TOUQUET TOMORROW (?)
It seems that tomorrow could be the day I finally get to do a test on the aeroplane and in Le Touquet.
Checked weather with pilot today and it seems all clear.
He (kindly) informed me that the plane we would be flying has the registration plate "G-BYES".

I decided to do a youtube search to check what the planes cockpit looks like, for photographing. They (kindly) offered me other search terms...

All this, on top of the fact it's the 13th tomorrow has officially made me shit my pants!
Also, due to all the problems with lcf camera rental (lack of priority), I don't have the canon 5D MKII to test it all with.
Stressed about the camera.
Stressed about fl(d)ying.
Stressed about time.
Stressed about disser-fucking-tation.
Life's good! ;)

STILL NOT ABLE TO FLY
This is the reason I have still not done a test in Le Touquet:

Probably makes as much sense to you as it does to me, but basically the good old english weather is providing too much low cloud and fog for the flight.
Going to try book the plane again for next weekend, so I will have progress to show in my tutorial.
Meeting with stylist tomorrow too (last week was cancelled). So once this is done I can get underway with my final shots.
Does anyone else think the deadlines have closed in ridiculously fast?!

10 UNBELIEVEABLE PRISON BREAKS
http://oddee.com/item_96931.aspx
The link above was partly responsible for me having the idea to break out of prison by digging underground, as opposed to jumping over the wall.
Also has some old and contemporary references of wanted posters and mugshots.

LONG OVERDUE PROGRESS UPDATE
Been seriously lacking inspiration recently, so I thought i'd do a (long overdue) blog post.
My feedback from the term 2 progress presentations was overall pretty positive, but the tutors still have a concern with the styling side of my project leaning to being 'tacky'.
The simple answer to this is that I don't give a shit about styling - don't really have much interest in that side of photography, so I will require a good stylist to boost that criteria up.
Found one on model mayhem that seems to fit the bill, so will be arranging to meet with him in the near future, to discuss ideas.
Ordered my second prison uniform which arrived today - The first being waaay too big for Zaneta.
The new one is an orange boiler suit, and fits her much better - after researching different prison uniforms it also looks very realistic.
Going to visit battersea dogs home tomorrow to look at a possible location, as well as go to the library to find case studies/books for my (f***ing annoying) dissertation.
Zaneta pointed me to fergie's 'glamorous' music video which is great inspiration for my plane shots too:
