Okay, maybe crocs are ugly.
As a group were tasked to create a photoshoot based on 5 words that we generated from looking at the "Trans Siberian Express" Vogue editorial. After much brainstorming and deliberation we decided that our concept would be to depict a modern day Cinderella story through 3 key images. We decided to make the shoot very location based similar to the editorial that we researched and also kept colours as a focus of the shoot. Our 5 words were
Intimacy
Temperature
Journey
Mystery
Provocative
Each group was also given an accessory that was meant to be featured within their shoots. We were given 'shoes'. The words Journey, mystery and provocative were the main words we wanted to focus on. However we didn't want to do these too obviously as it would be too easy to add shadows to create mystery, show some skin to represent provocativeness and show a shot on the train to show a journey. The narrative followed loosely to the cinderella story with a man and a woman featured in the photos. We included references to cinderella through the styling and location incorporating the main cinderella colours of blue and pink throughout.
Crocs were our attempt at introducing "Provocativeness". As we needed to include shoes as an element of the shoot we thought it would be a funny modern way of telling the cinderella story by using a croc instead of the glass slipper. The models relationship between each other in the image suggests the intimacy yet mystery aspects also as the images beg to question why is she running away? and why are they standing at a distance with blank expressions?
