Welcome back - Term 3
After the Spring break, I am back and ready to develop more skills and learn about amazing artists and their work. I spent this time focusing on the relationships with my friends and family as I came back to my home town - Warsaw, Poland. From the beginning of 2021, my resolution was to read more books and so far I am doing great and most of the things that inspired me this month were literature. Especially interesting was a book by Victoria Schwab 'The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue'. The story about a girl that cannot be remembered and the descriptions of her feeling made me more aware of the world surrounding me and gave me more motivation to leave the mark so that after I am gone, I will not be forgotten.
My other inspiration was a Makeup Artist and Beauty photographer, Olga Dann. She creates amazing looks on her face suitable for every occasion. I found her work mesmerising as her self-portraits are always well-thought and executed, and it is the skill I am still trying to learn. This brings me to my goals for this term. I would love to explore more photography related aspects of Fashion Communication and Styling and focus on presenting my work. I will try to take more fashion photos and experiment with editorial-like settings for my models to show off my art.
Glad to see some initial ideas and it sounds like you have been busy during the break. Olga Dann's work looks interesting (make sure you add a correct reference for the Voir article) and made me think of Evelyn Affleck although you may already have heard of her.
ReplyDeleteMight be an idea to add an image for the Victoria Schwab book too, it's also being turned into a movie as well, so might be worth adding something about that too.
