This image was inspired by Gavin Watson. As shown in my research log, Gavin Watson has taken images including DMs which help show a punk, skin-head rebellion era of youth fashion. In order to shoot this image in the style of Gavin Watson, I edited it to be black and white to give it an older effect.
The camera settings for this photo...
Shutter Speed: 1/250
The reason my I had a fast shutter speed was so I could achieve my subject being as sharp as I could.
F.stop: 20
The reason my F.stop was so high was subject even though I wanted a contrast of the background and my subject , I still wanted a wide depth of field to an extent.
This image was inspired by a photo shown in my image bank. This shows how my research has helped influence my work because it has given me lots of different ideas to look out for. This subject was someone who gets my bus and I saw them in the common room wearing this outfit and thought it would work very well in my shoot.

Shutter speed: 1/80
When taking my photo the sun was very bright and I didn't want to have a really over exposed image so I lowered the shutter speed to make it darker. Another reason why I had a lower shutter speed was because sharpness wasn't a dominant factor for this image because I wanted my audience to gain a gritty feel for this image.
F.Stop: 20
For this image, even though it's the same F.Stop in the first image, I positioned my subject close to the wall behind them so the wide depth of field technique would able me to have both my subject and the background in focus. I found this was important in getting the punk vibe because it makes it look more industrial.
This is an image which was inspired by my work at the beginning of the year within the studio. During the high key lighting technique I experimented with my subjects and asked one of my subjects to put up their hood which I really liked the final result of. Furthermore, whilst researching I found a photographer called David Bailey who captured Mick Jagger in a very similar image which I really liked. Thus showing how my work in class has helped my experimentation of this shoot.

Shutter Speed: 1/40
For this image, if you were to zoom in closer, you can see it isn't sharp. This is because I had a very low shutter speed. I found these made a slight blur/ distortion in my photo which I believe successful displays the reckless and rebellion aspect of youth.
F.stop: 5.6
I chose to have a low F.stop to create a narrow depth of field; I wanted my subject to be clearly in focus and nothing in the background to pull away the focus- the fence. This made the facial features of my subject really clear and dominant which I believe is really successful.
Much like the first image of this shoot, this image is inspired by Gavin Watson but also an image in my image bank displaying red/ burgundy DMs. This shows my influence of this image were purely down to advertising purpose, hens why I got my subject to pose in this way.

Shutter speed: 1/10
For this image I could have had a high shutter speed making is sharp, yet I found that this made it too dark and also I preferred the washed out aspect of this image instead.
F.stop: 5.6
very similar to the image above, I didn't want the focus of the DMs to be taken so I was able to manually focus the subject more clearly and the bricks of the wall and much less dominant.
Through my research, this image was inspired by a photo displayed in my image bank with a female subject and a denim jacket with a patch on the back. I believe this fashion displays the 90s era really well with the bright clothes mixed with the blue of the blue of the jeans.
Camera Settings for the photo...
Shutter speed: 1/800
For this photo I didn't want any movement of my subject so I made it a very fast shutter speed, in order for this photo to be sharp.
F.Stop: 20
For this image, I wanted the colouring of the background to contrast the colour of the jeans so I made my F.stop high to create a wide depth of field effect.
When researching the "Mod" era of fashion I found a lot of bomer coats with badges on which I really liked. I found this subject wearing one, so instead of taking a photo of her whole outfit, I thought the badges alone worked really well in showing this style of fashion.

Shutter speed:1/85
As this is just a close up of an arm of a coat, I didn't find it necessary to have a high shutter speed as I feel the outcome of this photo is still very sharp.
F.Stop: 5.6
I also wanted this photo to include complimentary colours which contrasted each other and I found the brown of the fence contrasted really well with this coat, so I wanted the F.stop to be quite low in order to out of focus the background so its mainly just the colour which is displayed.
This image was influenced my an image displayed in my image bank of just a top, a skirt and a belt, with nothing else in the background. Even though I included a door lock in the background, I done this symbolically to add to the final outcome of the image. As this is a contertype of youth fashion I wanted to display something which is stereotypically to youth to contrast my subject- the lock is stereotypically and symbolic of youth because many teenagers are stereotyped to lock people out and push them away to be alone- anti social. I also used the image in my image bank to look for this outfit- colours with contrast each other to show individuality.

Shutter speed: 0.3
If you were to look carefully into this image you would see I have discreetly used the technique of blur, to due this I included a slow shutter speed. My reasons behind this was symbolic, because this isn't a stereotyped outfit, I included blur as a way to form an implied meaning of a defeat of peer pressure, many may look at this and think this wrong to dress like this, yet others may find it a really nice style.
F.Stop: 5.6
As explained above, I used the lock for symbolic purposes, yet I didn't want it to distract my audience into looking at this image so a lower F.stop made it easier to have a narrow depth of field to make the lock out of focus.
