feminine collection


i just finished two more designs for my clothing range and its called the feminine collection just because all the clothes in this collection are what i would call feminine and girly. i made two silk skirts based on hime style Hime is the Japanese word for princess A Hime Gal (or Hime Gyaru) is a young woman with elegant and sophisticated style. She looks like a princess, everything she wears is feminine, sexy and high class. You all know that Hime Gyarus (princess girls) wear over the top frills and lace, jewels, bows and pearls, basically resembling a 'modern' 18th Century European Princess. Their style basically screams richness and royalty!! so i hope you like my kawaii style clothes. i made some super cute accesories too! for the collection.

life and death what does it mean? photography

in these photographs of nature i used plants to represent the cycle of life. in these photos i was trying to represent that as every life is valuable, so is every minute of time we have to live life. i was trying to capture a moment in time show the rain drops on the leafs. the most successful part is the natural lighting it shows the water droplets very well. the least successful part is that some of the photos are out of focus, to improve i could focus the camera or zoom out.

in these photographs of nature i used trees and bushes to represent the cycle of life and death.in these photos i was trying to represent a moment in life, i was trying to show life and reincarnation. the most successful part is the natural lighting it shows the branches and leafs very well. the least successful part is that some of the photos are out of focus, to improve i could focus the camera or zoom out.

in these photographs of nature i used dead snails, trees and bushes to represent the cycle of life and death. i used natural lighting and scenery of trees without there leaves on. i was trying to represent reincarnation because during winter the trees leafs die and fall of then they are reborn again in spring when they grow back.the most successful part is the natural lighting and the shadows of the trees.the least successful part is that some of the photos are out of focus, to improve i could focus the camera the take the photo from a different angle.

in these photographs of nature i used dead flowers to represent the cycle of life and death. i used natural lighting and dead flowers in a vase with water droplets on the petals. was trying to represent reincarnation because during winter the flowers die and dry up then they are reborn again in spring when they grow back.the most successful part is the natural lighting the least successful part is that some of the photos are out of focus, to improve i could focus the camera the take the photo from a different distance.

tom hunter


Tom hunter is an photographer artist. he takes thing out of context. in this photograph he has taken a 21st century black man in suite and put him in a 20th century style barber shop so the photo looks out of context.

the composition of the photo i look first at his face because it looks serious. then my eyes are drawn towards the dark shadow in the corner then i look at the mirror on the wall.

i think that the mood of this photo is relaxing. my reaction to this work is a calm, relaxing background. i think the artist wants the viewer to think of relaxing because the photo is taken in a relaxed environment however the mans body language in the photo looks serious. this work reminds me of the 20th century because this photos background is set in the 20th century.

techniques: in this photo he has used over head lighting and set up stage for the background. this photo is light and it is in colour this is a digital photo. there is alot of depth and space in this photo i think the background is very important to the photographer because it sets the theme.

the artist has represented his ideas by taking two different themes from two different time eras and the artist has made the photograph out of context.

photoshop experimentation


in this experiment i did this in three experiments, i took two photos and layered them on top of each other then i changed the opacity and blended the photos together. i used paint shop pro to blend the two photos. i was trying to create a gradual blended effect. the most successful part is that the photos go together like harmony. the least successful part was blending underexposed photos with over exposed photos so they look out of focus. to improve i could blend two photos with the same lighting for better results.



in my other photo i put two photos next to each other and gradually faded the photos together to make them blend into each other. what i did was i unlocked the background layer on photoshop and made it just a layer then i copied the photo that i wanted it to blend into and pasted it on top of the background that i had made into a layer. i add a layer mask then made it full opacity then i added a blend tool to make two photos gradually blend into each other.the most successful part is that the blend looks really smooth and there are no harsh lines. the least successful part is that one of the photos is overexposed and the other photo is underexposed.

fashion design

before i was totally stuck for ideas i felt unmotivated and i felt like giving up and not going though with my plans mostly because i had no money to buy materials and i had designers block i wasn't felling creative. its not easy i can tell you that much. then i thought to my self did i come this far to give up? all those sleepless night working on my website all for nothing? and i told my self this is i what i want and i need to do it because I'm always starting things then i get frustrated and i don't finish i have lots of unfinished projects that i just gave up on and this isn't going to be the dream i give up on because dreams are just for dreaming but reality it what YOU make it. so i motivated my self to find other inspirations to inspire me i too my photography folder out and started to get ideas from my photography i started to do lots of sketched that i then developed into fashion drawing. i then knew that these were the new designs i could use for my portfolio and my store. i know that doing this will help me go to design school so i try my best to push on and do my work so it will pay off in the future. also today i was so happy because my cousin brought me new sewing materials and my anty gave me some money to indulge on my self but I'm going to spend it on materials
