Research - Fashion on Location

David Burton

David Burton is another great photographer that I came across when researching fasion on location. The first three photos are very natural and relaxed which is what I love but are also moody. I also like the background he has chosen for each one.

The next set of photos give a different feel to the above. They are bright and really catch your attention and are more fun. I like that he has used blocks of colour and somehow the clothes make me think of Graffiti so the background and the clothes really compliment each other.

It really does show how you can create a different effect and feel of a photo by changing the location and clothes.

David Burton also experiments with black and white photos like the ones shown below.

These black and white photos are beautiful and serene. I especially like the middle photograph because it is almost like the road is framing the model and even though you look at the background my eyes are drawn to the model.

A photographer has alot to think about, not only must they make the photos look good but they have to shoot it in such a way that it is going to sell the fashion in the photograph.

The next set of photographs were shot in La Campagne and I like how the photographer as encorported bikes into the photo and has shot them moving instead of just posing in one place.

This photographer clearly shows his versatility in knowing how to portray different moods and mixing that together with the fashion.

Below are photos that the photographer has shot in rain in a more rural setting.

In these photographs he has used pops of colour against the rural background to really show off the fashion. Experimemting with weather and shooting the photos in rain just shows there are no limits and it adds another dimension to the photos.

The last two photographs show how David has used light and shadows in the shoot.

They are both set in contrasting locations but it shows how the shadowing and lighting can highlight the clothes.

I have loved researching David Burton as he has made me realise that its not all about location when it comes to shooting fashion on location and that the clothes and 'theme' of the photograph has alot to do with which location is chosen.

It all has to gel together to tell a story.
