Isaac Lawrence Brown on Photography took the pictures for me. I used model Adam Dowdy and we shot at Tropical World in Roundhay park. I envisaged a moody shoot utilising the shadows of the tropical plants, which were suited to the concept surrounding new life and healing.
Isaac edited some of the shots however I prefer the above (unedited), I ended up liking these as the edits I felt were too saturated, I loved the look of the neon green but prefer the aesthetic of the unedited, I feel it's more consistent with a moody kind of streetwear shoot.
Edited:
I really like the raw quality of the unedited shots so will use them as they are. I'm really pleased with the outcome of the shoot, there's loads of great shots experimenting with angles and was a pleasure working with Isaac and Adam, they were both very responsive to my direction and helped me not be so awkward in front of the camera! Adam was especially professional and had the right look for the shoot. I styled it with the Lazy Gear 'COLLECT THE BOLTS' cargo trousers so their was consistency and emphasising the concept of being part of a collective, a sense of unity which is the whole brand ethos.
Feedback
Very much agreed that the unedited shots were better than the edited ones, as...
-too neon
-skin looks red and oversaturated
-unnatural
-better unedited as it fits more with the open-minded ethos
-raw, unedited better more 'street style'
One person said they preferred the neon however as it really made the sleeves pop especially against the white hoodie shots which I agree but I want it all to be consistent so I have to stick with the unedited shots.
