A shot from my shoot I wasn't planning on taking. This is from behind my set up of ground sheets, throws, netting fairy lights and lanterns. I had accidently left a pot of flowers on the chair but I think it adds character to the picture to what would otherwise be quite a solitary image. It gives the feeling of being inside a cosy tent or a bedroom fort one would make as a child, but  a twist of nature added with grass and vines.

Boris Bendikov - Dreamming Doll

Bendikov did a project on a model styled as a doll, the props he used were all over sized to make it proportionate to make her seem smaller. I like the set up of the studio, using drapes; balloons; clothing racks and hung up outfits as well as other  things associated with dolls. 

In this photo the model is sat limp on a chair as if she had been placed there. I like how it is fantasy themed and surreal. The image is tied together with the same colours, sticking to girly pinks as dolls are thought to be a girly thing to have. There are also smoke machines being used which give the images the effect of being a dream or memory. 

In my project I plan to use a tent and drapes, nets and lanterns/different types of lighting to add the scenery of the garden.
