What an excellent find

Think im slowly but surely falling in love with the vintage shops in Manchester. I found this shirt for £3, yes £3. Im totally in love with it! Still trying to figure out what it looks best with, but as its just plain white with some lace detailing I guess the world is my oyster, so to speak.

Shooting

It was my first week of fashion photography starting on the 26th of September we were told to take a photograph of the same thing three times, it was quite difficult at first as I kept taking two as I found that worked better. I've only got a cheap camera, a fujifilm finepix z35. To be honest it does me fine, getting a new camera at Christmas, no idea what one to get!

Anyway here are some photos from that day;






By taking these photographs its then leading me on to gain inspiration from the different environments around me.

Tacky New York shirt and the black lipstick.

So whilst browsing through many vintage shops in Manchester I came across one called "£5 or less" so I decided to take a look, if you want to find something I would seriously set aside about an hour to go through everything in there. But I came across this shirt which only cost me £3! I quite like mash up of colours and obviously the huge Statue of Liberty on the back! 



Moving to Manchester...

So, i've moved to Manchester to be precise Salford to attend university, obviously the University of Salford where I am in my first year of Fashion. Since I have moved here I have noticed a completley different fashion culture to where im from, a little pokey town called Ellesmere Port, where no one really stands out from the crowd so to speak. I shall continue to post what I find whilst living here and what influences me during my 3 years of study!
