On the lead up to the Great Yorkshire Show 2013 I spent a day shooting some of the clothing that was to be included in the Fashion Show. The Great Yorkshire Show has gained a huge reputation over the years for showcasing both urban and rural fashion, providing a packed venue for not only leading UK designers but also young and student talents.
As a freelance photographer is can be a little hard to get a handle on a shoot like this as you appear to have too many bosses. You are only photographing various ranges of clothing as well as some students work but this is not actually for those individuals or companies. These pictures would be used print media an pre-pieces leading up to the show. As the publications vary it is essential to shoot a mixture of shots but nothing too weird as the shoot does not need to create its own narrative in the way that a shoot for say Vogue would.
One of the other considerations on a shoot like this is always time. With model changes, and moving lights and camera gear , a day will whizz past.
The location will always play a part in a shoot as well and in this case the wonderful Goldsborough Hall generously gave us the space and time we needed. Obviously if this was a shoot for a full range of clothing more time would be taken to lift rugs and remove/change photos and these sorts of details that a stylist would be used for.
As with most jobs I do the client will specify certain aspects from a brief (in this case the models, location and the clothing ranges) but then leave the rest up to myself, although when doing shoots like this its important to have another pair of eyes and creative input. This is where working with Judy Thompson (GYS PR Guru) makes my life a lot easier. Through-out the day she gently suggested this or that and politely frowned at my more esoteric ideas meaning that little time was lost on shots that simply wouldnt be used. In addition to guidance form Judy, Bernadette Gledhill of the Morton Gledhill Fashion team was onsite to coordinate the models, clothes and make-up keeping things flowing.
The clothing designers were: Brook Tavener, Joules, Pure and smaller designers such as Whitby Jet and Umpie bags and Mary Benson, Students from Northumbria University and Harrogate colleges also had clothes in the 2013 fashion show that we shot. Models Charlotte Girdwood, Emily Naylor, Isabelle Mason Tom and Jack.....were great to work with.
The result....... We got great coverage (Front Page of Yorkshire Evening Post magazine.and inside spreads)....in the national and regional press for the show so everyone was pleased.
So here are some shots with extended picture captions detailing the techniques used.
