Using black and white photography, I focused on texture, shape, and silhouette to emphasise the craftsmanship and individuality of the garments. As these dresses carry a strong sense of history, I wanted to emphasise their character and beauty. The monochrome imagery removes distraction from colour, allowing greater attention to detail, fabric, and form.
The models featured in the images were not professionals and had little to no previous modelling experience. Some were friends of mine, while others were customers from Flaming Moth Shop, helping to create a more natural and authentic representation of the clothing.
