The Old Station, off the A446, near Tintern, Monmouthshire, Wales, United Kingdom. Tuesday 2nd February 2016.
The photograph.
Sally, a model booked for an outdoor photo-shoot, is seen here modelling in her own blue jeans tucked into her own flat-heeled below-knee length boots with side zippers. She is also modelling a size XL/16 Brave Soul brand leopard-print faux fur jacket with a hood. Here she is posing next to two old but restored carriages at The Old Station, Tintern, during the typical British winter.
Brave Soul.
Brave Soul is a British fashion brand established in 1972 by the company Whispering Smith, and is the UK’s largest distributor of fashion to high street shops and to online stores worldwide. It grew from a small fashion brand to a global brand offering the best of British design and street style.
Whispering Smith was founded in Manchester in 1967. It started as a family-owned business, and grown to one of the largest suppliers of young fashion. They also have two more brands, and their own wholesales warehouse.
The Old Station.
The Old Station was a former railway station near the town of Tintern, on the long since disused Wye Valley Railway line. The line was a 15 miles long railway line running between the towns of Chepstow and Monmouth in Wales. It opened in 1876, was operated by the Great Western Railway often abbreviated as GWR, until it was taken over by British Rail which then closed the line in 1964.
The rail station was bought and refurbished into a café and exhibition, it is open to the general public. Monmouthshire Country Council bought a couple of old carriages which were refurbished as gift shop, tourism information, and an exhibition. The two carriages are displayed on what is left of the old rail tracks.
The Project.
I booked Sally for a two-hours photo-shoot project, which was to be split into two parts. The first part was to be a winter fashion photography, and the second part was to be fur fetish photography. Before meeting up for the photo-shoot, I was in email communications with her and requested that she wears some casual outfit, specifically the jeans tucked into boots style, she was to bring a few change of her own tops or blouses, and that I would bring along some of the faux fur coats.
The project was to double as both a stand-alone range of photos, and as part of a graphic design work. What I mean is that the photos can be stand-alone, like just simply the photos displayed on their own, such as framed on a wall or posted online (like Flickr), or that they can be imported into some graphic design work I may be doing, like creating a fashion catalogue.
As I have been a very busy full-time single parent and carer, my photography and graphic design skills were getting rusty. Thankfully as the kids were much older and attending school, I could be able to get to try to do some work for myself, and attempt to refresh my skills, plus build up a portfolio.
I had not been able to find a suitable outdoor location, however it was Sally who lived in Wales, suggested The Old Station, near Tintern, and it was suitable for my projects.
