Lulu, Black and White version
File: 2016001-0004
Near the Newport City Footbridge over the River Usk, in the city of Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd), Gwent, Wales (Cymru), United Kingdom, on Friday 29th January 2016.
Photos were taken opposite the Friars Walk Shopping Centre, and the Kingfisher Shopping Centre, next to the A4042 known as Usk Way. It is also near the University of South Wales, Newport City Campus.
About this photograph.
Lulu, a model booked for a two-hours outdoors photo-shoot, is wearing a typical women’s winter outfit. She is seen posing in a size XL animal print faux fur coat from Roman Originals, along with her own dark blue jeans tucked into her own brown flat-heeled knee-length boots with full length zippers. She is also wearing a casual top under the fur coat, not seen in the photos. The weather was gloomy with light winds hence her hair is sometimes seen flying in the wind.
At that time of the photo-shoot, I had an idea for a graphic design project, which was to create a non-existence fictional television series DVD case cover (or as Apple’s iTunes Store would call it “album art”) and a DVD boxset. For this, I would prefer to use my own photographs to go into my own design, rather than using stock photographs.
The idea is that the leading character, named Kimberley, would be someone juggling between her personal life at home, and her job working for the police. The plot of the stories is mainly crime or murder mystery and detective drama, with her family and relationship problems as a sub-plot.
So I asked Lulu, to pose as if the leading character is lost in thoughts on the subject of her personal problems, and of the police investigation. Lulu did a great way of posing for the kind of photographs I needed, and thankfully the gloomy damp weather seems to give a better illustration for the photos I needed.
I have previously uploaded a colour version of this, you can see it in the Album titled “Lulu” or jump to the last page of my Photostream to view it. I figured to use Adobe Lightroom to convert it into Black and White, then adjust different levels, to try to make it different.
About the subject(s).
Roman Originals was originally established in 1957 in Birmingham. The family owned business started as a ladieswear manufacturing company, making various ladies outfits including daywear, eveningwear, workwear, and outerwear. They design and made women’s outfits for all ages and of various sizes from 10 to 22.
In 1998, Roman Originals opened their first retail shop, and over time, expanded to a chain of about 150 shops in the United Kingdom. They later renamed to simply Roman, but still trading as Roman Originals Plc.
Kimberley is simply a title for a fictional crime/police story I came up with, and used this as a base for a graphic design project. The project was to create a (non-existence) fictional television series DVD case cover and a DVD Boxset packaging.
