Chosen Magazine: Lula

I decided to choose Lula as my magazine. I feel the look of my shoot works really well with this type of magazine. The images in Lula are very vintage, girly and simple looking which I love. Its very Dreamy, whimsical and quirky, Lula Magazine's pages consist of gorgeous fashion, kooky articles and art work presented from a wide variety of illustrators, journalists and creators

Ive never brought Lula magazine before but will definitely be buying it again.

These images are from issue 12 called 'girl of my dreams'.

My favorite article is the one above and below. The use of colours within the images such as the pastel pinks and greens really link into my final photographs from my own shoot.

I like how the images are laid out above. This is something I will consider when re-editing my final images for my portfolio.

Final Shots.

First edit.
I  first started to edit my images in this way however decided to go against this look. I wanted my images to look very retro. I feel some look too dark and didn't quite work as well together. I also felt it went against my idea of using pastel colours. The images when edited in this way were very bright . However I do really like this technique and will consider using it again in future projects.

Chosen Jigsaw Puzzle.

Originally I would have liked to use a jigsaw with the picture being a painting of fruit displayed in a fruit bowl. I wanted it to be very antique looking. However after searching many charity shops I found nothing similar to this

I decided to create my own using a cardboard jigsaw template. The jigsaw would only be seen in the images ever so slightly. I used two images which I had taken myself and changed my idea completely. It was very tricky making my own and extremely time consuming. It was very hard to make sure the image covered the whole jigsaw piece perfectly.

Here are the two images I chose to cover my jigsaw pieces.
