James Nader

Here is another photographer that i researched when i was doing my fashion on location photography. His work didn't have have as much impact on me as just Justin grant, but i liked James Nader's ideas and locations he had shoot his models in. I thought practically about his work and what i would be able to organize location-wise and here are some of the locations that i thought i would be able to organize and meby produce better imagery.

Images were taken from: http://www.jamesnader.com/fashion_2009.html

This idea of a mulin rouge theme really appealed to me, I love theatrical costumes like phantom of the opera-corsets big dresses etc. So when i saw these images it instantly made me want to give his a try. We have a local theater which is still set out old fashioned and styled with the typical red velvet seats etc. And from doing a theater related course within college i think my local theater were very helpful with helping students and getting them involved.So another of my ideas was to give them a ring or go in and explain what my assignment is at the present moment and ask them if i could use there theater when there was no performances going on, to borrow the stage and surrounding for a couple of hours etc. This is another idea i am considering but i don't want to bother them until i have definitely decided on.I also need to do some research on a reportage approach to these ideas. Maybe iff i was to go in as i said they may allow me to report, document the actors getting ready with there makeup and costumes. Like behind the scenes on a fashion cat walk with the models getting ready etc-i have another 2  photographers who documented london fashion week, and a victoria secrets catwalk.
