You're so worth it, you are.

MUSIC: Ellie Goulding - Guns and Horses
MOOD: Mardy

Well, i've decided to take my blog into a different direction now, got annoyed with the whole "One picture every day for a year" thing. Not completely as its still running on my Facebook page if anyone misses it, or wants to take a look on there (http://www.facebook.com/#!/poppy.holla.frost). I felt it was junking up my blog too much, a different post for every single day, just got annoying, and then i'd end up leaving it weeks and weeks before i got round to uploading.

So, the music and mood idea came from a blog that i follow, but i thought it would be a good idea? Just to remind myslef of songs really, and see how much my music taste actually differs over the weeks, months and years. Also, i think mood is a good one, as the tone of the blog rant is set by mood surely. And todays is mardy, therefore you're in for a treat.

So i am just basically annoyed by people in my hometown. Why is it that as soon as you move away from somewhere people jump straight into your shoes and try living your old life? Erm, HELLO?! I am still alive and i can see what you're doing via your 30 million Facebook updates every day, tell you what why don't you move in to my house and have my boyfriend too. People who call themselves "friends", but then honestly if our "friendship" goes by the same standards that your others do, then you'll be slagging me off to anyone who'll listen, ripping my achievements to pieces and snaking my boyfriend. So i'm sure i'm more than greatefull you're my friend, for all your love, support and advice... Grow up?

On a much lighter note, finally got round to editing some images i shot of Aimee in the studio at University a couple of weeks ago. The outcome is very good, i like the cleaness of them and the essence of perfection they give off. It has intrigued me into doing some more studio work, especially with Aimee, i feel we maybe need to work on the posing a little bit more, but she has a good presence in the images.

This was my favourite image from the whole shoot (so far) i've not properly looked through them all as the files were so large and i couldn't fit them all onto my memory stick. I think the white background works really well here as it makes you focus on the clothes and on the model. A massive thank you to Aimee for modeling, hope i've done her proud with these.

Got a photoshoot to do tomorrow for my Noise brief at University, our given genre is "Contempory Music" and the sub genre of that i have chosen is "Alternative" as i feel this related the best to my own personal music taste. I have decided to do the shoot in a local pub/bar in my hometown. I felt as though this would be a good setting as a lot of small bands and singers of the alternative music genre start out their career doing gigs in local pubs and bars until they get popular or signed. My model from the photoshoot i have just done (Aimee) is helping me, along with another friend from my hometown. I've borrowed an acoustic guitar, some tambourines and also some microphones from other friends, to make the two of them look more like a band.

I've collected some images from the internet of Jack O'connell who plays Cook in series 3 and 4 of the British teen drama Skins. He has quite an edgy style in the series mixing what i would call "chav style" with "punk style". I also think he is VERY attractive, he's got that bad boy image that i think makes every girl a little bit excited deep down. I've also looked at general alternative fashion, hoping i'd find inspiration and an idea for the styling. The best image i've found is this one..

I really love the styling on this image, the pose is also really interesting, a different take on the conventional fashion shots. The fashion is really interesting, the sort of thing i would like to achieve from my shoot. Its obviously not my own image, can't quite remember where i found it though (sorry).

For now, sleep is calling, i've got a long drive tomorrow. I'll update with images and information from the shoot as soon as i get round to it. Also you might notice the blog layout may be changing from time to time, i'm trying to find one i like, and more importantly, one i can understand.

Ciao bella. ♥
