FEDISA COOKBOOK!

During our Visual Studies week we got a really interesting brief for an assignment which involved food photography. Myself and two other friends from the class got together and all did the assignment one afternoon. I loved this project! It was so nice to do something completely different as I had never done anything like it. We had to photograph the ingredients which would have been used in recipes. I went with an Italian theme. Using a puree creamy tomato soup for my starter, mushroom pasta for the main and a strawberry sorbet for my dessert. We all had such fun doing the models hairstyles and make up to suit the different recipes. All of my ingredients were photographed raw as they hadn't been cooked yet. Luckily our friend is an amazing, young and upcoming photographer who has all the equipment and lighting for a perfect photo shoot. He was able to give me helpful advice and fresh ideas on how to shoot the different food. I used my friend Jordyn for the modeling of the food and she looked beautiful in the shoot! I'm very pleased with how my photos came out and really enjoyed doing this assignment.

UPDATE

This week has been the final week for sewing our fifth garment for our graduation collection. For this outfit I incorporated a mix of brown and cream for the main part of my outfit and a touch of blue for the detail in the topstitching. I loved making this outfit because it has more of an elegant and girly appeal. I made a stretch, long sleeve top in nude brown with blue topstitching and eyelets and blue stretch string for the lace up. For the bottom half of my outfit I made a cream circle skirt which is very feminine. It is high waisted and full length to the floor with a lot of volume. This week I have also been working on my food photography assignment. A friend who happens to be a brilliant photographer was able to help me with my photographs which I am so happy with, they look amazing! Photos will be uploaded soon!
