STILL NOT ABLE TO FLY
This is the reason I have still not done a test in Le Touquet:
Probably makes as much sense to you as it does to me, but basically the good old english weather is providing too much low cloud and fog for the flight.
Going to try book the plane again for next weekend, so I will have progress to show in my tutorial.
Meeting with stylist tomorrow too (last week was cancelled). So once this is done I can get underway with my final shots.
Does anyone else think the deadlines have closed in ridiculously fast?!

10 UNBELIEVEABLE PRISON BREAKS
http://oddee.com/item_96931.aspx
The link above was partly responsible for me having the idea to break out of prison by digging underground, as opposed to jumping over the wall.
Also has some old and contemporary references of wanted posters and mugshots.

LONG OVERDUE PROGRESS UPDATE
Been seriously lacking inspiration recently, so I thought i'd do a (long overdue) blog post.
My feedback from the term 2 progress presentations was overall pretty positive, but the tutors still have a concern with the styling side of my project leaning to being 'tacky'.
The simple answer to this is that I don't give a shit about styling - don't really have much interest in that side of photography, so I will require a good stylist to boost that criteria up.
Found one on model mayhem that seems to fit the bill, so will be arranging to meet with him in the near future, to discuss ideas.
Ordered my second prison uniform which arrived today - The first being waaay too big for Zaneta.
The new one is an orange boiler suit, and fits her much better - after researching different prison uniforms it also looks very realistic.
Going to visit battersea dogs home tomorrow to look at a possible location, as well as go to the library to find case studies/books for my (f***ing annoying) dissertation.
Zaneta pointed me to fergie's 'glamorous' music video which is great inspiration for my plane shots too:

WARDROBE STYLIST, HAIR STYLIST & MUA CASTING CALL
Hi all,
You are most likely viewing this from my model mayhem casting call, so please read below for a clearer explanation of my photoshoot as well as details for each of the team.
So as I said over at model mayhem I'm a 3rd year fashion photography student at London College of Fashion, and am in need of a Wardrobe Stylist, a Hair Stylist and a Makeup Artist to collaborate with for my final major project, on a 'TFP' compensation.
The project will be a 15 image editorial with the theme of a Jailbreak (think Prison Break TV Show).
The storyboard for the editorial will start with the model breaking out of prison and then 'following' her escape from the police to try to get to France, which will ultimately be her freedom.
It will include scenarios like shoplifting for supplies, and being transported in a taxi to the airport.
I have access to a plane via a friend who is a qualified pilot, and the final few images will be taken both in the air and in Le Touquet, France.
This is a shot of the model I will be using:
Due to the nature of the editorial, it will require many different locations and at different times of the day (some at night-time), so the main criteria for you guys is that you are available on multiple days. This really is important.
The time frame I have for this editorial is from now until the end of April, so you must be living in London from now until then.
Regarding the Wardrobe Stylist:
You must be able to source and provide the clothes for the images, so therefore I require someone who has good contacts.
However, I can provide the prison and police uniforms.
The model is petite (5'2") so this will need to be taken into consideration with clothing.
I am mainly looking for someone who has access to fairly unusual, yet beautiful clothing, that will work well with my jailbreak theme.
Regarding the Hair Stylist:
I do not have any specific look for the models hair yet, so again you must be creative and come up with different looks that will compliment the styling.
I may incorporate the use of wigs into my idea to tie in with the storyline of the model disguising herself from authorities, so may need to work on wigs. However this is just an idea at present, and depends on the accessibility of the wigs.
Regarding the Makeup Artist:
The model is naturally very pretty so I am looking for a makeup artist who can provide their creative input and come up with various different looks that will compliment the styling.
You must be available over various days, and to do a test.
If you think you are suited to what I am looking for (and still awake!) after reading this then please leave me a message, either via this blog or over at my model mayhem casting call and I will get back to you asap.
Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you all!

LAW AND ORDER - STEVEN MEISEL
Another editorial by Steven Meisel (W Magazine, March 2009) that relates well to my jailbreak topic.
Thanks to Zaneta for finding this one.
Really great inspiration in terms of styling and 'prison-like' setting.
Only let down by Peaches Geldof...it seems more and more non-talented nobodies are finding their way to pages in magazines.
This girl should not model!
Jeez.
Anyway, the shoot:
