1960's teen juxtaposed with 1980's teen fashion. | Photographer: Amy Boyd Models:| Beth Wilson and Caitlin Hamilton

Posted by Amy Boyd on November 09, 2014 in

Brilliant shoot! I had tons of fun photographing my friends Beth and Caitlin. They are two extremely photogenic people and i knew they would be perfect for the shoot as they have very unique styles as well as them both being very different from one another. This shoot was done last year in the chilling month of October. I especially wanted to do a shoot in the dark experimenting with the flash settings on the DSLR i have. I love the way the two teenagers differentiate from each other, this was one of the reasons i chose to take my photography in this direction as i liked the whole eccentric vibe. I directed the subjects to be as natural as possible...expressing real emotions of happiness. I especially like the 7th photograph down as this is very true emotion and i love the colourings all colliding together but strangely working well. So raw, so pure. I wanted to make the shoot look older so i added grain using photoshop but as i said in the last post i will be posting all edited work separately in another post. So have a look at my work here and feel free to leave a comment telling me what you thought of it!

80's themed tots! Photographer: | Amy Boyd Models: | Luke, Joe and Cailan Docherty

Posted by Amy Boyd on November 05, 2014 in

Modern day children portraying a 1980's style fashion.

These little munchkins are three out of the five i have, Joe is four, Cailan is three and Luke is 6 on this shoot, they are close brothers and all have a brilliant sense of humour and perfect individual personalities, i love them to pieces. I wanted to do a fun and extremely cute shoot with the boys as they love the camera and are very photogenic! It was a freezing cold day in October last year but i couldn't resist...the location was perfect for the theme of the shoot i thought, i love the matured walls and the splashes of green and baby pink along with the rouge bricks juxtaposing with the young ones outfits! I had them do quite concentrated expressions as if they noticed something from a far. I'm not going to lie it was difficult keeping them interested and directing them, but i loved the special time we were sharing together while producing amazing photographs that the boys can look back on when they're a bit older. Some of the photographs i have posted aren't as serious as others as i thought they let the fun element shine through! I will try and post the edited ones sometime soon to give you an insight into which direction i took the shoot. The next post i am looking to make are the Wizard Of Oz themed photographs that i did again with my nephews as seen here but along with a smaller addition to the bunch little Taylor! i'll get those up ASAP for you to feast your eyes on if you love colourful and expressive photography then this is for you! Keep your eyes peeled.

sending happiness to everyone,

Experimenting 1970-80'S fashion with my Nan! | Photographer: Amy Boyd | Model: Shirley Allen

Posted by Amy Boyd on October 24, 2014 in

Lets go back to the 1980's!

I did this shoot about a year ago now and looking back it feels just like yesterday! I wanted to put these up on the blog as i feel like they are very much worthy of showcasing...i mean come on! Who doesn't love an adorable old lady wearing 1980's style fashion just like she would have back in the day well...maybe her children would have anyway! But i wanted to try out something different and experiment a little. I figured, why not. My Nan was very much up for the whole thing so we went ahead and one day last year in chilly october me and my Nan went outside her house in the back lane and i worked my magic with the camera while she soaked up all the attention and enjoyed posing, haha! I've got to say the most funniest thing about doing this was we had to be quick as my Nan didn't want any of her friends to bump into her dressed like she was from the 80's as you can guess it is EXTREMELY far away from her usual OOTD look. A cute fluffy patterned cardy, smart pants or skirt and comfy flat shoes is what you would normally find my Nan wearing. But don't worry i didn't force her to smoke the cigarette she had smoked since she was in her 20's up until this year as she has given up completely and packed in the cigarettes for good and im proud of her for that. The shoot was to send the message out that you feel as young as you are on the inside and your clothes should reflect this, don't comply with the times...be who you want to be, wear what you want! BE CONFIDENT. It was also to show the contrast in the way a person changes within time and how fashion goes out of trend and new ones come in. The matured brick wall contrasts with the colourings of the subject and juxtaposes with the softness of her complexion due to her soft skin with the natural lighting.
