Final Lycra Studio Shots

This was the last time I had the studio and wanted to make the most of it. I have worked with Sophie Lee the dancer most of this project. Therefore, she understood what I was trying to achieve. I looked through my images using the Lycra and thought what I liked and didn't like and what I wanted to try and photograph. I liked the one where her face was tucked in and you couldn't tell where her head was so I wanted to try some without her face stretching through.

Below is an example

Another thing I noticed when looking through the Lycra images was that a lot if not most of them, Sophie's legs were spread apart and she was stood up straight so I wanted to capture some where she was at different heights whether that was on knelt on the floor or her legs bent

Below is an example of her knelt down on the floor.

I also got the dancer to lift her foot up some she is standing on one leg to see what effect it would give the fabric and it is different but because the fabric is not stitched at the bottom you can see parts of the fabric hanging down taking away the illusion that she is restricted within the fabric

Below is the images in which the dancer is stood on one leg

One of my favourite is the image below. I asked to stretch up and she did I liked the form that was created. Her foot is a step back and her knees are slightly bent so there is still some shape but I like how her arms and legs are extended making it look surreal and she looks to become thin and disappearing symbolizing the fabric is making her feel more constricted and it looks like she it starting to disappear.

Below one of my favourites

Overall, I am happy with the images I have captured throughout this project and I have enjoyed it and would like to continue working with dancers and fabric and critiquing the concept behind the idea of how dancers are free when dancing but they are bound to do certain styles and moves.
