Looking for Location

I apologize for the bad quality of photos in the post

Update
Recently I've been out and about looking for Locations to film my Extended Project advertising campaign. Yet in winter everything always seems so much uglier. I came up with many concepts, one being based around a bridge on a canal in a sort of 'rough' neighbourhood. I also decided to attempt a lookbook while I was at it. Yet as usual my sister failed me and no matter how much work I put into the images, photoshopping and contrasting, I still ended up with horrible shots. There was about 5 to choose from so not much choice to begin with. I went to about 4 different bridges and unfortunately they were all disappointments. Perhaps I should look at locations during spring. I really want this to be good, perhaps even something to go into my portfolio. We'll see. I am sure in the end I will end up settling with something average as I originally wanted to do it abroad.

As for the song it has no relevance to the post but is one of my favourite Bob Marley songs ever, covered by only my favourite artist ever. I think it's definitely worth a listen! Let me know down in the comments what you think of it. Also if anyone has any good concepts or places they think would be good to film at, I would be really interested to hear!
The lighting conditions as you can see where dreadful and I'm definitely interested in buying a light diffuser, the problem is how much money I'm going to end up spending. It's an investment though, I can presume I will be using it again in the future.
Fashion


Some of the new Armani shots are up! I have to say they are pretty good! Nadal did a way better job than Ronaldo. Is it odd I was expecting them to keep Megan Fox? She's really good at this and if anyone saw her in 'the tip' she was brilliant but most of her shots never seem to leave me in awe, the one below is probably my favourite.

So that's it! Sorry if it feels slightly rushed but I really wanted to post to see if anyone comes up with some good ideas! I picked out the first two themes from my little theme box and here they are: Hands and Paper. Hmm I can tell you I'm looking forward to reading this post as much as you are! Have a great rest of week, stay well and please fave/tweet/comment/love this post! Ty for reading ~
Under a tree in the sunshine? Spring hurry up!
