COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
BA (Hons)
Amy PlumbridgeFemale Form
I am a fashion and portrait photographer based in the North East. I have just graduated from The Northern School of Art with a First Class Honours degree in Commercial Photography and now soon to be embarking on a Master’s Degree. Throughout my work I have had the constant aim of portraying a natural approach to photographing a subject, as we now live in a world where heavy retouching is almost a daily occurrence, I wanted to support the reality and beauty of the female form. I am always looking for new work so feel free to get in touch.

Mike HensonCircus of Masculinity
This work serves as the beginning of a wider project with the intention of showcasing a spectrum of masculinity and bringing representation to men divergent from the traditional masculine ideal. Commercialising divergent masculinities and creating editorial pieces allows for greater representation through the likes of advertising. Playing with contrasts, mirroring that of masculinity and femininity, with the use of fertile colours meeting neutral tones, soft dream-like settings opposing brutalist urban structures, sensual, almost contrappostic posing, reminiscent of Greek statues set against linear environments.

Olivia BarrassFashion Portraiture
Over the course of my degree, I found myself being captivated by Fashion Portraiture. For me, working and meeting new people is something that I really enjoy and has enabled me to push myself out my comfort zone. It is important to get to know the person I am shooting and to establish trust, through this I feel I am able to capture the subject in the best way possible. I love capturing an image with sharp focus and strong composition usually with the model’s eyes looking directly into the lens. My aim is not for people to just glance at my work, I want people to find themselves drawn into the image. When COVID-19 sent everyone into lockdown I didn’t want to stop creating work. So I began doing FaceTime Shoots, where I have been able to work with models from all over the world. Turning a negative situation into a positive!

My work is focused on fashion, mainly focused on street wear. I have spent the last few years trying to push myself to become better and more confident at photography, slowly creating my own style along the way, part of that style is shooting in outdoor locations where there’s a lot of life about which is why I like shooting in big cities. I’ve always been interested in fashion so to be able to combine that and the locations I enjoy shooting at always makes it enjoyable.

April JohnsonI Am..
This body of work was created as an experiment to see how much the media has put an impression on to women as to what plus size is. The women in this project came forward to me and asked to be a participant as they truly believe they fit in to the plus size category due to the things we see in day to day media profiles. The reason it is called “I AM...” is because I wanted the women to pick something they felt about them selves whether this was negative or positive.
