I've always been really interested in youth culture, particularly when it comes to fashion. This series of images were a part of my CACP II submission. I cast kids from a local youth centre, styling them with looks inspired by the mods and the skinheads. They were such fantastic models, with so much attitude. I was interested in the small details of their posture and the way they held themselves in front of the camera. I wanted to capture the idea of kids at an age where they discover fashion, and use it as a rebellion. Aesthetically speaking, I would have liked a different background (though it was pointed out in the critique that the colourful background was quite childlike and contrasted with the more adult styling. I don't reckon even I analyze my work that much, but anyway!) I just love how you can really see their personalities, such great kids to work with!
