When envisioning my B&W beauty editorial, I know I want it to be shot in an urban, city environment and the harsh lines and shapes of brutalist architecture really appeal to me. I particularly love how the buildings look when shot in black and white so this style of architecture is perfect for this editorial. Below are some inspiration images for the editorial.
One of the best-known examples of brutalism is the Barbican Estate in London. Built during the 60's and 70's, the estate is now Grade II listed. As I want the editorial to feature abstract shots of the buildings as well as images of the model on location, I am thinking of visiting the Barbican to photograph some of the buildings. This means I could use the buildings for some of the abstract shots but without the complications and expense of getting a model to London. I'll then shoot the rest of the shots at a location in Southampton.
The location in Southampton that I'm hoping to shoot at is Wyndham Court. This is the best example of Brutalist architecture in Southampton and is also Grade II listed. It's really close to my flat and the train station which makes it a really convenient location for the shoot.
