Flaunt Magazine

When looking for Fashion Editorials to inspire me, I stumbled across this fantastic shoot of Leighton Meester for 'Flaunt Magazine'. Photographed with the novel 'Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit' as an inspiration, the seventies inspired shoot graced the cover of Flaunt Magazine in November 2012.

Donning the iconic Vidal Sassoon 'bob', Meester is seen cosying up to another female form. This shot is something that I found extremely interesting, the positioning of the two women and the use of black and white in Post Production has created a heavy and sexual shot. There is a feeling of lust about the shot but the way the model touching Meester is positioned, facing away from the reader creates a sense of mystery.

I was mostly drawn to the lighting of this shot. The over exposed Post Production that has been added to this shot is something that drew my eye. The subtle connotations of religion with the jewellery lying on the floor, crosses strewn across the carpet are something which I feel has been executed very well. This subtle styling and creative composition of the shot are something which I would like to play around with when it comes to storyboarding my three chosen moments/shots.
