Costumes for the double page spread and poster shoot

Before I participated in the photo shoot for the two auxillary tasks it was essential I had an understanding and clear picture in my mind about the article of clothing the model would be wearing, this would allow me to be prepared in knowing what postures/poses to conduct them in and to ensure the costumes would correspond correctly with the effect and overall look I would be attempting to present to the audience in the products. Since I already had a vague idea of what I desired the model to be clothed in anyways this was not a particularly difficult task in my court and was solved very rapidly. Below is a set of images of what was required for the model to wear during the photo shoot to conventionally follow the theme I was going for.

For the double page spread image I wanted to highlight the emaciation anorexia causes physically to the sufferer, therefore all attention would be directed away from the face and focused upon the body. To achieve the maximum amount of shock i could elicit from the audience I wanted the model to be portrayed in baggy clothes as essentially this emphasises the detrimental effects on the body. I asked for as loose fitting clothes as possible - here I was indulged with a large knit sweater and a pair of leggings which would perfectly illiterate the overall starvation on the models frame, this would hopefully go un noticed by the viewing public.

The final costume I required was an airy, floaty kind of article that would justify an 'innocent' persona to the model, the idea behind this is the anorexic is 'innocent' to the devastation that is occurring around them because of their mental illness. Moreover it emphasises the childlike frame that they are bestowed upon as their physical starvation his critical levels, therefore they are reduced to a 'child's body' in essence. This was the first image I looked at for the ideas for the models costume and I instantly recognised this was the piece to be used in the final photoshoot. It is visually presented as a dress a young infant girl would wear and I believe would perfectly back up the childlike meaning I am distributing through the image itself.
