Nisha Haq Photography > Dood Looks Like A Lady

One of my most interesting and 'daring' shoots I've done to date. For 'Dood Looks Like a Lady' I decided to get my fabulous gay friend, Matt Giles to dress up as a transvestite for a an hour for my Photography chair project. After continuously seeing how the androgynous look is very in season (especially after the Andrej Pejic case of modelling both females & menswear) the fashion world is becoming more accepting and even promoting this fashionable 'transvestite' trend. This particularly intrigued me where I wanted to explore themes of burlesque styling with a modern 'twist'. I linked this in with my chair project as burlesque dancers often use a chair as part of their act so thought I'd mix these themes up.

For this shoot (shot in March 2011) I dressed Matt in my lingerie (was really funny doing this) with the aid of Lauhren Jones for dressing and some make up. I had asked him to bring in a wig just in case however chose not to use it as his neck length conditioned hair looked very silky and feminine anyway! Despite being very rushed for time as I could only book the college studio out for an hour I only had 15 minutes of good shooting. I thought Matt was a great first time model (especially in clothes out of his comfort zone!) and certainly worked the studio space and followed direction very easily. Here are some of the edited shots from the day:

Inimtacy Photography Project Final Pieces

Hey Everyone.

I put doing a fair amount of photography work with new projects and shoots. This entry will focus on my final piece prints for my A Level Photography course. This project I looked at intimacy and the different ways it can be portrayed photographically. In the end I decided to create a mock magazine 'Obscura' (as in Camera Obscura, Latin for dark chamber aka a camera) and create very minimalistic alternative front covers. I used photographs I had edited from this project as part of my final piece and presented it in magazine layout with little text so more emphasis was on the images. Tell me what you think (btw, I got an A for this project! Woop!) :D

RAG Day Pre Party Photos

You may have read my post on RAG Day Dress Up Photos post where people dressed up in Bridgwater College to raise money for charities. Well of course there was an RAG day college party in the evening at the Palace which was also the end of year party. I got ready at my friend, Matt's house where I took a few snaps enjoying ourselves whilst getting ready. Norah, Laura and Matt had quite a few shots, I must say! haha, I opted to stay sober as I had a £600 camera in my hands! haha

Posting some night life pics at the Palace party very soon! :D
