Fashion SpreadAll of the fashion spread images work together as the clothes all follow the same theme. I also used a lot of the same editing techniques in each photo for example the orange and white overlay is on each image making them look part of a set. I kept the same font running through all of the images to keep the theme.

The images work well with my magazine front covers as they all showcase the clothing and keep a similar theme running through the whole shoot. My theme was Smart, my model was dressed smartly and all of the photographs where taken in a natural environment contrasting the clothes. Using the same background and editing techniques allows the images to work very well in a set.
