I was drawn to the brief for the British Heart Foundation instantly as it will be fun to achieve a set of photographs for such a good cause.The theme for the competition is red for heart. The only rule of the competition is that red must be incorporated somewhere into my photographs.

The End
Today is handing in day for the brief. This brief has most definitely been my favourite of all the projects that we have done since starting the course in September.When first receiving the brief my first instinct was to incorporate red heart balloons as they link the celebration and the meaning of the Heart Foundation in one. My main influence during this project has been Tim Walker his work is an inspiration to me. I love his use of colour and how the image looks so glamorous and outrageous. I wanted to create images that celebrate the 50th Birthday of the Heart Foundation in a fun but eye catching manor. I feel i have most defininitely achieved what I set out to do. The location I wanted to look romantic and that when researching the area on the river Dee in Chester that this was the ideal location. The model who I wanted to have a 1950s pin-up style look was dressed in a nautical striped skirt, i thought this would be a good link as we were on location on the river. Also the leopard print top because leopard print is very on trend at the moment and clashed with the red of the balloons. One of my Loves is my Vivienne Westwood jewellery so I also used them in the shoot. Overall I am very happy with the images I have created. I feel this project was more enjoyable than the last as I was able to put down my own ideas and create images that I new would work. The thought of using a blog scared me at the beginning but I have loved using it to view all my ideas and show my research and I would used the my blog again in the future to do this for other projects.
