Member showcase: Planning Projects with Mood Boards (Heather Fryer)
Heather Fryer has been a photographer for over 15 years and using Photoshop for almost 5 years.
When Heather was young, she was influenced by her grandmother who was an artist and a painter. She taught her about shadow and light and the use of colour. After raising a family Heather decided to try her hand at photography. She started out doing family portraits and eventually got into shooting a wide variety of subjects including cars and bikes. Heather spent a few years shooting fashion and had a desire to bring her imagination to fruition through Photoshop. Heather is well known for coming up with unique ideas and perspectives. She has a love of old movies (film noir in particular) and old stories. She will see something and suddenly she will get an idea for a shoot. Her projects will often take months to develop using mood boards to define the details of the shoot. She is very particular about her choices of designers, models and hair and makeup artists. After all the action of the shoot is over her editing process can sometimes take days or even weeks to get it exactly right. Heather leans towards darker stories and imagery with a high contrast between dark and light, with vivid colours and crisp details. She has a unique style that is instantly recognizable. All of her work has a story to it, but everyone who views it has their own idea of what the story means to them. |
