Hollaaaaa!
My name is Josie Cathy Roberts. I do fashion design at BCU. I am in my second year; going university is the best thing I have done so far.
I have a huge passion for photography; my dream would be to go into Styling expect of the fashion world and to have some kind of career in that business. It all sounds so exciting!
I do my own freelance Photography out side of university to basically start a portfolio soon ready for when I graduate. I am still learning something new with photography every day.
I successfully have a GSCE in Photography but there is a lot I don't know that I would love to know, hopefully that's where my work experience will come when I get some. :)
After Fashion design I may even do a course on Photography separately so I will know both expects of my favorite subjects :)
I love styling- I have done photography for a few weddings now and help style them and get ready in the morning which is always fun because I love weddings! When you get asked to be such a big part in someones day like that, It brings you just as much excitement.

Boyfriend clothes...


 MY OUTFIT TODAYYY :)

Just by buttoning up your shirt can make your outfit look complete different. It doesn't matter what you wear your shirts with, by buttoning up your shirts looks smart & classy. I dunno about you but it makes me feel like a boy and I should be wearing my boyfriend jeans!
I LOVE purple! This shirt is my favorite! :) <3

It has little gold buttons the whole way down but I think it makes the shirt just that little bit more fancy and better than plain black buttons.
I will get photos but I have changed the buttons on some of my clothes with other cute little buttons like bows; got rid of the boring black ones and amazingly it changes a lot. Looks cute! Photos yet to come!

Purple sleeveless shirt; £19.99 New Look.

Little Bow Peep...



Topshop Red bow Headband £12

(Above)I brought this headband ages ago which I found in my room just the other week; I love to wear it with my hair down as it looks very 60's and I feel like a house wife haha!
And it completes any outfit with different color ribbon!



                                                Red lace or white ribbon- £0.60p a meter. 
I had a long day at uni Yesterday and I just shoved my hair up so it was a complete mess by the time I traveled home from Birmingham. I had some Red lace in my ribbon box which added a nice little touch to my pony tail and I thought it looked really nice!
Therefore I put ribbon in my hair all the time from now on; reminds me of when I was younger and I used to watch Matilda all the time! LOVE that film aha!
If you don't have any ribbon then you can get some from any textiles or fabric stores.

Grandma's Wardrobe...





 My whole wardrobe is full of various cardigans in all different fabrics... I just love them! I used these for my texture when it came to my photo-shoot for my concept for Adobe Photoshop module. I don't have the best Wardrobe, I wish I could go shopping everyday! I feel like I always need new clothes! 
 I LOVED every second of this little shoot. Obvious you wont catch your Grandma wearing stockings like I have done on the model but I tried to make my photo-shoot be a mix with a new trend at the time. Which actually worked well! :) 
I remember it was very cold that day! My friend Hollie; bless her... I always make her wear hardly anything in the freezing cold! haha!
Lemme know what you think :)

My fashion illustration

   
I have to admit, drawing is not my best quality therefore photoshop is heaven for me! I use my own Photography to draw from (attempt to) and then upload it to Photoshop to color in and to make it more professional with various textures; which in all fairness I was very proud of when finished.
I hope you like them :)

Little freelance...

  

I LOVE to do styling; and to do my own freelance photography when I get the opportunity is amazing!!. I have been to various weddings where I helped them get ready in the morning, and spent the whole day with them until they cut the cake! Weddings are always fun and its a great experience to be a big part of their special day. To see their faces and get such natural photos is beautiful! I get caught in the moment and I end up getting all sorts of photos throughout the day. I thought I would share just some of my photographs so you can see the way I work.
   

     

        

Just a little photo-shoot...

  

This time last year I was really excited about having my first concept for my conceptual materials and form module. I had all my locations thought out before I had even done my shoot! I guess you know your going to do well as soon as your mind gets all these amazing ideas and you cant wait to start. I did well in this module because its something I had a good feeling about. I had to make garment for materials and form which to be honest I'm not good at making. The skills are there but need improving; but for my first making module I didn't think I did too bad!
I looked at tone for one of my concepts and related back to my final designs and photography shoot at the end.
I thought about shape, silhouette when designing and making my garment; I used wire in the skirt to get this effect.
When it came to my shoot I looked for somewhere where there would be a lot of shadow for the tones I wanted in my photographs. Lucky another concept as seasons as it was snowing that day! :D
I found trees in my location and took the opportunity to successfully take advantage and I had a wonderful day! I felt sorry for my friend Hollie though as it was very cold!
