Photoshoot final image



I have submitted three images I particularly like form my photo shoot on deadline day. I am happy with the outcome as it tells the story of the character and compliments the background well. For the final major show, I wish to present these pieces on a white mannequin, and I will subsequently be re-using these pieces in another photo shoot.

Fixing leather and steel with rivets

Once the leather belts had been secured with contact adhesive, I noticed that bolts were needed to clamp the two together securely. The workshop staff suggested using a rivet gun to clamp the two materials together. This workes but distorting the metal and puncturing a pin in place. To aid with the placements of the rivets, I firstly drilled holes through the leather before using the rivet gun to clamp the two.

Welding the wings in position

Each end if wire that runs through the wings has been spot welded onto the thicker, welding wire. This in turn was then spot welded onto the steel plate and further welded together for good measure.
