Naomi Fielding- BA (Hons) Fashion Art Direction
'Bloomed' Fashion Photographic Editorial & 'Be Your Own Goddess' Montage Video
'Bloomed' Fashion Editorial: Hello, my name is Naomi Suzuki Fielding, and I am a Manchester-based graduate Fashion Art direct student with a driving passion for photographic manipulation/photoshop, photography, maximalism, vibrant colours, music, and anything that can attract my creative eye. I love taking photographs, then use my creative visions and imagination to wow viewers with an AI sort of unrealistic, manipulated pieces. Using life experiences and converting them into artistic imagination and visually pleasing images, creating a deeper meaning relating pieces through my Japanese heritage ( growing up in Japan at a young age ) and personal/mental struggles that I have overcome using my alchemist technique. An 'alchemist': not labelling past experiences as 'negatives' and instead replacing them with a positive forward push to create more artistic visuals. To make this description sound easier to understand, I will attach my portfolio, Instagram, and my current works here.
'Be Your Own Goddess' Montage Video: ‘Gift of the Broken Things' editorial: representing the renewal of creative souls as they authentically express themselves in responses to my own life experiences, dealing with judgments and negative projections from external beings and mindsets. This editorial, 'Gift of the Broken Things', represents the concept of 'Wabi Sabi' and 'Kintsugi' as Japanese phrases inspired by my half-Japanese culture. 'Wabi Sabi' defines the beauty of imperfections and the growth and decay in life, representing that no matter how unique, authentic, and genuine we are, we will still get judged for our actions and the way we do things. These imperfections are what make our lives come together like yin and yang. This concept of mixing the combination of both the broken perceived bits of our lives (negative feelings) with the positive ones, these actions of mending the broken pieces into our present days with loving attention, further create a transformation of beauty and art in how we see life overall. It is symbolic of a broken plate, with the pieces glued together with golden paint, which represents the 'Kintsugi' concept.
