Up-and-coming photographer @Lesedi_Mothoagae who won best visual techniques in his final year of Multimedia Technology Design at the University of Johannesburg in 2016, is adding to his already-impressive portfolio with a brand new lookbook. In the series, titled August Skies, Lesedi stays true to his signature bold, authentic look while also adapting his style for the fashion industry. He plays with natural light, simplistic backgrounds and experimental angles, making the photographs more art than advertising. Both the outfits — styled by @Nao_Serati — and the makeup, by @Orlioh , pop with intense colour, proclaiming individuality | story from @10and5 | written by aimee-clairesmith | #visualtechnique #between10and5 #lesedimothoagae #afrobougee #nouveaunoir #whatisbalck #augustskies #design #individuality #blackmen

for our another visual technique plate, we asked to make an entourage. i made a fashion store that is based on my favorite fashion luxury brand and just play a little with the name so i may not be copyright haha. but anyways, the structure of the building was originally designed by me. i’m not sure if there is an existing building that is the same as my work, but i can asure you that this one is just made by my mind hehe. 

this is called pen and ink techniques on stills. for me, the hardest technique would be the scribbling because it is hard to maintain the lightness of the shade. the most time consuming is the stippling but it is easy to control the shading part. 

i made some peacock feathers inspired headpiece. it is made from old scratch papers that is no longer used. it actually have no concept regarding to my work, it’s just that when i hear the word head dress or headpiece, i imagine a big peacock feather-like head dress that’s why i came up with this concept. i also added some paper-made chains that adds some style. 

another plate from our visual technique course. we draw our left hand while our right hand is the one doing the work. it was quite hard to maintain because you’re only using one hand. but i got the hang of it and use some technique to easily get my job done :))

another plate from visual techniques. it’s called shadowing techniques. we have to make some unrealistic geometric shapes and add some lighting and correct shadows to it. i actually had a hard time doing this one because i’m not that good in adding some shadows in my drawings. but i can say that i’ve done pretty well on this technique :))
