Design Practice III//Negotiated Briefs//Jessie Leong & Mert & Marcus Piggot.




Another cited inspiration, and avenue for research, as given by photographer Jessie Leong, whose branding I intend to develop as one of my negotiated briefs, is the portfolio and brand of Mert & Marcus, famed fashion photographers whose work has graced the cover of Love, Dazed and Confused, and French Vogue, to name a few.
The photographic partnership and portfolio is largely inspired by beautiful, sophisticated and powerful women, and capturing their emotions and personality as well as their beauty and elegance in equal measure- which has lead the pair to define and lead the way in both hair and make up as well as digital manipulation, leading them to be one of the key photographers in both their professional work, and respect of their contemporaries working today.

I think the work of Mert & Marcus, and their aspirations for their brand and identity is perfectly reflected in Jessie's own portfolio, and I hope that my developments in term of her brand can be reflective of her strong ambition and portrayal of her models.
