Editorial Fashion Photography
Student photography projects by Selma Bjørnseth Hegstad throughout the years.
2020 - December90s fashion
Fashion in the 90s consisted of several styles. For this fashion photography series, Selma focused on the party scene and celebrity culture, influenced by the grunge and punk styles, popular during the 90s.
After researching 90s fashion and celebrity photos, Selma discovered these items were often used:
Chokers
Cat-eye or round sunglasses
Dark eye makeup and brown-toned lipstick
Knee socks
Plattform boots
Dark colours and black leather

2020 - JanuaryStockings
For this fashion photography project, Selma wanted to create an image commercializing the garment, stockings, towards the target age group of 15-25.
The message intended to be: “Buy stockings; stockings are youthful and cool.”
2020 - AprilMental health
Still in the editorial category, but this project was about making a cover for a fictional mental health magazine.
Today, Selma is not happy with the colour editing on her magazine cover, nor with the typography and composition choices made in 2020.

«Whenever I photograph a model, I make a plan before shooting, but I always end up experimenting during the session. Sometimes the unplanned photo is better than the planned one.»
