The Flannel is Wellington High School's magazine which is composed by both sixth ad seventh form journalism students. There are two issues of the Flannel which are published each year, the September issue is seventh form dominated and the November issue belongs to the sixth form. In either June or July my journalism teacher informed the sixth form class that we were expected to submit a column for our November issue. This column could be anything from an interview with a teacher or student, vox pops, reviews on absolutely anything, a quiz, photo shoot or anything else under the sun that you could think of which would be neat to have in the magazine. I chose to do a photo shoot and got on to it straight away.

The photo shoot consisted of three models, Mario, Zoe and Felicity who each displayed an outfit from the successful Wellington store, Good As Gold. A friend of mine, Martinique did the hair and make up and assisted me in the shoot. I took the photographs around Island Bay and had no real idea of what I wanted. Initially I was pleased with the photographs I took, but eventually grew tired of them and saw no real thrill. I was stuck on ideas and pissed off with what I had done, but Harry managed to make everything okay.


All of the photos I took were very simple and had no great angles or poses. To liven up the shoot Harry suggested that I edit the photos by cropping them all randomly as if I were going off on a little tangent. He also suggested that I should call the photo shoot: Tang-ent/ible

Harry's ideas were genius so I owe a lot of thanks to him for saving my photo shoot. The name was great because it helped to show the layout going off on a tangent and the clothes the models were wearing could be considered tangible. I am still a little unsure of what that really means, but it worked.


Tang-ent/ible was published in the November issue of the Flannel.

Thank you Good As Gold, Mario Kennach, Zoe Lahood, Felicity Milovanovich, Martinique Barbalic and Harry Gyde.
