Evaluation


With this project i thought it was a lot better than last year a lot easier to understand, i liked the idea  of doing two shoots one black and white and one colour and to have the with natural make-up was nice, at first i found it difficult to find models but found two in the end that would fit their work around mine, i thought after seeing that people were choosing younger models, so i chose to use my mum as she's an older lady and not the typical young fresh faced female, i also chose to do two themes i didn't think would get used, Christmas spirit and winter daze.

Over all i really enjoyed this project as i found it clearer and more enjoyable.

With my final pieces im very pleased with them.

Mood board planning

Mood Board Planning Practising


We picked a random word from the dictionary, with that word made a mind map, to map out ideas for a shoot,using images from magazines we created a mood board to show ideas of what you want for the shoot, to narrow it down we were asked to remove some of the images for a final mood board, we had to make it so that the photographer, hair stylist, make up artist and fashion stylist know what they have to do just by looking at it.

These are pictures of the evolution of my mood board.

Final Black and White photographs



I chose to base this shoot on Christmas spirit, by using tinsel as a prop and poses that symbolises the moods of Christmas, a soft box was used to create the softness and effect.
I used basic make-up by applying a small amount of base with light contour, my model has naturally big eyes so i used false eye lashes to enhance the fullness of her lases and to make her eyes appear smaller.
With her hair i straightened it with a slight curl to the ends and swept it to one side. 






final colour photographs

Final Colour Photographs



For my colour photographs i chose to base it on winter, using a fluffy hooded coat as a prop, with the poses i chose a dazed look called winter daze, as i used daylight for this shoot it gave a nice winter pale completion.

I used basic make up for this shoot, using a tiny amount of base for a even completion, peachy lips, small amount of contour, brown eye-shadow and mascara on her top eye lashes.
