4th April So today I finally started shooting my FMP final images. with a build up of nerves I was also incredibly excited to start visually putting my work together, especially after many practise runs of the hair and makeup design. I had a clear idea in my head which I think I will sketch out and post on my blog to show my thought process of the set up of the shoot. As I wanted my images to focus on the hair and makeup, to keep the focus on this I thought a black backdrop for all my images would be best to really make the colour stand out on each look. With a trial and error of lighting which my photographer worked on, the images from my first shoot which was 'Pride' came out brilliantly - down to the shadow and silloette of the face really being defined creating quite a dark, earey feel.
For the hair I stuck to one of my designs that I have practiced many times before and knew exactly how long it would take time wise. As I didn't have much time to do my beauty look to avant garde - by practicing the hair this worked to my advantage as I knew time wise how long it would take me which helped my nerves as I knew exactly what to do. Same as the makeup - with the lighting effects some of the images are just focused on the hair, with the lighting really bouncing off the balls and shaped created by the hair which I think will look interesting in my book.
I am incredibly happy how my first shoot went and can't wait to crack on and shoot the other sins whilst still trying to figure out the name of my book - hoping when I least expect it it will just click to me!! The image on the right is one of what my model took whilst doing the avant garde makeup - quite a nice action shot I think!
