Work Record November 14th 2013

Preparation;
The idea for this shoot is to create a fun, bright and girly shoot showing ideas of beauty. To do this I am going use sweets as well such as bubble gum which will add to the fun element

This image gives me an idea of how I want my model to look in terms of light, bright, girly make up and hair. I also like the use of bubble gum as it gives it a more fun, silly look. 

To prepare I need to;

• Get a model
• Plan make up
• Get sweets
• Plan poses
• Set up ring flash

What I hope to achieve; 

From this shoot I hope to gain a range of fun, and bright images showing the idea of beauty. 

What I actually achieved; 

I am really happy with this shoot as I got from it what I hoped. To get a shadow - free, professional, bright finish I used the ring flash. I got quite a few different images using a variety of Love Hearts, lollies, and bubble gum. Due to the use of sweets - especially bubble gum - I got quite a few unexpected images such as a bubble popping. These turned out quite well. In terms of editing, I wanted to make sure that the images remained bright and quite saturated while not looking to yellow. I also done some more arty, high contrast coloured images as the idea goes well with the shoot.

 I really like how fun this image looks. with the models eyes looking quite shocked and excited due to how wide they are. The bubble gum gives it a unexpected feel as well, as when capturing the image the bubble could have burst or got bigger changing the image entirely. With this image when it came to editing, I kept it simple, increasing the brightness and contrast which works really well paired with the use of ring flash.

This is another image I really like, due to the use of the lolly, the models expression and pose. In terms of expression and pose I really like how she is turned away slightly and closing her eyes giving a more dramatic effect.With editing, I decided to experiment with making the image purple and high contrast to give more of an outline rather than full image. This gives a very pop art, fun effect which works well with this shoot.



What I am going to do next; 
Next, I think I am going to develop this girly idea by using glitter and other stereotypical girly accessories. I am also going to do a video based on these ideas.
