Face Forward

These images were created or my Fashion movement shoot. After a very serious term i wanted to have a bit of fun and this was sooooo much fun! basically i purchased skirting boards from bunnings, painted them white and instead of placing the skirting boards lengthways on the bottom of the wall where the wall meets the floor i placed one of the boards vertically up the wall and the one one flat on the floor. I simply got the model to jump in different ways to appear that she is falling so i then can rotate the image the correct way. Turn your head on it's side, and you will understand what i mean :P

Again the make up was done by Emily Walsh which was amazing! and the modelling by Andrea :)

Gucci

Familiar picture? Thats because i added this picture a few weeks back as a Christian Dior ad. This shot of Misha was originally my cosmetic photo. But i changed it to fit both the cosmetic and the perfume brief. I think this works better as a perfume add. I love it as much as i love the photo of Andrea.

The bottle i also shot for the brief. I shot it on 2 pieces of white perspex. A backing and a floor for the shot. I blasted the back with a light behind the perspex just a snoot. Then i used a soft box on the front to soften the bottle evenly. I love the bottle shot also!

Mac me over

This shot took me quite a while believe it or not to finalise into an add. It didn't have to have text it just needed to be a cosmetic shot. I changed my original shot of Misha as my cosmetic shot to a photo i took of Andrea. I love the makeup done by Emily Walsh. The eyes are amazing. I love the crop and though adding a little text and a cosmetic logo 'MAC' would make the image complete. I love it.

Sin City

After a very busy week of photo shoots, reports and presentations on Wednesday i did my sin city shoot. It was a stressful day i'm not going to lie none the less my shoot came out quite differently than i expected but positively it came out quite nice. The shoot consisted of set building, drama and dramatic lighting. Modelling for me was the beautiful Maddie Doyle and to enhance that beauty the make up was done by Demi Gourdouvelis.

The lighting consisted of three flash packs. A beauty dish on the side of the model, a honeycomb to enhance the clothing a bit and a honeycomb on the back wall to create a key light. Cutters were used to stop the beauty dish lighting from bleeding into the background causing too much brightness.

All in all it was a great experience, was fun and very experimental. Things are coming along nicely.
