Changing from Adobe Muse to Wix & Web Development


In the last few days Ive been trying to develop my blog on Adobe Muse, however Im finding that Adobe Muse doesnt support a blog feed function. I did some research in to how to get around this and found a solution which seemed incredibly complicated for an amateur like me. Ive also been findinf other aspects of Muse to be very challenging and highly frustrating. It is because of both these reasons I have decided to create my website on Wix instead. I think this will save me a lot of stress and valuable time.

Shoot 5 - Alicia

Because of issues faced I am currently running behind on my scheduled tasks and not where i should be in terms of the progression of the project. In order to help with this I booked time in the studio this week to shoot 4 looks for the blog. Ive been feeling confident with my photography lately, so i decided i would still go ahead with shooting even though my photographer was unavailable the same time as my model. The model, who i have worked with before, is reliable for delivering excellent pictures so I was very excited for this shoot as I knew I would probably get some great results.

Looking at the photos now, I am very pleased with the results. Ive managed to achieve four beautiful looks that embody subtle interpretations of current trends.I also feel that even though ive used the same model, all four images look very different.

Shoot 4 - Phoebe

For this shoot I was unable to secure a photographer to assit me with shooting and lighting setup. However I endeavored to manage this aspect of the shoot myself as well as the Make up application. My friend Tina was able to assist me with the hair styling. The image below is what I considered to be the best image from the shoot which I have just finished editting.

Overall Im quite pleased with the outcome of the photography and quite glad I did it myself in the end. From now on I think Ill be more confident in setting up the studio and shooting looks myself rather than limiting myself to doing shoots when my photographer is free. 
Im not crazy about the hair styling in all honesty, I feel that i could have directed my friend Tina with better and more in depth instructions to achieve a look i would have been happier with.
