This week I completed the first shoot for one of the looks to be featured on my site. I was able to arrange the help of a photographer and hair stylist. I thought this would relieve some of the stress of having the responsibility of having three roles MUA, photographer and Hair Stylist. I found having a photographer to be really useful as I didn't have the added responsibility of setting up lights and adjusting settings. Overall Im really pleased with the quality of the images taken and thankful I had the help of my photographer. In future I will aim to have this assistance in my upcoming shoots.
This is final image from my initial shoot, which I have edited today. Overall, I think the quality of the image is good. However, I do think the hair styling could have been a little more refined in hindsight. I will keep this in mind for future shoots and try to make sure that the hair styling is up to par.
In this photoshoot, I also shot another look. However I feel that the outcome of this was not as suitable for my website. Comparing the above image to the one below, you can see that the overall effect is completely different. In the top image the model looks polished, refined and radiant. In the image below and others from the shoot, the model looks a little bit miserable. Also the overall mood and aesthetic is more disheveled and messy. I have made the decision not to go forward and edit this image or to even feature this look on the site as I feel the quality is not high enough and the overall mood of the image is too angsty and fierce.
Going Forward...
- Continue designing and shooting looks
- Start designing site layout & logo
♯Understanding of trends & styling conventions
