Beauty/Hair

Ok.

So i have decided to go into something a little out of the box for me, usually i like to keep to photographing my little objects in the studio, which are nice and easy (usually!), and don't move, they do what they want you to do (sometimes they dont!). I have chosen photographing models focusing on Hair, and/or Makeup. Photographing models in this fashionista high quality scene is not my ideal comfort zone, however wanting to make a future for myself in the advertising commercial industry i am finding it more common that models feature in any sort of advertisement.

So... 4 shoots completed in only 1 week! WHATTTT!? who would have thought i had so much hair left compared to all that ive pulled out... (joking!), but this has been a stressful 2 weeks during the holidays preparing myself for these shoots. i will soon post some photographs which are "inspirations" for my folio. Although i do have to give much thanks to Tina for showing me that fashion photography is not just the clothes.

So... that being said, i think i will need to focus more on lighting techniques, as i don't want them all to have a uniform look in terms of lighting. Perhaps some on scene observing Lam and Tina will help me with more ideas.

final proposal

This is my final portfolio for my time at CIT.

I will be producing a studio and a location portfolio specifically in the area of advertising/promotions.

Studio:

Producing 5 images i will produce quality images using glassware.

3 of these final photographs will be composite images. The object of focus will be top shelf spirit bottles, suitable for high end advertisement.

In total the final photograph will comprise of 3-4 edited images composed into one.

The other 2 final photographs will include technical skills with movement, lighting and composition.

Location:

This portfolio will be taken in the streets of Canberra, possibly Sydney.

I will locate a local fashion designer (NOT CIT FASHION STUDENT). I am after a designer who has a "collection" of garments, which can all tie in together. Or, alternatively garments which are all unique in their own way.

These pieces will be on mannequins in the streets, high busy areas will people bustling around. And then there is the rigid mannequin in the middle of it all.

I have access to mannequins, but i am after ones that can be more interactive with their arms, maybe ones bent as though sitting.

Depending on how i am travelling with this portfolio, i will "superimpose" a model's head on to the mannequin.

There will be 5 final images in total.
