Today I am going to be using someone other than myself as a model; Chantelle is a friend of mine who I have been really interested in shooting as she has such a unique, natural look. She is also what can be described as "beautiful" and this works well with beauty shots.
I am wanting to conduct this shoot outside as it is going to have more of a natural 'urban' feel about that will go well with the look I am going for. In terms of the makeup I want my model to wear a striking red lip look, and then have simple natural eyes. My models skin is very clear and she has gorgeous freckles that I want to keep present in the shoot, therefore her face makeup is going to be natural as well.
Shoot Evaluation:
Although it was really cold today and this shoot was outside, it ran really smoothly and I am happy with the result. I also liked the change of working outside as opposed to in a studio, although I definitely prefer working in a studio. Here are some of my favourite shots:
This next photo is must moodier and has more of an urban vibe about it. I like the positioning of my model again and here I used Photoshop to add a Gaussian blur to the photo - this has added more focus to the model as the background is quite busy and has strong colours and lines in it. I also experimented with different effects on the eyes here too using the bloat tool on Photoshop to make the pupils slightly bigger and add more emphasis to them.
I have really enjoyed working with someone else today as opposed to using myself. I found it easy to conduct my model and the shoot took half the time and ran more smoothly. I would like to work more models in the future.
Big thank you to Chantelle! - you are so beautiful and amazing to work with! x
