Bellow are two of the images that we produced as a class. The studio set up included a black back drop, two black reflector boards either side of the model and two beauty dishes behind her and a regular boom light infront of her. This created a soft glow behind her and a nice flattering light on her face. She stood around two metres away from the camera and then we played around with 'filling the space'.
I was so impressed with the results, i think both of these images are practically flawless, and this is just achieved through good lighting. We used a silver reflector to get rid of dark areas and to create the natural glow that you can see on the face. I think this is a perfect set up for beauty advertisments/editorial images and is something i will remember for the future. I think it was extremely flattering as the skin looks flawless, her eyes are bright and bone structure is defined.
After taking these pictures and taking notes, we discussed what the would be a good advertisment for. We all agreed that Marianne has amazing plump lips and had applied a clear gloss which immideiatley draws attention to her lips. We agreed that if we were to chose a brand for the images that we took today it would be mac, as mac's images are usually very clean with little back ground distractions- they often fill the frame with the model and choose one part of the face to draw attention to, depending on the product they are selling. In the case of these images, that product would ither be a lipstick or lipgloss.
I have struggled with getting my head around the photography side of the course but i am feeling a lot more confident and inspired after this lesson.
