Catwalk Shoot One

Here are the images from the first Catwalk Shoot that I have completed. I used a photographer, Amber, to help shoot these images for me. I wanted the images to be as if they were taken backstage, before the catwalk. I think that I have achieved this from the model's placement in the images. This makeup was the makeup that I completed for my timed assessment, which consists of a dewy, flawless skin coverage, glossy eyes and lips, bleached eyebrows and clumpy lashes. On the day, I had pre-clumped the fake lashes, which when applying became difficult. I realised that by using the MAC limpid in black would not set, and the lashes became less clumpy than I would have liked. I am pleased with the bleaching of the brows as I managed to keep the concealer that I used to create the bleached effect off the skin around the brows, so there was no discolouration around the brow bone. I think that I may have used a little too much concealer under the eye as it is slightly yellowing. I think my model had a good face shape for this look, I gently contoured the face as I tried to keep the look dewy as possible without making the face look oily or sweaty. I think that the lip colour compliments the model's skin tone, as it picks up the warmth in her skin. I think that I will use the second image down as my submission, however I particularly like the third image, but think that this pose would not suggest to the viewer that it is pre-catwalk. I chose to style the model in a couple of ways to give some versatility to my images. The third image to me has religious concepts due to the veil being over her head, which I did to relate to the Givenchy Men's Ready to Wear Collection. For the hair, I am conscious of there being a line of colour across the front of the hairline. I didn't want the hair colour to go onto the forehead, which is why there is a line there. I am pleased with the overall look of the images, and thoroughly enjoyed this shoot. I do find it difficult to do 'less is more', however, I think here I have achieved this.
