Here are the images taken on my shoot. As there are a lot of images my next step will to narrow the images down to my final choices and retouch these.
What do I think was successful about this shoot?
Looking at theses images even before they have been retouched I would say that this shoot was successful. The poses of the model give the overall look of the images a more professional look when comparing them to the images I took on my test shoot. Furthermore I followed my plan to incorporate a bright lip/nail colour so that the images were not bland and did not look all the same colour. I believe the skin in these images looks healthy and glowing, which was exactly the look I was going for, however I am not keen on the lighting in some of these pictures. This I believe will inform my choices on which ones I decide to include in my final blog.
What do I think was unsuccessful about this shoot?
In terms of what I thought was unsuccessful about this shoot I would say it would be the red background. I decided to experiment with a different background other than white, however I believe this looks as if it is competing with the other shade of red in the image (the lips and nails). I do not regret with experimenting with the red background as now I know for my other two shoots that a coloured background would not be the way to go as this takes away from the image and the main focus which is the skin. Saying this in a way I am slightly regretful that I decided to use the red colour as some of my most successful images are the ones with the red background and this is a slight pain as now I will need to look into changing the colour on photoshop. However I feel this was a good idea as it can now inform and help shape my new decisions on the overall aim for my final blog.
What will I change next time?
The next time I shoot I will not be using a different background and will stick to white. I think for my next shoot I will aim for the model to pose differently with her head, for example tilting her head back or some side profile shots, as critically looking at the images I think the hands are placed well however the head needs more working on.
What is my next step?
My next step for this brief will be to complete the next two shoots I have planned and then retouch all of the images so that they look congruent and as though they fit together well. This is important as if the images do not look as though they fit with each other then the end outcome of my final blog will not be as successful as I would like it to be.
