In this shoot I decided to shoot a variety of different people displaying a variety of different beauties, I completed this shoot in the studio. I only used girls within this shoot as it is mainly girls who struggle with insecurities, so I did this shoot as a message to show beauty doesn't just come in one form. If I was to do this shoot again I think I would gather more girls for my shoot and do a 4x3 multiple imagery piece and I would have the girls beauty ranging more from different styles, e.g. gothic, nerdy, natural etc. I think this shoot went okay, apart from the multiple imagery piece I didn't really think about the other shots which were possible for the shoot, I think I should of done more planning for this shoot considering single shots which I could edit. This shoot was very quick for me to complete as I didn't need to prepare my models and I didn't need to arrange them as such, I let them pose how they was comfortable, as i think when a model is comfortable it is visible within a picture as opposed to them being forced. This shoot fits my project brief of beauty because it is displaying different types of beauty within different people and that some beauties are natural and most beauties feel the need to adjust themselves with the use of make up, however each within themselves, each is just as beautiful as the other.
In this image I made a multiple imagery piece of all of the different models I used, each model has their own pose, even if it is just a smile, they each have their own smile that does not look like the others. I think this piece worked very well as each model looks different. In this image I did not edit the singular pictures within the multiple imagery piece as I wanted it to appear natural. In this image my models range from having no make up to wearing a full face of make up, however each model looks comfortable and this is the kind of message that I wanted to send, to be comfortable in your own skin. I used a black backdrop which turned out to be completely black in the image, which worked very well against the complexion of each model.
In this image I took a picture of one of my models covering her face, I think this came out quite nicely with the use of the saturation tool, making her a lot more subtle against the black backdrop. I think this picture by itself has its own little message about the girls of todays society, how they are very insecure and feel the need to hide. Within this image i told the model she could pose however she wanted and she hid behind her hands, this showing that she is camera shy and not very comfortable in front of a lens. I think this shot was very good for the title of the shoot of differences as along with the other pictures it shows how some girls are confident and how some girls are very shy and perhaps insecure. I like in this image how her hands cover the entirety of her face as it sends the message more forcefully as opposed to if she was peaking through her fingers.
By doing this shoot it has made me think of future shoots which I could pursue, for example, I could do a shoot showing various different styles which I have mentioned in the first paragraph. I could also do a shoot involving boys as well showing that they too have insecurities and each look different and simply select boys who don't look similar. Prior to this shoot I completed a 'candid' shoot which showed beauty in its most natural element as the images were shot without my models knowing when I would take a picture, and due to them being boys, they were not wearing make up. I progressed from my 'Candid' shoot onto my 'Differences' shoot, through the theme of being natural as I thought this was a nice idea to have running through my beauty project.
