Photoshoot 3

This was my favourite shoot, the lighting was great, Jade was fab and we both eventually got into the hole concept. And she began to really feel the emotions that a girl with this problem may be going through, She has just lost her best friend due to a heart condition from smoking. The leaf represtents the purity of the friendship, the leaf is heart shaped and in a way is her best friend. Showing the heart will never forget the relationship they had.





















Photoshoot 2







Again i  took Hundereds, some i like some i just really dont, i will put a few of both up just to show my ideas. The lighting wasnt great ino and the poses we decided just didnt fit. But here you are...These are the second stages, where one girl finds out she has a heat diese from smoking, (blonde girl) I wanted the expressions to show this from her and the sadness from Jade the brunette model

Photoshoot 1

Only a few of the best ones out of hundereds....









These are MEANT to look like they have been done at a party, At this stage the girls are happy, best friends, living life, Smoking. Once edited and the smoke looks heavier and the wall is bright white, with black and white image. I may leave the playsuit red, to show the simpleness of the photo. Maybe the cherry make bright red. These are just different compositons. I wasnt totally happy with them but i feel once edited they will look great.

About My Images

The first shoot i did with both Hannah and Jade went well, i feel i captured the innocence of the girls and the ignorence of smoking. It was quite a natural yet editorial shoot, i didnt plan for any of the objects to be there, so when they were it was a really great suprise, i thought i could take this two ways, Editorial or Commercial. My night shoot at the Castle didnt go as well as i had planned, we broke the generator and it was -5, so the models in playsuits we not happy models. The light wasnt that brilliant at all and i just wansnt happy with the outcome. I was happy with the close ups of the models, which one of them will feature as the second photo in the series. I was really pleased with the photoshoot with Jade on her own in the woods by the river. The light was fab, and everything turned out better than i thought. I toned down her makeup and hair from the first shoot as i feel we tried to hard and didnt stick to what i had planned to do in the first place with the make up and hair. Both me and jade where really happy and i feel the images send across the message i want really wanted. Anyways, i will upload NOT all of my images becuase some i just really dont think work, but i learned from it and turned it around. I will upload images from each shoot in order, some you will think look pathetic and some you may like, These are NOT edited and i will edit them before mounting and uploading.

Props

I dont think i will be using any props, i want to keep the messgae strong and simple, keep the message of smoking very clear. The only things i will be using are cigarettes, i will maybe use the cigarette packet and lighter in one of the images to make the image more clear.


The only other thing i will require is a a outdoor light and generator. I have asked around for both of these and managed to get them both of my friends dad. This is for the night shoot at Kendal Castle. I took a picure while i was up there of the set up, we needed a blokes help getting it up that hill, and starting the generator thats for sure....

Smoking Campaigns


This image creates a socking reaction. This is what i would
like to create with my images.The use of the colour red here really
stands out in the text. As i am using text in one of myfinal images
of the sequence i think the writing could be in red, to make it look more serious.


This image is in black and white, how i want mine to be.
This has a very serious visual image with it rather than the message itself.
I dont want to create something to graphicbut the use of the smoke is very creative.


This one really created a sad emotion for me.
It created a big impact on me. This iswhat i want
to create with mine. But with a more fashion awearness to it.


I really admire this campaign.They have applied womens fashion to
lung cancer. This is what i would like to do, create an image using fashion
and styling with a strong serious message about how smoking effects the heart.

Poses



These poses all include smoking. This is the main idea for my images so i have just been researching ways in which the girls could pose with a cigerette. Facial expressions showing the ignorence of smoking to begin with, Then the frightened emotion of finding out she has a heart condition, then the sadness of the girl who lost her best friend.


Styling

HAIR

A very effortless look, especially for the first scene. I will backcomb the hair and keep it quite wavy and natural throughout for Jade. For Hannah with shorter hair, it will again be backcombed but simple and sleek. I will do both hair and makeup for the shoots.

Braided Bunch
This is another option for Jade...

Beauty Trend: Hair
Spring/Summer 2010

Braided Bunch

Every season the plait surfaces in one form or another, but never more so than S/S '10 where it was found in all shapes and sizes. Vogue heralded their return to the catwalk in the February issue's "Messy Dressy" article where the dishevelled plait, as seen at Giambattista Valli, Margaret Howell and the much-celebrated Alexander Wang, was put into the spotlight and given a contemporary edge. On the neater side of the spectrum there was a flurry of sophisticated braids that acted as a sculptural foundation. At Issa and Paul Smith brightly coloured ribbons were intertwined with the braid itself and tied high on the head in a Medusa-meets-carnival and actually-looks-really-cool kind of way.
In the words of Neil Moodie, beloved Vogue and session stylist, and self-styled 'plait man', whose nimble fingers can take credit for our favourite plait of the season at Margaret Howell: "It's safe to say that braids are here to stay." So whether you make it loose or tie it tight, there is just no way to get it wrong. All hail the braided bunch.

MAKEUP
Layer Caked

Beauty Trend: Lips
Spring/Summer 2010

Layer Caked

Classic lips with a quirky twist have become a signature at Emanuel Ungaro, and yesterday at the Louvre this was very much the case. Each pair took no less than twenty minutes to turn into a caked-on, deep red stain. Layered carefully by MAC make-up artist Carole Lasnier and her team, the keywords were "thick" and "3D", and the end look a result of a lot of work. First, Cherry Lip Pencil traced the entire lip, then a dusting of translucent powder, followed by Ruby Woo lipstick (a classic and Vogue favourite), then some more powder and finally a slick of a creamy Crimson Lipmix/ Fuchsia Pigment Powder mix that was made on the day. It's safe to say that this labour-intensive look was definitely worth it: these pouts packed a major punch on the catwalk. -  Jessica Hogan, Vogue Junior Health & Beauty Associate

A bright red lipstick and Dark black smokey eyes will bring out the depth in the photos. This will look really good in black and white. Red rosy cheeks (subtle) will bring out their cheekbones.



CLOTHES
JShoes Cadet Black Leather Mid Calf Military Boots

With white/cream leg wamers. And a grey fur gillett in some shots. I chose this playstuit becuase it contains the colour red and its very girly. It actually gives of a love vibe. It just works. The millerey boots becuase they are in at the moment. They toughen up the look and give it an edge. The fur gillet is bringing in the fashion of A/W 10. For my first shoot i will have the models in just ordionary clothes they feel happy and comfortable in. After all this part of the shoot is meant to be more natural.
