The final shoot within the senses collaboration with Rosie Wood took place on Wednesday March 18th, and featured the sense of 'Taste'. This was the hardest sense to source for, therefore took the team a little longer hence the space between shoots. The styling featured a citrus green dress, and a perspex lemon clutch bag which cost the photographer £800!!!
As discussed with rosie prior to shooting, she wanted straight hair, with a slight wave at the bottom, almost flicked, with natural makeup to match the rest of the collection, alongside a glossy lip. As the styling was so bold for this look, I felt that having simplistic hair will match the rest of the images, and will benefit the look as a whole even if it does not benefit my own portfolio as an individual image.
The makeup and hair took approximately 30 minutes to complete. As I had built a good connection with my model over the past 3 weeks, we knew the processes I underwent and order of hair and makeup application, making it easy for us and also the rest of the team. An issue that did arise and set us back was that the steamer left on by the stylist was over filled and overheated causing it to spill across the floor and cause an immediate health and safety hazard with electrics and water mixing. I turned off the machine before anything further could happen and the stylist was then able to rectify the issue by emptying the steamer.
During touch ups within shooting time I was using hairspray which at one point was able to land in a 'mist' form onto the perspex clutch bag (which as mentioned cost £800). I was very concerned about this, primarily due to price, however myself and the photography assistant were able to use a sunglasses wipe to buff these tiny marks away. This is something I should be more aware of in the future as in industry could of been more costly, and could of potentially lost a job for myself.
Now the 'senses' collaboration with Rosie and Natalie is completed I look forward to receiving the final images, however I am very pleased to have been a part of the series, which I believe will benefit my photographic portfolio.
