Photoshoot 5: February 23rd

After seeing a last minute advertisement for an MUA on the AUB networking page on Facebook, I have taken on another shoot which is a very minimal, but bright shoot, which I will only be allowed 30 minutes for hair and make-up. This is for Lizzie a textiles student who is having a brief 45 minute shoot of her garments and pattern collections, including her swimsuit which will need to be shot on the model it was made for.

The shoot is beneficial to my portfolio, to add some more ethnic skin tones into it, as well as experimenting with colour on this skin tone. The hair was simplistic plaited in a fish tail plait which would not interfere with the nature of the shoot basing it on colour. The model had a weave which was another experience for me to be working on hair extensions other than my own.

Although I was pressed for time on the day, the shoot went well and being punctual was part of this. The model provided her own foundation, and although I had not asked her to do this did use it simply for time saving on this occasion. Using colour on the skin was really exciting and blending a palette of pink, yellow and turquoise together created a beautiful smoked coloured eye. Paired with a pink lip, Lizzie was very pleased with the outcome with her costume. I have not received any images from this shoot yet however they will be available within my portfolio at the end of the term.
