For this photo shoot I used this photograph for my starting point and inspiration.
Miguel Ribeiro cropped out the rest of the face so that only the eye was left. So I decided to use the full face with different angles of lighting and moving around to get the best angle to almost identical to his, I used soft boxes and a medium light spot light which I placed closer and further away from the model to get the best lighting I needed. These are the results from my photo shoot.
I chose this photograph of Cardin’s work as it is different and mysterious which caught my eye. For this I had to change the focal length (aperture) to a smaller number and asked the model to make slow and fast movements so that it would create this moving motion wave in a way as if there where more people there which look alike and all moving at the same but are slightly transparent.
These are the results from the photo shoot;
For this shoot I used this photograph as my starting point. I found that this was a tricky photography to “copy”, so I used it to change and modify my shoot by still using the hand locked together but spread out and not in a fist like way. Also the lighting I found hard as I couldn’t get the right angles to make it look like Ribeiro’s work, so I also changed that by using a normal light and the tried with flash which gave it a better look but not as much as I wanted it to be.
These are the outcomes from the photo shoot:
For my first shoot by Josephine Cardin, I asked my model to sit on the floor and cover her front and leave her back on show as the image that I chose was a model backless on the ground. This is the image I got my inspiration to replicate it into my own work.
Here are the results from my photo shoot:
Here is the final experimental edit.

EDITING USING GRAPHICS
For my First Photo Shoot, I wanted to collect a variety of portrait images. My aim was to use these images throughout this Structure Project in collages and different edits. I kept changing my white balance throughout the shoot to see which setting was the best. The tangent Light setting was the one that captured the best images. My ISO was on 200 throughout and I also kept changing the shutter speed depending on the position of the light.
There were two parts to this photo shoot. For the First part, I asked the model to take off all her make up so it was natural. I wanted to show her natural beauty so that it would juxtapose to the second part of the photo shoot.
Here are a few simple edits from the first part of the photo shoot. The Black and White ones my favorite one because its revealing every detail, and every shadow and tone comes across strongly. Also the reflection in her eye comes out really well.
The Second part of the photo shoot was the complete opposite of the first. Instead of having the model wearing no makeup, we applied a lot of makeup onto her face, over dramatizing every detail. We used bright colors to make the most effect.
Here are a few of the edits from the second part of the shoot. The black and white edits are very effective, however, the edit were the model is facing away from the camera, but here eyes are looking straight towards the camera is the most powerful image. There is a chiaroscuro effect with this image which makes it more appealing and adds to the dramatized effect.
This is the Final edited version of the collage.
