This is my favourite image as i preferred the portrait layout because it allowed for the details of the outfit to be seen, and as i’m looking off screen you can see the dramatic makeup clearer. The editing of this one also came out well and really highlighted the red and brighter areas of the image; also enhancing how the flash caused my beanie to illuminate

For this look i firstly used concealer to create a shaved eyebrow slit, then used lots of dark red shades to create a dramatic eye look, which i then paired with a thick winged eyeliner. Next i added a slit and upside down cross under my eyes with red and black eye shadows, as often seen in these sort of looks. I finally added a red gloss. My outfit included black cargo trousers with a metal loop, layered roll neck with a skater t shirt and a fluorescent threaded beanie.

With this image i added smoke as i thought it appropriately matched up with this theme and could be associated with the lifestyle often following this sort of dark, grunge appearance. I also liked the way it appeared to swirl around my head as if it were surrounding me.

The persona i’m trying to create in this image is based on the current ‘eboy’ or ‘skater’ trend seen on the internet, but also openly displayed in the media currently through people such as Billie Eilish.

Who

Younger models, preferably females. They will most likely be some of my friends from my school.

What

I will focus on the face of the models, as well as hands put near their face. I will experiment with emotions, taking photos of the models with a range of different expressions which are similar to the models in Maurizio Anzeri’s photographs, such as; happy, serious/neutral, obscure/silly and other emotions.

Where

I will take the photos in the studio at my school using two point lighting with LED lights. I will ask the models to stand in between the two lights to ensure that the lighting is symmetrical on both sides of the model which creates less shadows.

When

I will take the photographs during a photography lesson or in one of my free periods at school, i will photographs as long as possible to ensure I have a good amount of quality photographs, although this depends on when the studio is free and when my models are free.

Why

I am deciding to have the lighting and models positioned this way in order to get similar images to the photographer Maurizio Anzeri’s work. Although I will not be able to get the exact photo I want without editing the image on photoshop as this photographers photographs look old and vintage rather than modern photos taken on a modern camera. I have chosen this photographer so I can express what I think identity is through loss of identity and identity shown through emotion and personality.

Here are some of the images that inspired me:

How

I will set up the studio with the camera on a tripod to prevent camera shakes, so the images are in focus, as well as this I will set up a two point lighting system with a neutral coloured LED panel in order to allow the faces and hands of the models to be exposed and seen properly.  I will set the shutter speed to a lower setting to make the photo come out sharper and in focus and the aperture should be around f/4.
