In this photoshoot I took the photos in the studio using two point lighting to get the brightness and exposure that I wanted in the images below. The models I used were asked to pull different facial expressions that were similar to the some of models facial expressions in Maurizio Anzeri’s photography.  All lights where set at a neutral colour rather than tinted warm or a cold colour but I had the lights as bright as possible.  I had the two LED panel lights illuminating the models from the right and the left also. I have chosen not use some of my photographs as the models were not always pulling the right facial expressions. I have also chosen to crop some parts of the images to make them more symmetrical. My best images were the ones where I barely had a any shadows in the background although I have chosen some photographs with shadows in the background because the facial expressions the models had were better than some of then. photographs with no shadows in the background.

Best Photos

I have specifically chosen these photographs as my best images as my best images because they had the best lighting on the models face and in the background/the models had the best facial expressions. These images were also the most in focus due to the camera being on a tripod keeping the camera steady.

Editing My Best Photo

I have edited this photo to look like an older photograph although I had still tried to make the model look in focus and not grainy. I did this using photoshop using various tool and layering filters and lowering their opacity in order to see the model clearly. I will be sewing different coloured string onto the final image just like Maurizio Anzeri’s work. I have edited the photo like this as the images from Anzeri’s work are mostly old images. This photo links to the loss of identity as I am taking photo with a modern camera and then trying to make it look vintage which takes away the photos identity of being a modern photograph. The sewing I will be doing on top of the image is also related to loss of identity as the string will be cover up some of the face in the photograph.

This is my favourite image as i really like how my smile expresses a happier emotion, which matched more with the persona of a 20s flapper girl, than my other more serious images. It also connotes to how when you are happy with how you look, it can drastically improve your mood and well being; linking to how the uniqueness of everyone’s identities can be shown through their confidence as well as clothing.

For this look i created a sparkly gold and black smoky eye, with a bold red lip and beauty spot. I then matched this with the iconic pearls and headband of a 1920s flapper girl, with intensely curled hair and a basic black top

I think these images really encaptured the style of the 1920s with a fun more fancy look, which shows great contrast to how people style themselves in the world now. They can capture a moment in time as styles go in and out of fashion, as people learn to evolve their self expression

They show how as the world continues, styles can match up with personal identity, not just in everyday life but shown here through interests, such as dance.

This is my chosen image as i favoured the fact it was in the very center, and landscape. It has a smooth finish and effectively highlighted the 80s aspects, allowing focus on all the small details. The bright and bold colours of this shoot was essential in expressing the essence of the time, and so i made it key to choose bright makeup and clothing. I also like how this image showed highlight to my hair so that you could see the crimped, as it brings forward the idea of styles changing over time.

For this look i used a bold yellow and orange eyeshadow paired with a shiny pink gloss, then with my hair crimped in a high ponytail; key aspects of 1980s culture. I then chose an off shoulder 80s top with a bright pink shoulder strap

In a few of the images i also added bright pink hoop earings and netted gloves

This look was to recreate the teen style popular in the 1980s, with bright bold colours, playful hair and odd accessories. These show how fashions and styles change with the times, allowing peoples sense of personal identity to grow and change with age and social aspects

French for ‘living picture’. It’s a silent and motionless group of people arranged to represent a scene or incident. Tableaux photography combines aspects of theater and the visual arts.
